The TEFL Academy Qualifi Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL)

I decided to start a TEFL course during the Covid 19 pandemic. I am extremely thankful that I have chosen The TEFL Academy. The online course was extremely self explanatory and completely do-able. Course content was very interesting with a lot of interactive activities in each unit. I have gained much insight throughout the duration of the course and my future career options have now become very clear. The staff was also very helpful in managing student queries. I really enjoyed the course. I would recommend the course to anyone who is interested in travelling as well as teaching English as a foreign language.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I absolutely regret not knowing about TEFL earlier.

Would Recommend/Take Again

The TEFLAcademy Level 5 TEFL course overall met my needs for gaining a TEFL certification. The course was easy to work through in a reasonable amount of time, and was cost effective, which were two important factors for me. I am hoping to use my TEFL to teach overseas in a Spanish speaking country, and I feel this course has prepared me well to do so. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to do their TEFL in a fully online format, and in as short of amount of time as possible.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I took this course again, I would have spent more time going through the suggested readings. Though not required, they likely would have supplemented some of the main curriculum and not only improved my scores, but also my comprehension of the material.

My Experience with the TEFL academy

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the TEFL academy.
I found the course to be satisfyingly challenging considering that it is a distance learning course- it wasn’t a walk in the park, but it wasn’t extremely difficult either. What I really liked about the course, is that whenever I did get stuck on something, the tutors were extremely helpful. They didn’t take long to respond to my quarries and they explained it perfectly which helped me a lot, especially during my assignment. It definitely was pleasant studying through the TEFL academy and I had no problems whatsoever. The only thing I could think of that they could possibly change, is to expose us more to online work related scenarios.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Definitely having to simplify my English and vocabulary a lot more. I didn’t think teaching foreign students would be harder than teaching an English class.

Really amazing course

This course was filled with so much information, everything you need to know English teaching! However the online version the process was quite slow - this could be something they can improve on; eg. Marking assignments and getting the certificate

But overall it was really amazing! I would recommend to my friends - especially those that want to travel around and earn money at the same time! I’m super happy to have this to add to my CV as well as build on my own personal abilities and skills that come with teaching English.

What would you improve about this program?
More engaging videos and visual learning aids and a faster rate of response

TEFL Academy

A great experience with many helpful and detailed assistance. The course was thorough and tested ability. The content that was covered in the course was found to be extremely useful and acts as great preparation for teaching English in a foreign country. Feedback from the invigilators was detailed and extremely helpful. The program also allows you to be connected to many other people that have completed the same course which could increase your global network. Overall, a great TEFL course experience that adequately prepares you for your travels.

What would you improve about this program?
The course tests were relatively complicated and the material did not always prepare you adequately to pass the tests on the first attempt.

TEFL Academy Online Course

I thoroughly enjoyed and am satisfied with the TEFL Academy online course! Not only is it detailed and well-organized, but the course offers a wide range of topics that are comprehensive and challenging. I also enjoyed the activities in each section. It allows you to apply what you've learnt and better understand the topic. The knowledge I have gained has allowed me to acquire new skills and information that I believe will better prepare me as a future ESL Teacher. It's definitely worth taking this course and I highly recommend it!

TEFL ACADEMY LEVEL 5

Hi

I spent weeks and months searching for the perfect Online TEFL Course, and upon my research I had come across a plethora of TEFL Courses available, each come with their own merit but I was particularly impressed with the TEFL ACADEMY, the price for the course was reasonable, the support given by the staff to clarify things before I began was efficient and effective. The course material was thorough and comprehensive and the assessments really dragged you out of your comfort zone which was wonderful. The tutor and admin support from the TEFL academy staff was helpful and always good. The 20 hour teaching practicum was informative and amazing. I feel as though I am ready to teach the world ENGLISH! :)

What would you improve about this program?
I would like to gain more knowledge on Online Teaching.

Level 5 TEFL Course Completed

I recently completed the level 5 TEFL Course through The TEFL Academy. The course provides you with all the necessary information needed to complete all the tasks, as well as plenty 'Further Reading' material ensuring that you better understand and allowing you to further your knowledge if you wish. The content is beneficial and well laid out for you and the units in this course are entertaining, often including short quizzes/activities which definitely assisted me in the learning process, "The best way to learn is to do" - Paul Halmos. I was satisfied with the course overall and look forward to utilising my certificate in teaching English online. I would recommend doing your course through The TEFL Academy as they offer you loads of support throughout your learning and also, they give you more than enough time to complete the course, it's a stress-free, fun and interactive course that can open many doors for you.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Complete the course in good time, don't procrastinate.

Qualifi Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL)

My experience was unique because I started the TEFL Academy certification during the COVID lockdown. My course was very easy to follow virtually. I have been out of school and out of the classroom for over 20 years, and TEFL Academy was very easy to navigate for someone like me who is not the best with technology. I found the course very challenging, and the support I did need was easy to use. At first I breezed through the online Units thinking I would easily come in way under the 168 hours for the course. But then I got to the assignments. Each one took me weeks to complete, working around my full-time job, and I found them to be more challenging than any assignment I had to get my degree in Education. I would highly recommend TEFL Academy's online certification course!

What would you improve about this program?
While the support from TEFL Academy was great, having immediate chat feature would have made it easier to get answers to questions immediately.
