The TEFL Academy Reviews

I just completed the Online Level 5 TEFL course with The TEFL Academy. The course covered a good range of content that I found engaging. The website worked well and I had a hassle free experience with no problems to report. I'd recommend them. For what you get it's good value for money. I compared many online TEFL providers before choosing The TEFL Academy and as far as I could see they are the best in terms of price and having now completed their course the experience was also of good value. Overall it was a good experience.

This was an amazing course, pity it took me so long to try it out = I haven't met anyone in my circle that has tried this out yet... I had no examples around me of people making a success of this course.
What is excellent is the response/review from the tutors when doing your assignments... the TEFL Academy wants you to pass/complete your course; making sure you not just read/view the content, but understand it as well.
I was annoyed by the time delay in response of my ticket-requests (I wanted to be helped immediately...) BUT the responses were always helpful and encouraging.
One can honestly complete this course in a few short weeks (+-4-6hours a day), but I had family & work life to juggle, causing me to take an extension - my advice is to take the 3month extension instead of monthly (this can end up being way more expensive).

This course was easy to learn and very well structured. The content was engaging and the assignments were challenging enough to put the theory we have learned into practice. The activities in each unit helped prepare us for the types of questions that were to be asked in the tests. The support provided by the tutors were very helpful and responses were quick and easy to understand. They were very helpful when guiding me on my assignments and their advice was professional. Overall , the course was fun and interesting.

After years of not studying I was nervous about embarking on a TEFL course. But after a reassuring and informative phone conversation with The TEFL Academy I knew that their level 5 online course was perfect for me! Able to study at my own pace (within 6 months) and knowing support was there if I needed it I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The three assignments stretched my capabilities and made me think deeply about my teaching and the excellent feedback showed me areas for improvement. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to add a string to their bow in a way that's fun, interesting and fits in with everyday life! Fabulous!

So I completed my 168-hr TEFL certificate through The TEFL Academy. I often had enquiries about assignments and sourcing teaching materials like worksheets and I always got a quick helpful response from the various support teams.

When it came to documentations regarding my certificate, the support teams were more than happy to help and send proof of verification and any other documents that I was missing they supplied without hesitation.

Overall I had a great experience and all that I need now is a online teaching job.

I started the TEFL Course when I graduated from university in 2020. The year was full of uncertainty and I hadn't figured out yet what to do after finishing my studies. It was hard to get a job especially when freshly graduated and companies preferred to hire experienced workers in such uncertain times. I did the TEFL Course simply to always have a plan B. Being able to teach English will always be useful. I loved the online format that allowed me to complete the course at my own pace. I can't wait to continue traveling the world from now on with the TEFL certificate, which gives me even more opportunities to discover unknown places.

The online level 5 course was full of helpful and descriptive content that covered all that I need to know to start my teaching career. I was initially scared and nervous about teaching, but I am now excited. I feel prepared for this new chapter in my life, all because The TEFL Academy provided extensive and needed content. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a course that will equip them with all the tools and knowledge needed to teach. I am super impressed and happy. Definitely worth the buy!

This was a really good course providing all the relevant information! If your thinking of taking this course you definitely should! One tip- Do the assignments when they are released. The staff was brill and considered my circumstances which allowed me to complete the course on time. Overall - great experience. With the course being online it was also great to know that you could complete units whenever you want! There was no targets and it’s literally up to you when you want to complete the course!

I think what I liked most about this course was, although I am a native English speaker, I learnt quite a bit about the English language. The materials given are informative and fairly easy to follow. I also enjoyed the fact that I could do this course at my own pace. The people who marked my assignments were also extremely helpful and kind. Overall my experience was a 10 out of 10 and I plan on doing more of the courses that the TEFL Academy has to offer. I think the only downside of this experience was that because of the pandemic I was unable to go to the 2 day training classes.

I am an older learner and I thoroughly enjoyed doing this course. The online units are easy to navigate and I loved being able to do them at my own pace. It was a godsend during lockdown having something constructive to focus on. It's a very long time since I had to submit a piece of written work for assessment, and I have to say I found it very challenging. The written assignments took me much longer to complete than I expected but fortunately I was able to buy an extension. I have learned lots and can't wait to use my new skills.
My only negative about the course is the fact the 20hr classroom practice was not able to go ahead due to the Covid situation, but has been replaced by the 10hr webinar. Clearly this is not the fault of the TEFL Academy.
