OISE TEFL Certification

TEFL Online Certificate Program – A New Chapter Begins

For over a decade, OISE Continuing and Professional Learning partnered with Teach Away, who served as the program’s online platform administrator. This innovative partnership enabled the TEFL Online Certificate Program to reach learners globally at a time when OISE CPL did not yet have the in-house platforms to support large-scale program implementation.

As technologies evolve and pedagogical standards shift, so too must our delivery models. With that in mind, we are pleased to share that this successful partnership has run its course and we are now concluding our relationship with Teach Away.

TEFL Online Program Update – What You Need to Know

  • The current TEFL Online Certificate Program, formerly administered in partnership with Teach Away, is no longer accepting new enrolment
  • If you enrolled in the last year, on or after April 15 2024 , and have not been able to complete the program please contact oise.cpl@utoronto.ca.

Frequently Asked Questions

The TEFL Online Certificate Program was previously delivered through a partnership between OISE Continuing & Professional Learning (CPL) and Teach Away. That agreement has now concluded. The program is being transitioned to a new administration model, fully delivered by OISE CPL. A newly redeveloped TEFL Online Certificate Program will launch in Fall 2025.
OISE CPL is not continuing the TEFL Online Certificate Program previously delivered by Teach Away. We’re unable to offer access or re-enrolment under the former delivery model. However, we are pleased to offer a few pathways to support your continued progress: Option 1 – Join the new program in Fall 2025. If you completed fewer than five units in the previous program, we encourage you to register for the newly redeveloped TEFL Online Certificate Program launching in Fall 2025. Upon confirmation of your learner record and progress, you will be granted complimentary access to the new program. We may be able to formally acknowledge prior learning and fast-track you through selected modules. Option 2 – Independent Study pathway If you successfully completed Units 1-5 of the former program, you may be eligible for an independent study option to help you complete the final components and earn your certificate. This option is available upon verification of your learner record. To explore either option, please contact us:
oise.cpl@utoronto.ca For payment or refund-related concerns, please contact the former program provider: info@pluribustechnologies.com
All enrolment and payment processing was managed by Teach Away (Kesson Group Inc.), now operating under Pluribus Technologies, not OISE CPL. According to Teach Away’s published Terms & Conditions—acknowledged at the time of registration—no refunds are issued after enrolment, regardless of whether the course was completed or paused. If you believe your circumstances are exceptional or you were affected during the provider’s creditor protection process, please contact:
info@pluribustechnologies.com
When you registered for the Teach Away TEFL Online Certificate Program, your payment was made directly to Teach Away – OISE CPL was not involved in this financial transaction. As a result, OISE CPL is not authorized to process or issue refunds.
Certificates may be issued where OISE CPL is able to verify completion through the learner record. If you successfully completed the program and are awaiting your certificate, please contact: oise.cpl@utoronto.ca
OISE CPL has securely received learner records related to the TEFL Online Certificate Program and will retain these records in accordance with University of Toronto data governance and privacy policies.
We are currently developing a renewed and enhanced TEFL Online Certificate Program, launching in Fall 2025. The new version will feature refreshed content, improved learner support, and direct administration by OISE CPL. You have two options: 1. Join our waitlist to be notified when registration opens for the new OISE CPL TEFL Online Certificate Program 2. Inquire about our independent study option if you’ve successfully completed Units 1-5 of the Teach Away program and would like to continue your learning now: oise.cpl@utoronto.ca
We’re currently experiencing a slight delay in printing and mailing out physical certificates. We appreciate your patience as we work to complete this process. In the meantime, if you haven’t already received one, we’d be happy to provide you with an electronic certificate for your records.
