Great experience!!

I thoroughly enjoyed doing the course. The Tefl Acadamy made my learning experience easy and enjoyable. I learned so much about actual teaching and the content equipped me with enough knowledge to be able to teach with confidence.I enjoyed the course and learned a lot from it. The content is well organized and focused on practical situations. This course was short but very informative and very helpful for an aspiring leader like myself. It also helped me understand how to view or understand when I receive feedback. I highly recommend it!!

Pros
  • Support
  • Good content
  • Good teaching skills
Cons
  • none

TTA (The TEFL Academy) ALL THE WAY!

Now this was a game changer. I have been looking to approach digital nomadic lifestyle, and add a second income stream. The TEFL Academy has excellent rates across its module offering. I chose Level 168 Hours Combined which has 10 hours of Practical Classroom experience. It really makes you attractive to future employers. I found the content engaging and challenging. It really has a way of keeping you productive, the little quizzes for fun keep you learning. I also found the markers to be very thourough and gave excellent constructive feedback. Support tickets are usually handled within 24 hours.

Pros
  • Cost-Effective
  • Widely recognized accreditation
  • Responsive Tutor Feedback on Assignments
Cons
  • Support tickets can take a little long to resolve
  • Assignment Questions are very open ended
  • You lose access to the portal

TEFL L5 course

The TEFL L5 course was a great course to do. I learnt many things as an educator. Being in education for 9 years and leaving, and now getting back can be a bit overwhelming, but TEFL really helped me get back to what I know. For non educators you get great tips and for those already experienced educators you get really great ideas and fun ways to teach students. I wish I had done this course much earlier but it is never too late to get back what you lost. Thank you TTA for a wonderful experience.

Pros
  • Excellent course
Cons
  • Should be more grammar lesson in the course for non educators

The workload was enough for me

I really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The workload was just enough, so I could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel overloaded and rushed. Overall, I really like this class because the student support (I love the fact that they respond quickly), all assignments and tests are straight forward, they were given with a substantial amount of time to do them. Looking forwarding to embark on a new journey. Thank you for a great semester TEFL ACADEMY.

Pros
  • Excellent adaptability combined with convenience.
  • Improved concentration.
  • student support with exceptional abilities.
Cons
  • High chances of distraction.
  • Rigid learning schedules and inconvenience.
  • Inconvenient doubt resolution.

Great experience

Working towards my certificate with TEFL has been a pleasure , whenever I didn’t understand what to do in assignments or quizzes I created a ticket and got a response within a few hours from a tutor helping me and asking questions. 10/10 customer service and reviews on my assignments were straight to the point and very helpful thus I could complete all my assignments under the 3 chances given for each assignment. I am having a lot of fun applying to jobs and the TEFL website is so helpful and they have given templates on how to create your cv and cover letter

Pros
  • Easily accessible
  • Helpful customer services
  • Challenging assignments and work
Cons
  • Little expensive for course
  • Can access whenever

TEFL

Hey there! If you're considering taking a TEFL course, I highly recommend it. As someone who has completed one myself, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. Not only do you learn valuable teaching skills and techniques, but you also get the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture if you choose to teach abroad.

There are a variety of TEFL courses available, so make sure to do your research and find one that fits your needs and goals. Some courses are online and self-paced, while others are in-person and involve classroom observation and teaching practice. Consider your learning style and preferences when making your decision.

In addition to the training and experience you gain from a TEFL course, having a TEFL certification can also make you a more competitive job candidate. Many schools and organizations require or prefer candidates with TEFL certification, so it can open up more opportunities for you.

Overall, if you're interested in teaching or traveling (or both!), I highly recommend taking a TEFL course. It's a rewarding experience that can lead to many exciting possibilities. Go for it!

Pros
  • Able to move to a country you have dreamed to go, and not just earn a living but join a community
Cons
  • It is a tough course. I have a masters degree in medical Anthropology, and a native English speaker, so I assumed I was educated enough, however, I had to work hard.
  • The staff were so helpful. They got back to me, seemingly, without minutes, to lend support

Big up TEFL!

It was a fantastic experience! Super helpful support and always friendly. The 10 hour in person course was a highlight for me. Great guidance and a very fun and effective learning environment. If you get Jennifer Hall as your instructor, then I am very happy for you! Thank you to the TEFL team for making me as ready as I could possibly be for my future as an English teacher! I would recommend this course to anyone who loves teaching / the idea of teaching as this will open up doors of opportunity 10 - fold!

Pros
  • Interactive
  • Fun
  • Effective
Cons
  • It takes time
  • If you are studying English, may have a lot of redundant information.
  • It is a bit costly.

My time/Experience with TEFL Academy

My experience at the TEFL Academy was great because of their top-notch training, staff and resources. They provided detailed and up-to-date information on teaching English as a foreign language that I could immediately use in the classroom. Additionally, their online platform was easy to navigate and learn through, allowing for convenient learning at my own pace. The instructors did a great job of providing helpful feedback and guidance throughout the course so I could feel confident in my teaching skills. They also offered a unique employment support program that helped find potential teaching positions in my area. This made the job hunting process less stressful and gave me the resources and confidence needed to land a teaching job. The staff was always available to help answer any questions and provide needed guidance. The resources, teaching techniques and job support make the TEFL Academy one of the top TEFL courses around and it has made my experience amazing. They are doing an outstanding job providing quality education as well as job preparation and support.

Pros
  • Flexibility
  • Quality
  • Affordability
Cons
  • Time Commitment
  • Limited Support
  • No Interaction with Instructors
