The TEFL Organization Reviews 1.345

I signed up with this organization as a franchisee in February 2023. I was guaranteed a refund of my startup cost which was a bit over 14K usd, if I didnt break even within the first year. Guess what? I didnt. So I asked for a refund per the contract with James (Jimmy) Harold. Jimmy and his team were in contact with me, and they asked for an extension of time on the refund by only 3 months. I agreed. During this wait and strange communication with Jimmy and his team, I discovered that Jimmy (James) Crangle-not James Harold-is the owner. From about May 2024 to February 2025, I discovered an entire group of 30+ people who also havent been paid their refunds for the franchisee investment. During this same time, the communication between myself and Jimmy and another owner was not good. I was only given 3K of my refund and no one from this company has been in contact about sending me the rest of my refund because its been almost a year.

This course provides thorough and useful study materials to equip you for all areas of teaching - working with students of various ages, adjusting to problems, and even how to find teaching jobs in foreign countries. I learned a lot and would recommend this course to anyone looking to start teaching English overseas or online.

The course made me think. Think about how to prepare myself, think about if I was ready to do this type of work, and think about what my future could be.
It wasn't a difficult course, but it took time to complete and I believe has prepared me to go forward with Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

This course is concise and to the point. The format of the teaching material is well presented and allows you to progress at your own speed. Well done to The TEFL Organization for Providing such a great opportunity.

Easy to use and great information! I am looking forward to the in class experience in Thailand!

Jimmy Crangle TEFL Franchise
Jimmy Crangle from World TEFL Association (iTefl) sold me an online English teaching franchise for approx US$30k in July 2012 with a money back guarantee if certain financial returns were not achieved. On his own admission in Mar 2013 Mr Crangle admitted the 'Franchise Scheme' was a "disaster" and promised all the franchisees full refunds and to this day I am still waiting! I have been in touch with many people who had very similar experiences between 2013 and 2022. I would like to hear from others who have had similar experiences.

All was well until i had a problem with printing the certificate. I am still waiting for the response . I have sent an email

Very grateful for this experience. The knowledge and information i have learned from this platform has been truly amazing. Looking forward to applying some of these lessons as well of my own. thank you

I like kind of freedom of study, I am working, get tired and very often is difficult to make a time for study. I have finished this part but not available to print out certificate, I hope it will be solved soon.

video clips in almost all lessons made my studies easy before coming to the actual course work. assessment was relevant and content-based. I enjoyed studying with you.

Extremely intuitive, made the advanced things seem so easy and simplified! Loved learning things about the English language I didn't know existed. Wonderful course and definitely a stepping stone to a fulfilling career in teaching English.

The Tefl course is your way ahead to a rewarding teaching career
It is very detailed, informative, very insight oriented, yet very simple and affordable.
Every minute detail is explained very well.
The suggestions and guidance of how to manage the students, the class arrangement and the lessons go a long way to help us visualise and prepare how to conduct the course.
Utmost care is taken to prepare the would-be teacher in every way with confidence, understanding & enthusiasm.
Besides teaching, this course has also given me insights about human behaviour and life in general.
The vdo in each lesson is an added bonus and the tests are very precise and useful.
The TEFL support team is very supportive, helpful and prompt too.

I am very pleased that the TEFL course was so comprehensive and easy to follow with breakdown on all various relevant topics .The immediate feedback on exam results etc.is highly appreciated. The fact that the course qualification is internationally recognized and allows for standard level of credibility for prospective employers is outstanding. I also learnt a lot about my own language and found the content very interesting. Thankyou.

This was my first time doing an online course, and I must say that this was a great experience. The study materials provided are informative and they prepare you well for the assessments/exams. I think the organisation has done a remarkable job with the study materials provided, however I would've liked to have more videos explaining some concept. Nonetheless I am confident and I fell well equipped for my teaching journey. Thank you.

Excellent course. Learnt a lot and gave me a lot of ideas.

I have learned so much through the course. It provided good content, knowledge, and great teaching tips to practically use in the classroom. And I am excited to embark on my educational career.

It was great, I got to do it at my own paste and all the lessons were quite clear and informative.

The videos combined with theory made lessons interesting. Appreciate the content and knowledge and this course inspires me to want to teach english even more...
Thank You!

A great platform to learn and teach English as a second language

Enjoyed the lessons and excited to take my final exam so I can start to put all of the great things I learned from this program into practice! Thanks TEFL!!
