The TEFL Academy pulls through.

When trying to choose a TEFL course, there are so many different options which can make the whole process very stressful. However, after scouting the terrain, reading many reviews and chatting to a couple experienced individuals; I decided to go with the TEFL Academy! I made this decision based on the reasons of a reasonable price, good reputation, as well as course accreditation. For these above reasons, I would recommend the course by the TEFL Academy to anyone who requires a TEFL course for online or overseas teaching.

I really enjoyed the LEVEL 5 TEFL course

I really enjoyed my Level 5 Tefl course. I learned a lot and there were a lot of tips and tricks how to make your class more interesting for your students and for yourself. I enjoyed the learning videos and I found them funny but very interesting. I am glad I took this Level 5 Tefl course because it will help me with finding the dream job. I enjoyed the fact that in the end of my course there were job offers where I could apply to straight away. I would recommend this course to my friends who would be interested in something similar.

Great program

I found this program and engaging and appropriate for the level I was looking to achieve, especially with the three assignments – they were just challenging enough and gave me enough creative freedom to hold my interest while still fulfilling the course requirements. The course gave me all the tools I needed to achieve my objective for my teaching English as a second language job/qualifications. I did find the grading of the assignments to be maybe a little bit inconsistent: my first two assignments I thought were good, and I was scored “with merit” (not complaining about that), but I thought I did particularly well on the final assignment, and I was only given a “pass” grade. Kind of disappointing.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
When I still hadn’t passed the final unit test after 2 tries and had forgotten that test attempts were unlimited instead of only having 3 tries, as I was thinking (it’s only for the assignments that you get to submit them a maximum of 3 times)!! I thought I had come all this way and done all this work just to fail the course at the very end!
Pros
  • Online support was surprisingly quick and very helpful
Cons
  • Some units were slightly long and dragged out a little bit

I discovered my potential

I never thought I could make it! But the courses are so comprehensive, the material accurate and the bibliography so complete that I had everything to succeed. I just needed to start and believe in myself. This experience has been life changing and I hope that schools and universities around the world will recognize the TEFL ACADEMY quality teaching experience. I feel so much more confident and ready to start my journey as an English teacher. I have got to discover new skills and so much interesting websites and materials I am just inspired and feel I have a lot to share now. I really recommend the TEFL course level 5 to anyone who has a good level of proficiency and is curious to start teaching English as a professional. It really is worth it!! I will never forget this learning experience!

Great course!

The course was engaging. The assessments were a great way of checking and affirming the knowledge along the way. Great feedback from teachers on assignments and whilst the assignments were tricky and time consuming, they were beneficial. The course doesn’t take as long as is given. There is plenty of time to complete. Great course, critical in starting my career as a teacher in Georgia. I enjoyed the course and the opportunities it’s given me are life changing. Thank you the TEFL Academy. Would recommend to anyone.

Stepping out of my comfort zone, and my country !

My experience with the TEFL online level 5 course was extraordinary: Not only was I able to learn about english in itself, but also discover the origins of the language which I knew nothing of.
I am eighteen years old. I am positive that I have a whole life in front of me and, although uncertainty is an recurrent element in one's life, I am one hundred percent certain that doing the TEFL course is an extraordinary way to kick off my career as a full-time traveler.
I am currently teaching english in Colombia. My experience is indubitably unique due to the fact that not only am I enjoying myself in a foreign country, but I am withouth a shadow of a doubt making a huge impact on a community through education as well.
Not all the money in the world can ever pay for that.
Thank you for reading.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Fear. I was absolutely scared. I knew very little about the TEFL academy and Colombia. The things you first imagine are: " I'll get robbed" "it's not a real academy" "Why would I pay for a program I can't even see" "it's a lie"...
Well Buddy, those are all fears installed by our subconscious mind. But let me tell you:
Once you let go of those fears, your new life will be there on the other side; waiting for you. I can attest to that.
Pros
  • Flexibility
  • Incredible Digital Content
  • The ability to make progress and learn in my own pace
Cons
  • I had to pay from Argentina, my country. And It wasn't an easy transaction. But other than that, everything cool
