TEFL Academy Review

This was a great course and I have no regrets partaking. I was concerned at first due to the fact that I do not have a teaching degree. However, the well designed curriculum was easy to follow. The course, especially the assignments, were challenging but definitely worth it. The step by step advice and how to proceed through assignments was extremely helpful. I enjoyed this course as I was able to work at my own pace which is great for anyone who is working and studying and childrearing. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to teach English. Finally my deciding factor for this particular TEFL course is that is is the only one certified in both USA and UK. This was an added bonus for me.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would say time management and sticking to a schedule. Also read everything! It helps with the assignments!

Tefl course level 5

Great course to do for anyone even if you don’t have any teaching background. I found the course challenging but fun and it helped my gain valuable skills. Very well thought out and interactive units and assignments. I enjoyed this course a lot as I was able to work in my own time which is great for anyone who is working or studying. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to teach English overseas. I learnt a lot about my own language which I never even heard of. I look forward to the future adventures I will pursue because of this course.

What was your funniest moment?
Interesting, challenging and fun. I have no regrets and thoroughly enjoyed the course. Learning the phonics alphabet gave me good giggles.

The TEFL Academy: Best choice by far

Deciding which TEFL course to study was difficult, after all there are so many available. When I found The TEFL Academy and saw that their qualifications are the only ones in the world that are certified in the both the USA and the UK, I knew my choice had been made. Since completing the course, I have no doubt that I made the right choice. The course was comprehensive and well designed, the assignments were demanding but satisfying, and the in classroom portion was eye-opening and very helpful. I would definitely recommend doing the 20 hour in classroom training, even though it was challenging, it provided more detailed and personal information than that offered online. The TEFL Academy is the way to go in my opinion.

What would you improve about this program?
I would spread the in classroom training over two weekends rather than one, it was a lot of information to absorb very quickly.

Level 5 168hours

I enjoyed the course very much. It was a lot of content but absolutely doable. The content was adequate and it covered everything I needed to know to start teaching as a English Teacher. I initially thought the assignments to be daunting since I knew nothing about teaching, but when I started working on it step by step and referred back to the course material, I found that it was achievable. The course helped me immensely as I started teaching straight away. I knew how to plan lessons and how to plan my time accordingly. The support was good and the feedback prompt. I would recommend the TEFL Academy to anyone who’d like to teach English as a foreign language.

TEFL Rate

TEFL is a very exciting program and is equipped with a lot of opportunities to explore and learn from. It provides students with a very detailed outline of grammar concepts and methods that are effective in teaching it. The level of support and immense amount of resources at the disposal of the student makes learning more easier as it expands concepts learnt. The response time of queries is short and the feedback given is constructive really enjoyed taking the course and would definitely do the course again.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My most nerve wrecking moment would have to be on the day my course expired since I no longer had access to the site's resources and couldn't view the ID photo which I uploaded. I was literally stressed over whether or not I'd pass the course if the ID photo doesn't get approved. Thankfully all went well.

TEFL-excellent course

I work as a primary teacher and I took this course to further develop my knowledge of teaching English as a second language. This course was really well structured, the feedback to each assignment was very detailed and I learned so many things from it. I highly recommend it to anyone who considers broadening their horizons. It allows you to work online from any place in the world, connect with students from everywhere around the world. This course is excellent for both people who want to make money by travelling and meeting new people.

Completing my Level 5 qualification through the TEFL Academy

I completed my teaching qualification through the TEFL Academy. The online coarse was completed over a 6 month period, with 2 days in class lessons with a qualified TEFL instructor. I found the online coarse rigorous which showed that they had a lot of experience in the field as the content and lessons were thoroughly researched. The in class lessons where so much fun, our instructor obviously had a lot of experience teaching online and abroad. I am really grateful for the experience and cannot wait to start my teaching career.

What was your funniest moment?
The funniest moments of this coarse were definitely the 2 days spent in class with the TEFL instructor. He was so engaging and had many stories of his exploits around the world surrounding by his talented students.

The TEFL Academy: First Choice Online

The TEFL Academy offers an extensive 168 hour online TEFL course preparing graduates to teach English away or online. Especially during a pandemic, online options are incredibly helpful, and I was quickly able to find and vet the program through online research. I believe this course held up to its reviews and promised quality, and I feel I am now prepared to begin my teaching journey. A combination of self-study, interactive activities and practical lesson planning assignments come together to create a very thorough and information-rich course. Highly recommend!

Great TEFL course!

If you are looking for an online TEFL course this is the course for you! I did my research and this is the one that grabbed my attention and I am glad. The course is really laid out nicely and it is great value for your money. I learnt a lot through the different exercises and assignments. The platform is easy to use and it covers a lot of topics. The content is engaging and you will feel confident once you complete it. If you want to travel and adventure it definitely sets you up for teaching abroad :)

Excellent course!

I am so happy I did the online TEFL course. I am a qualified Foundation Phase Teacher with 10 years teaching experience but I really valued this training and I learnt so much. I feel so confident in teaching foreign students and I look forward to putting my new knowledge to work. The support throughout was great and I valued the feedback I received. The course is well presented and is organised well. I am thankful to TEFL. I would gladly recommend it to others, I did actually recommend it to my husband and he is in the process of completing it.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would have started the assignments and completed them quicker.
