The TEFL Academy Review

The TEFL Academy is a trustworthy organisation that treats its clients with care. I experienced no drawbacks while studying with TTA. Online support, career advice and guidance as well as engaging and current theoretical content has given me the confidence to apply for teaching English as a foreign language anywhere. I completed my Level-5 TEFL course while completing a final year in undergraduate studies- The TEFL Academy has a flexible study-plan that allows you to study alongside the unforeseen circumstances of life.

Pros
  • Consistent, engaged and prompt online support
  • Easy to use online interface (digital platform is navigable and simple)
  • Loads of supportive literature and resources for the field
Cons
  • I have honestly experienced no drawbacks with this organisation so far.

Online TEFL Course, Level 5 Diploma (168hrs)

The course was well constructed. It contained all the necessary material and instruction to educate a participant on how to teach English as a foreign language. It was informative, challenging and now I will reap the rewards. Looking forwards to beginning my journey with my new skills and qualification.

I would recommend this course to anybody seeking the means to become equipped to teach English.

The first step is always the hardest. But once you start the course, you will be motivated to see it through.

Pros
  • Informative
  • Modern
  • Interactive
Cons
  • Rigid

I made the right decision! Read to know why

Signing up for a programme sounds quite easy but when it comes to choosing the right academy for yourself which works covering all your aspects perfectly that too online is definitely a job. I was recommended The TEFL Academy by a fellow ESL Teacher and trust me it was the right choice. Unlike other academies which provide the courses of same niche.
The TEFL Academy got good on these points:
1) the course content is greatly made and simplified.
2) there were quiz at the end of all units and you definitely know how helpful they work with learning.
3) assignments were in between of units which was quite good because it helped with improving your learning process and tutors corrected with encouragement.
4) one of the best factors were the assignments were quite well explained on how to perform them on the website and live tutor sessions were available on youtube as well. So no need spend time understanding how to actually do this or that.
5) the student support, now be it tutor support, admin support or queries they were all answered at the top most property unlike I have seen in other online learning platforms where they take ages.
6) here comes the best part, when you are all done and have completed the course, The TEFL Academy helps you with cv to helping you find the right job for you.
Overall I had my best experience and as an alumni I will definitely RECOMMEND!
The TEFL Academy for future aspirants.

Pros
  • Content was quite easy to understand and useful as well
  • Student support was available at top most priority
  • Post completion support with CV making to getting you chose the right path for you is available
Cons
  • Lack on updates on a few platforms
  • As a non native speaker there are less opportunities than a native speaker
  • None

Everything I wanted

The course was highly engaging and included everything I wanted. Support was given through helpful links, instructional videos and detailed course content. It was fun and never felt boring. I was highly motivated to complete the course despite my already busy schedule. The course was challenging but not so challenging that I felt I couldn’t handle it. There was no loss of support or connection from learning online, my learning experience was just as good had I been learning in a real classroom. Furthermore, having only finished a week ago I have already been given access to so many potential jobs.

Pros
  • Engaging
  • Motivational
  • Supportive
Cons
  • No connection with other students

TEFL level 5 review

Overall my experience was really good, the work was much relatable and could navigate easy through the site. A good amount of information was provided and work covered in the course was more than enough for teaching students. The time period to complete the course was more than enough and allows you to take your time to do the work and not do everything rushed, so more content sticks with you. There was lots links and tools provided to assist with assignments and after you done the course for later use.

Pros
  • Information provided is sufficient, all aspects of language is covered
  • There is enough time give to complete the course.
  • Jobs and internships are filtered out when you have comleted the course.
Cons
  • Internet connection is required all the time when logging in
  • Assignments should include more speaking practice
  • only those 2 cons

A gratifying experience

With all the TEFL courses online, I wasnt sure which course to take. After some research I finally opted for the TEFL Academys Level 5 online course and the results far exceeded my expectations. The course was very complete, diving into different areas which I would have never considered. The evaluations and feedback from the instructors on the homeworks proved valuable, and I feel prepared to take the leap into teaching.
I would be happy to recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching English as Second Language.

Pros
  • Online platform always available
  • Grammar section for non-grammar buffs
  • Homework assingments which make you practice what you learned

Online Level 5 TEFL Certification

I was very impressed with how well the content was set out and taught, even though it was online. I thought that I would be difficult to teach all the information to someone doing the course online, but it was done very well and done in a way that makes it easier for the learner. The only thing that was a bit "tricky," was the navigation. The course website does not allow you to only go back one page. When you click on "back," it takes you to the main page/dashboard.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone!

Pros
  • Covers all you need to know before you teach
  • Online layout was done very well
Cons
  • The navigation was sometimes tricky, because you cannot go back just one page. (below)
  • It takes you back to the dashboard or main page.

It was an exciting experience to get a Level 5 TEFL Diploma online

Online Level 5 TEFL Diploma course was my first of its kind. I remember how excited and enthusiastic I was feeling when I started it. I was very satisfied with the clear and logical structure of the curriculum and really enjoyed what I was learning and the way it was presented (articles, videos, further readings, webinars). I found very useful to have quizzes at the end of the lessons and it was great to apply all the acquired knowledge in the assignments. It was also comforting to know that we could make repeated attempts.
Personally, I missed having "classmates" who I could have a discussion with (especially about the assignments) and would have felt more relaxed if I had known in advance how long each unit will be (just to schedule my time).
In conclusion, I think this is a high quality, professionally and thoroughly designed course. I´m happy and grateful for completing it.

Pros
  • is equally as reputable as a face-to-face certification
  • you can follow your own pace
  • the curriculum is well structured and very informative
Cons
  • you can feel a little bit lonely
  • you don't know how the 168 hours of the course are distributed

I will highly recommend this site for anyone.
