What if your TEFL course wasn’t just a certificate, but your launchpad to a teaching job?
For years, aspiring teachers have trusted Teach Away to help them find meaningful teaching opportunities around the world. Now, we’re opening an exciting new chapter that brings us even closer to that mission.
Teach Away is under new ownership, and proudly still Canadian-owned and operated.
And for the first time in our 20+ year history, we’ve created our very own TEFL certification course, built completely in-house by the hiring experts behind thousands of successful teacher placements.
Why? Because we believe your TEFL course should actually help you get hired.
Why this is a game-changer for future teachers
Most TEFL courses check a box. Ours is designed to open doors.
The new Teach Away 120-Hour Online TEFL Course was created by the same team that supports top international schools in hiring teachers. That means it’s not just based on what you need to know, it’s based on what schools are actually looking for.
Think of it as your TEFL passport and your career prep toolkit, all in one.

Built by Teach Away, trusted by thousands
Until now, we’ve offered TEFL certifications through respected university partners. While those courses remain great options, we knew it was time to create something uniquely ours, designed from the ground up with one goal in mind: helping you land the job you want.
This new TEFL course is the product of everything we’ve learned working with international schools and teachers across 100+ countries.
And it’s just the beginning.
Why the timing couldn’t be better
Hiring season is in full swing. Schools are urgently filling roles for fall. Whether you want to teach online or abroad, being TEFL certified (and knowing how to stand out as a candidate) is more important than ever.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to start your teaching journey, this is it.
And if you’ve been holding off because you weren’t sure which course would actually help you get hired—now you have an answer.
