Level 5 TEFL Course

I completed the Level 5 TEFL Course. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Feedback was very good and prompt. The content was interesting and the units were very informative. Support staff were very helpful. All instructions were very clear. The time allocation was correct and useful in planning your work schedule. The content covered will be beneficial to anyone wanting to teach English as a foreign language or even just as a normal teacher to improve your skills, give you new ideas about activities and to inspire you to teach your students in new ways.

TEFL combined teaching course

TEFL is very professional in the way they deliver their content. Not being used to online learning. TEFL user interface was simple and easy to navigate through. The student support is marvelous. I needed to rebook a date for the 48hr practice, and they resolved the problem in no time at all. The most challenging part of this course would have been the Assignments, you get 3 attempts at completing the assignments, but thanks to the support of the markers of the assignments I had received constructive feedback as to how I can improve on my Assignments

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The assignments were a bit tough, but with the helpful feedback from the markers at TEFL, I was able to pass them

Good course to an exciting career

An exciting course with endless prospects on completion. The content was well laid out and the online portal was very use friendly. The tutors were very knowledgeable and professional. The valuable feedback provided was very useful. The technical support was superb. All enquiries were handled efficiently. The grammar aspect of the assignments could be improved on in terms of guidance given as some students may not have in dept knowledge of grammar aspects. On the whole the course was well worth the effort.

What would you improve about this program?
Amount of reading can be less. Feedback on assignments could be done faster.

The TEFL Academy Level 5 Course

I have been in the education sector for 6 years and I felt that TEFL was refreshing and challenging! I can use a variety of the skills obtained and use strategies in teaching other languages as well and not only English. The TEFL Academy showed great support towards their students. I did not received my certificate after the waiting period and when I enquired about it, it was send straight away via email. A few days later I received my certificate in the post. Wonderful support from their side!
I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to teach English abroad or just to sharpen their teaching skills.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you need support do not hesitate to contact the support team. They were quick to help with any questions.

My TEFL Academy Level 5 experience

I enrolled in the TEFL Academy Level 5 course when the whole world was under lockdown with the COVID-19 pandemic. Amidst the chaos, this course helped me gain focus and redefine my goals and directed me towards a meaningful and beneficial pathway: teaching English as a foreign language. As someone who has learned other foreign languages, it was really interesting to see how I can teach my home language to others. On a recent trip to Pakistan, I was asked to teach a young girl English. I was not prepared and did not know where to start with teaching English. However, after this course, I feel much more confident, able and excited, to teach English to students of various backgrounds.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Enrolling in this program is a no-brainer - just do it! This course enhances your CV and allows you to think outside the box and to meet lots of different people from different cultures.

The TEFL Academy

The TEFL academy level 5 course is really good for a lot of different people. It definitely opened my eyes to a different career path. I first started the course to pass by time but soon realised that this could be something I would love to do. The course is really interesting and opens your eyes to many things. One thing I did during the course was over think my assignments and what I realised was that overthinking was a waste of time, so don't overthink it. Another good thing about The TEFL Academy is that their support team is really amazing.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would definitely finish the course much quicker instead of procrastinating.

Level 5 TEFL course

I really enjoyed the course and all the information. I studied for a Information technician so I had no experience in teaching, after this course I feel positive that I can accomplice anything and have a life with my family. We are homeschooling our children so this course also helped me to be more open to different ways of teaching. I'm really looking forward to the new chapter in my life. To start teaching and help people to learn English in a open and fun environment. This course was the best decision I made and the best money spend.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
This best and fun way to pay for your traveling. Meeting interesting people were ever you are and also helping people in ways that no one else can. Teaching is a way of living and not a job. Its rewarding and fun, to see your students progress and know that you had something to do with it is the most rewarded you will ever be. Be kind, stay positive and enjoy what you are doing.
