Challenging and Engaging

Really happy I chose to do this course. It was recommended to me by a family friend - and I'm glad I took their advice! The course was both interesting and challenging. The activities and the information provided were relevant and appropriate. I could really see how what I was learning would be helpful to me in a teaching situation. It was really detailed and thorough. The practical weekend component was really well done and delivered brilliantly by the teacher on the day. I found the role-play activities particularly useful.

What would you improve about this program?
I did find some of the assignment work quite daunting at first. There were a lot of parts to it all and I found I really had to pay close attention to the instructions.
But to be honest, it was all useful so not sure if I would really change anything!

A great experience!

I started the TEFL course in March 2020 when I attended the 2 classroom days. Our instructor PJ (or Princess Judy as she would like to be known!) was amazing. Her patience was second to none. More importantly, she made learning fun. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in a classroom. The class wasn't too large that I felt I was getting lost in the crowd and the exercises were fun and educational. It was a really nice background for starting the online course. I found the material to be challenging, but fair. The setup is great and very user friendly. Definitely worth it if anyone is interested in a TEFL course.

What would you improve about this program?
I honestly cannot think of anything that I would improve. I think it was very well rounded.

One step closer to my dream!

I enrolled in this course after an alumni recommended it to me and it exceeded my expectations! The platform is easy to use and understand and the content of the course is complete and interesting. Everytime I had a doubt, the support team was quick to resolve it. There are also some great top up courses I have my eye on, and the resources for finding a job or internship are really useful. Overall it was a great experience and I can't wait to put my brand new certificate to use! Thank you The TEFL Academy!

Online TEFL course

My son and I did the Online Level 5 TEFL Course during Covid 19 lockdown in South Africa. My son Matt is an honors Economics student and University and I'm a graduate in English (a million years ago) - and we both found the course very challenging! The support I received (especially when I was battling with one assignment in particular) was excellent. We've both passed our course and are excited to get a job teaching online. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to teach English online.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My most nerve-racking moment was definitely waiting for the results of Assignment 2 which I battled to pass. I overcame it by just ploughing through the rest of the course! And then I passed which I was DELIGHTED about!!!

Online Level 5 TEFL Course

After years of procrastination, I finally signed up to this course and I have no idea why I waited so long!
The content is challenging, valuable and really helpful. I loved the flexibility it allowed me as I am also a University student and was able to do this and my regular studies at the same time. To any body who is skeptical about studying online, I would encourage you to go for it because not can you do it at your pace, the structure of the course makes it a rewarding learning experience.
I am so excited to get out there and start my EFL career!

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps I would add more mock lessons or teaching techniques to practice more what we learn in theory.

Excellent

The Level 5 TEFL Course was excellent. The notes were easy to understand and engaging while the activities were inspiring. I enjoyed the work and the feedback I received after each activity.
I enjoyed the the activities because they were fun to plan and And engaging for me to do. As someone who wants to become a teacher it is an excellent course in introducing the the topic.
I do not understand why I have to use 500 words it it seems really dumb and makes me not want to write a review.
I would recommend the TEFL course but I did not do it over sees just at home.

What would you improve about this program?
Nothing. I think the Level 5 TEFL Course is very good but I did not do this overseas.

The TEFL Academy review

When approaching the idea to do a TEFL course I was anxious because I was unsure about the support I would receive by doing it online but The TEFL academy went over and beyond what expected with guidance and support. I knew what was expected of me through each module and I felt confident knowing I could contact them at any stage if need be and receive a prompt response. The units are easy to understand and not overwhelming with information. The constant quizzes and mini-tests kept me on track and allowed me to assess my own progress and knowledge. I would highly recommend this course.

What would you improve about this program?
There is nothing I would change about this program. It went over and beyond what I expected. I was anxious that there would be plenty of tests and due dates and little to no assistance. However, I was very wrong as I was able to go at my own pace and had plenty of time to complete my assignments. My assignments were not overwhelming as they were explained so thoroughly and my feedback was always positive but helpful. I was given plenty of information and ideas that I know I will use when I am in my own classroom in the future.

Combined Level 5 TEFL Course

The Combined Level 5 TEFL Course presented by the TEFL Academy provides a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. This course is presented in an easy-to-follow manner and the platform is extremely user friendly. Even though the practical component is only two days in duration, I felt I gained invaluable experience. I researched various TEFL providers before signing -up and I can honestly say that I am happy that I chose the TEFL Academy After completing the course, I am confident in my future teaching abilities.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would have put in more effort to complete the course sooner.

Well organized and challenging course

I'm pleased with this course. I have a master's degree in speech-language pathology and the course assignments were challenging and definitely required thought and care. I gained great knowledge in the specifics of language teaching to typical students. I recommend this course if. You are building your resume or would like to expand your knowledge in this area and have a recognized qualification. The price was good for the level of instruction. It is a good format for self motivated and organized students. Be sure that you complete it in the time provided or you have to pay to extend.

What would you improve about this program?
The program met or exceeded my expectations. Maybe include reminder emails weekly to keep people on track who have been slacking

TEFL 5 Course

Great value course. Course materials - reading, tests and assignments are well structured and challenging. Lots of extra sites to refer to for more teaching guidance. Feedback from tutors is very helpful and constructive. Job sites and tips and hints for things like CV, cover letter are very good and easy to use. Lots of guidance given on current covid19 situation and how you can still teach during this very uncertain time. Overall I would highly recommend this course to other people wanting to learn how to teach English to foreign learners.

What would you improve about this program?
Nothing really to improve on. A well structured course and value for money
