Important About Level 5 TEFL Program

I finished this program about 5 months. My favorite thing I enjoy was the assignments and my 2nd favorite was the long videos. When I need help, I always communicate with a tutor for assistance. They were very helpful with any issues and questions I had. I would recommend people take their time with assignments because it is a lot of work. The long videos was useful to help me see you how ESL teacher teach the learners. It is a blessing now that I have an opportunity to teach oversea and apply to certain jobs online.

The Beginning of a New Adventure

When I first decided to do my TEFL, I wasn’t completely sure if it was the right thing for me. I just knew I wanted to try something different. Once I started, I realised how easy to follow and helpful the course was. Finishing my TEFL has opened up so many new possibilities and made me realise that there are so many different journeys waiting for me. It was completely worth it, and I would recommend it to anyone who feels stuck or trapped in their everyday routine. Sometimes all you need is the courage to try something new — it could be the beginning of your next adventure. 🌍✨

Every chapter started or unit makes you think more opens your mind and ita so engaging . I look forward with so much excitement and hope for the future .I want to explore my travelling the world dream and I believe this is the first and best step I took when I decided to add tefl to my already existing teaching career . I enjoyed and loved every bit of the program .

A great experience

The Level 5 course of Teaching English as a Foreign Language is a great, easy to navigate course that gives you all the tools you need to get into teaching English. Everything is detailed nicely and laid out in a way that is easy to grasp and understand, even for people who have never had experience in teaching. You can access it whenever you want and you can go at your own pace. The assignments require critical thinking and can be extensive, but nonetheless it is very good since it shows you up front how much work is required in this profession. If you want to get your career started, The TEFL Academy provides you the tools necessary in order for you to get fully into teaching. 10/10, I definitely recommend it.

Never Too Old to Teach an Old Dog New Tricks!

To be honest, at first I found it a bit difficult - the last time I really studied was over 40 years ago for my learner's license! But once I got into it, I went from good, to better, to BEST. I have a professional working background. I have always had unlimited patience and have trained many people who had never even used a computer before. I have so much to share and teach, and this course helped me bring all that life experience together.

I finished well before the time. If I can do it at 62, anyone can! For anyone who feels
discriminated against because of age and thinks they will never work again - please do this TEFL course. It will give you confidence and a new future. You are never too old to learn, and never too old to teach.

Thank you TEFL for believing in me. "I'm hungry to start teaching."

  • Self-paced and easy to understand, even after 40 years of not studying.
  • Gave me confidence and a new future - I finished before time.
What other participants should know
  • No cons - I had a great experience and finished early.

TEFL Course review

I had a very positive experience with TEFL academy overall. The lessons were well organised, clear and easy to follow and the resources provided were helpful and relevant. The assignments were also reasonable and gave me an opportunity to apply what i had learned, everything was well structured and helped me improve from my teaching skills and methods. I found the course both helpful and enjoyable.
all in all im very satisfied with the course and i would recommend it to anyone interested in getting a TEFL qualification.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If i did this program all over again i would change my time management, i would study regularly and don't leave both assignments until the last minute, because i was running out of time due to my work schedule but thank god i got to finish the course on time.

Worth it and manageable

I decided to take this course with the hope to teach English as a foreign language online. I unfortunately haven't started yet, because most schedules are at night, making it difficult while I have a young child and my husband traveling often for work. This being said, I feel that the course was manageable to complete while working full time and having a young child. I had enough and speedy support when needed from facilitators and I feel that the course is worth it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Response from The TEFL Academy

Thanks for the great recommendation, Louisa. Well done completing the course alongside so many other commitments.

Level 5 Diploma in TEFL (168 hours)

I really enjoyed my experience studying with The TEFL Academy. The course was well-organized, informative, and practical. The lessons and assignments helped me understand different teaching methods and improve my skills as an English teacher. Some parts were challenging, but they pushed me to learn more and become a better teacher. I also gained more confidence in teaching students from different backgrounds. I’m grateful for the knowledge and experience I gained throughout the course, and I feel more prepared and excited to begin my journey as an international EFL/ESL teacher.

Response from The TEFL Academy

Well done for pushing through those challenges and best of luck with your teaching career.

TEFL academy for the win!

I loved doing this program. It gave me confidence in a time when I felt really uncertain about the future, it was easy to follow and I enjoyed the content. The design of the course made completing tasks satisfying, and I was able to complete it while still working full time.
The assignments were challenging enough to not be boring, but really achievable. I think English language teaching is a more oversaturated career than I expected, but the site provided various work opportunities updated daily.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Honestly, I didn’t expect to find out so many interesting things about my native language. Breaking it all down to its base components and learning the history of English was way more exciting than I thought it would be.
Pros
  • Easy to follow
  • Boosted my job opportunities
  • Interesting content
