Extraordinary experience

The 180-hour Level 5 Diploma course has been really interesting and extremely useful for me as a teacher. I really learned a lot with no problem at all. The course is clear, complete and well-structured, plus there also very appreciated practical tips for teaching.

Reviews of assessements have been very quick, and support was brilliant when I asked.
Nothing was a problem.
I highly recommend it to all the future teachers. This is exactly was I was looking for!
A special thank goes to Rachel Walsh for her promptness and support.

Feedback

Very engaging and helpful course with variety of activities. I learned a lot and highly recommend everyone who would like to enhance teaching skills. Course was very well structured. Explanations and examples were provided appropriately for each of the sections. I did not really need it because the course is designed pretty self explanatory but there would have been assistance from the company any time. I am a qualified teacher and therefore I can say that the content of this course aligns closely with my own teaching knowledge. Please act immediately to attend this course! You will never regret!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I would recommend that the quizzes entail more scenario questions that require application.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

I recently completed the 300-hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma with the Tefel Institute, and I must say, it was an incredibly enriching experience. This comprehensive course is packed with invaluable knowledge, perfect for anyone embarking on their online ESL teaching career.

Throughout the program, I found myself constantly engaged and learning something new. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, covering a wide range of topics essential for effective ESL teaching. From lesson planning to language acquisition strategies, every aspect was thoroughly explored, providing me with a solid foundation to excel in the field.

I want to extend a special thanks to Rachel, my assessor, whose guidance and support were instrumental throughout the course. Rachel was always there to promptly address any questions or concerns I had, ensuring a smooth learning journey. Additionally, I commend the entire academic team for their professionalism and dedication. Their expertise truly shines through in the quality of education provided.

Overall, my experience with the Tefel Institute was nothing short of fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone looking to kickstart their ESL teaching career. Thank you, Tefel Institute, for equipping me with the skills and confidence to succeed in this rewarding field.

Wonderful TEFL Course

If you are looking for a TEFL course to apply for jobs, I totally recommend this one. I feel I learnt a lot about class planning and management, knowledge that can be used in other subjects, not just English. The web-app is good, no issues. The support is excellent, I encourage you to join their discord! The price I paid is fair for the content, the money value is good. I don't really have any negative thing to say, as my time to complete this course was very short. I did the Level 5 180h, but as a fast student, I completed it far earlier. If you have any problem, you can always contact support via discord, they were very helpful for solving little doubts. Thank you very much!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
All the information regarding class planification and class management. As it was an English as Second Language course, I thought it would focus on teaching English, but in reality, most of the content is similar to what you learn in master degrees for teaching. This is very nice because I feel I got that knowledge in very short time. Perfect for people who dislike wasting time :)
Pros
  • Content is useful for any teaching speciality
  • Web app that works without issues
  • Excellent support
Cons
  • Honestly, I didn't experience any cons

Great course material

Course material is very well organised, easy to understand. It was run very smoothly and the extra support from the team on Dischord was very useful. Thanks to Olivia, Walter, Jessica, Laura and everyone who assisted.
The weekly zoom sessions were also very motivating and insightful, highly recommended the people that sign up for this course to attend those. I also highly recommend anyone to sign up. The community you build is very supportive. Wish the best of luck to everyone doing this course.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Ask the questions you have, don’t be afraid to try and do something different.
Pros
  • Very informative
  • Excellent material and marking
  • Overall great tutor support
Cons
  • Wish there was more help with regards to finding work abroad for non EU citizens

Review on 180 Hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma (Highfield)

I recently completed the 180-hour Teaching English Online course with the TEFL Institute and it has been a good learning experience. This course content was well structured and has a lot of activities along with many useful resources. Everything in the course was explained in detail to the point and the quizzes at the end of the modules were helpful to test our understanding of the topics learnt. The academic team under Ms. Rachel Walsh has been very supportive and prompt in responding to any queries.

180 hours telf

I am pleased with the course, it was intense and sometimes a bit difficult but I am really happy, it had good support, maybe i will add a bit more individual report after doing the assignments, a bit more than a small comment about one particular answer.
the fact that is possible to request more time, was good (in the end I was in no need) and did give me peace of mind.
the material well very pragmatic and easy to understand, the previous explanation about the course was good, the fact it was a discord community it was good too. Maybe the Tuesday class could be separated by level because it was every day new students with the same question and when the number was large, it was difficult to get time to ask for anything.
