International TEFL Academy (ITA) staff, students, and alumni are proud that ITA has received multiple awards & widespread recognition as one of the best TEFL schools in the world for offering TEFL certification for teaching English abroad & teaching English online. In January 2025, ITA was recognized for the seventh year running as the "Top Rated Organization for TEFL Course Certification" for 2024 by GoAbroad.com. Before the category was discontinued, ITA had also been recognized as the "Top Online Program for TEFL Certification" for five years straight up until 2022.
GoAbroad.com announced ITA's recognition in a statement revealing its annual "Top Rated Organizations & Programs" list for the highest-rated international study, work, and volunteer abroad opportunities, based on user reviews from the previous year.
"Each year, we celebrate organizations that go above and beyond in delivering exceptional programs, and 2024 is no exception. These Top Rated Providers have been “peer-reviewed” by alumni and participants for their commitment to quality and life-changing opportunities." GoAbroad.com said in the statement.
Other organizations named top-rated in their categories included Loop Abroad (study abroad), Máximo Nivel (volunteer abroad), That's Mandarin (language school), and Pacific Discovery (gap year provider).
"As an organization dedicated to helping people live their dream of teaching abroad and seeing the world, we're very proud of this honor," said Bruce Jones, Founder and CEO of International TEFL Academy. "It's especially meaningful that actual students determine these listings - the people taking the initiative to go abroad and make a difference."
In June 2023, International TEFL Academy also won the prestigious GoAbroad.com's People's Choice Award for the third year in a row after being voted Best Education Organization by study abroad professionals, alumni, and students.
