It was the first time I enrolled in an online course, and to my surprise, it was clearly explained from the very beginning, it was easy to go through the learning material and I found a pleasure to be learning the course. When I had questions on certain items on the course, I always got a professional, polite and fast reply from the tutors. The end of unit exams were fun and the assignments challenging and gave me the chance to be creative. I got my certification without feeling I was even studying, I was discovering and having fun.
To all my tutors and stuff from the course, thank you so much for everything!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Be open minded. Keep on being positive. Remember that hard work can be fun as well. Always think that a mistake can lead you to a better answer and that doors don't open if you don't dare to knock first.

I have just completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) from the TEFL Academy and I must say that I really enjoyed the experience.
The course was challenging, but at the same time very satisfying, and I felt that it covered every area in depth. It was also extremely good value - I'm not sure how they manage to provide this much material and level of attention from the assignment markers for the price.
As with all courses of this type, you need to put the effort in, but if you are prepared to do that, I cannot think of a better course for the money. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend it.

Thank you for the great experience learned heaps. It was a good course that was well paced. I liked the in course tests throughout which helped to affirm the learning experience. The assignments were good practice to try out the learning experience as well as being able to apply in the classroom as am currently teaching ESL. Liked the fact that it was a level 5 recognised qualification that will be recognised around the world which is the reason I selected this course over others. Would (and already have) recommended this course to others who in one case has already commenced with the program. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to get into ESL teaching or who is already teaching and wants to upgrade or obtain a qualification.

What would you improve about this program?

Include more on teaching individuals as I currently do a lot of this rather than groups from an activity perspective.

My 168 hour grade 5 course included both on-line a classroom time so it was a great way back into learning after a 30 year break. I now have, and am using, an invaluable too teaching English here in Rome. Here the minimum amount of text is 750 characters so after having said what I wished to say about the course I can tell you that I completed it mostly in my jim-jams in my bedroom here in sunny Rome and now have a great job teaching English to Italians who are mostly desperate to leave this coutry for a better life in a richer economy. While being the thirst largest economy in Europe post Brexit, it is still very poor by European standards and the younger generation just want to get out for a better future. I, however, love it here, mostly for the cliamte and sun!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Make sue not to leave submissions until the last minute, the technology falls down a bit if you do but they are very helpful to fix this.

I just completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) which also included a 20 hour weekend course in Prague, Czech Republic. The weekend course was great! The instructor was really engaging and funny and able to adapt to all the students on the course even though we all had different levels of teaching experience. The weekend course is also a great way to get some initial teaching practice so if you've never done any teaching before then I definitely recommend it. The online course is also really informative and interesting. I feel like I've learnt so much about teaching and feel confident enough now to stand up and teach! Any contact that I had with the TEFL Academy team was quick, friendly and very helpful. Also, the assignment feedback is really detailed - it's clear that assignments are assessed thoroughly. Overall I'm really happy with every aspect of the course and the TEFL Academy. Can't wait to start teaching now!

What would you improve about this program?

Would be great to have more summaries/key points at the end of units to help with note taking.

I am very grateful to have completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) since it gave me the proper certification to start my teaching job in Germany. The lessons were easy to complete at my own pace at home, I greatly enjoyed meeting students from around the world at the intensive classroom weekend portion, and the assignments were challenging in a good way. I would recommend this program to anyone who would like to teach English in their own backyard or somewhere else completely different in the world! I was really excited to start putting some of the theoretical elements of the course to use in a practical way in the classroom, which proved to be excellent starting points for my deeper understanding of how to teach a foreign language, especially one as complicated as English!

What would you improve about this program?

Liven up some of the material with some audio-visual materials like videos, animations and/or games with fellow students.

Questions & Answers

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

I have spent many years studying and living in Spain. I moved to Alicante, Spain to study as part of my Erasmus programme and lived there for nearly 2 years. I fell in love with the country, the people, the culture and, of course, the food!

I then moved to Murcia, where I taught English as a Foreign Language for a year. It was the best experience of my life and really shaped who I am as a person. I was teaching young learners (5-7 years old), teenagers and adults. I also taught Business English to local companies, which was really interesting! My favourite moment was when I could see that the topic or grammar point we were covering in class actually clicked with the students. It's such a proud feeling to see your hard work paying off and getting good results.

I spent my free time traveling around Spain and visiting different cities such as Valencia, Madrid and Granada. I fell in love with the small, rustic, colourful villages of the small towns, the gorgeous architecture and the warm, open personalities of the local people. I improved my language skills immensely and by the end of the year, I was able to hold a strong, fluent conversation in Spanish, so that was another perk of the experience!

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Working with The TEFL Academy is great fun! We have a fantastic team of supportive, enthusiastic and quirky staff. I really wanted to work for this company because I was keen to share my experiences with others and give hints and tips into what's it's like to be a TEFL teacher, what to expect, what to do/avoid doing. I have heard so many interesting and heart-warming stories from our students and I've also learned so much about different cultures of the world.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

My favourite return student story is one from our student Sandra Dawn Biddulph. Sandra completed our course and went on to teach in Northern Spain as a TEFL teacher. As a mature student, it was amazing to see Sandra immersing herself completely in life of the school, the local community and religious fiestas. Sandra worked in language schools but is also a private tutor. I love that our course has provided her with a full skill set and that she is using what she has learned to help others on their language-learning journey!

I was really able to relate to Sandra, having gone through a lot of the same experiences in Spain. Sandra proves that it is never to let to follow your dream and that jumping into the deep-end can result in the most fantastic experiences.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

The TEFL Academy offers many different internship programmes. If you're keen on working in Spain, I would definitely recommend the Spain Internship programme run by Meddeas. It offers TEFL-qualified teachers the chance to move to Spain to work as a language assistant teaching children from 2yrs to 18yrs old in a Spanish school for 3-9 months. I would love to complete this programme because it offers full board accommodation with a volunteer host family, which I think would be a fantastic experience and a great way to fully immerse yourself culturally. You receive a monthly allowance also, which is more than enough to get by, as your expenses in Spain will be quite low. Food, transport and accommodation are so cheap! A full meal would cost you less than €10 in most restaurants and a beer is only €1.50 on average, which is crazy!

Working 20-25 hours per week in a classroom environment, the programme gives you the chance to work on and develop many skills, such as public speaking, language skills, creativity, team working, topic preparation, patience, maturity, autonomy, and cultural awareness.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

I'm proud of our team every day. I love the fact that all of the staff in Student Services have TEFL experience and have worked abroad. We have a really broad range of knowledge, which is amazing because it allows us to help students out no matter what side of the world they're looking to teach in. We have a really strong and passionate team, who love what they do and I believe that we help with drive the company forward in the best way possible.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I think that it's essential that a company has a key set of values that it sticks by to in order to be successful. The TEFL Academy strives to provide support to our students, from the moment that they enrol, to assisting with their course, to the proud moment when they obtain their qualification, right through to their exciting job search. It's important that we are empathetic and that we can relate with our students on a personal level.
