Fall 2020 Update:
In-Person TEFL Classes Canceled
Due to the ongoing concerns and government orders over the current public health issue, the North American TEFL Academy will cancel all in-person TEFL classes into the indefinite future. Circumstances both in the United States and in Japan will be reevaluated early next year to determine if in-person classes can resume in the spring of 2021. Online TEFL courses will continue to be supported as usual.

Since the State of Illinois issued a "stay at home" order in late March of 2020, all of our in-person TEFL courses typically held in Chicago's North River Neighborhood have been temporarily suspended. While we hope to resume in-person classes for those who prefer that method of learning, we encourage our students to consider taking our online TEFL course as an alternative. In most circumstances, our 120-hour online TEFL course certification will be viewed in the same regard as our in-person course certifications. For the purposes of securing work visas to teach English as a foreign language abroad, our 120-hour online TEFL certification has been accepted by over 30 countries.

Our in-person TEFL course in Japan was canceled earlier this year and will continue to be suspended until further notice until public health guidelines give both the local community and our team the confidence that classes can resume safely. While we hope to resume in-person classes soon for those who prefer that method of learning, we encourage our students to consider taking our online TEFL course as an alternative.
