Winners of the Go Overseas awards for Best TEFL Provider 2022 & 2023, and Best in Academic Rigor 2021!
We’re proud to announce that World TESOL Academy has won multiple awards for our courses.
About Go Overseas: Go Overseas is the leading independent review platform for teacher training courses and related experiences.
Established in 2009, for over a decade they’ve helped thousands of teachers to choose suitable training courses and start teaching English. While there are other platforms, what truly sets Go Overseas apart is that they’re entirely independent – meaning that unlike many other review sites, Go Overseas isn’t owned by any other TESOL/TEFL company. Their main focus is to provide a clear and honest platform for legitimate reviews.
If you’re considering enrolling in a teacher training course or thinking about taking a gap year experience overseas, then Go Overseas will certainly hold some valuable insight for you.
Best TEFL Provider – 2023:
For the second year in a row we’ve been selected as the Best TEFL Provider by Go Overseas.
Throughout this year we expanded our free online teaching practicum to help students in 11 different countries, we also added a hybrid course option in Spain, added more video content to our courses, and continued sharing expert insight on our teaching blog.
Best TEFL Provider – 2022:
In this year’s Go Overseas awards, World TESOL Academy has been selected as the best online TEFL provider.
Over the past year, we’ve continued to build on our course offerings by increasing our tutoring team, adding a new free 20-hour practicum, and sharing useful articles on our teaching blog.
Academic Rigor Award – 2021:
Each year Go Overseas scours all of the verified course providers on their platform to find those worthy of recognition in different areas. The awards are split into categories for the best instruction, value, academic rigor, and support. Within each category, there are first, second, and third place awards available.
We’re very proud to have achieved the 1st place award for Academic Rigor!

This is something that we’re especially pleased with, as over 2021 we’ve worked hard to continually develop our offerings.
These continued efforts have included:
✅ Adding new 60-hour TEYL, 80-hour TEOL, and 70-hour TEAL courses.
✅ Adding more live chat hours per day for our students to talk with real ex-teachers.
✅ Pushing forwards with our policy of dual-accreditation for all of our courses.
We’d like to thank all of our graduates for being a part of this journey and hope that you can share some part of this award with us. As always, we’ll strive to continue providing thorough but affordable teacher training for years to come.
