The TEFL Academy Reviews

I did this course as I want to teach online English. At first I thought the course content was super easy as I went through the units with a breeze!!! But then came the assignments and wow, what a challenge!!! I've learnt more about English as language in this course than what I did in my 12 years of school!!!
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is serious about teaching English to foreigners as you would definitely learn things about English you'd never known.
Don't hesitate, enroll today!!!

The course proved to be a bit more challenging than I expected (which is a good thing). Although my language has always been one of my top skills, I have learnt so much and expanded my knowledge about language during this course. The assingments are great, although they are a bit tuff and help a lot in order to fully understand lesson planning - making it so much easier when you have to do it for work. It is definitely worth paying a bit more to do the longer course (168 hour, level 5) through The TEFL Academy! It's the only one i would recommend.

This is definitely the most comprehensive TEFL course out there and I have just successfully completed the level 5 168 hours online course. It was definitely more challenging than I anticipated, but I feel proud at having successfully achieved certification, after not having studied for 8 years after my degree. The course content is well laid out and presented. The assignments are challenging and require quite a bit of time and planning.

The actual course content is precise, grammar is spot on and the soft skills taught are invaluable. Good background information and lots of quality external references empower you to learn so much more than the course itself.

Overall a great in-depth and rewarding course.

Between 1990 and 1996, I freelanced teaching English in Italy to single students for approximately 6 years. The TEFL Academy offered some excellent tools to potentially extend that work experience to classroom work.
The course was well structured and informative. And support was always at hand.
I would genuinely recommend the Level 5 course particularly to ESL teachers aiming at working with groups of students.
I also found the fee charged for the course very reasonable for the quality of material offered.

This was a very coherent and comprehensive TEFL course, the instructions for all three assignments were extremely detailed and clear and I didn't even have to wait so long for feedback from assessors (2 days on average). The six-month enrolment period is good, too, as even the busiest of nine-to-five workers can buy themselves some time to complete the course. The icing on the cake is the possibility to choose from three top-up courses which should help you specialize as a teacher - Teaching online, Business English and Teaching young learners.
This course is truly a must for people looking for travel jobs, thank you The TEFL Academy for this life-changing opportunity!

I have recently completed the level 5 (168 hours) Tefl course. I would highly recommend this course to those who are interested in teaching English as a foreign language. I found the course content vast, quite detailed and interesting on all levels. The tutors was extremely helpful, professional and willing to assist at all times. I particularly enjoyed being able to work through the modules at my own pace and found the activities at the end of the modules really helpful. Thank you Tefl Academy for the fantastic learning exprience and helping me make my dreams a reality.

I enjoyed this course, the process was so straightforward and clear that it hardly felt like studying at all, I found it well structured with clear instructions and just overall interesting in it's own right.
There was plenty of support and I never felt lost as to what to do next, the grading was also very good as I received great feedback that helped me a lot.

All in all it's a great qualification to have (I'm already doing online teaching and earning money, and I only qualified two weeks ago) it's not heavy on the wallet and if you go at it full time, it's done very quickly, so as to allow you to earn right away.

Definitely recommend.

I've had some experiences as a teacher in Education Courses in my mother tongue, this one I liked by far the most! it's interesting, never too much, straightforward and the tasks are adapted to what a teacher really needs. I liked the theoretical background, which is clearly aimed at people with some knowledge of the field as well. There isn't any pressure to follow this or that kind of philosophy neither. I really think this is a great way to get an English degree! I didn't had the opportunity yet to find a job outside, but I'm sure TEFL will help me with that as well.

The course material was very interesting and accessible. The ticket system works well but perhaps there should be something else put in place like a tutor to email for assistance or any admin or short questions. Quizzes at the end of the course could be more challenging and clearer or more examples could be provided for the big assignments as this is very nerve-wracking when completing the assignment. The company could also send you an email one month before the expiry date of your course so make you aware of when you need to complete your course by.

The online TEFL is very well-structured, it allows you to study with the most freedom on your spare time, the platform is entertaining and it provides a lot of further references and material that you can use. The reviews of the assignment have always been given on time and usually contain useful feedbacks to improve. At the end of the course there's also a whole page where you can find different websites where jobs from all over the world are posted. Unfortunately, most of them are meant for native speakers. That's clearly not on the TEFL Academy but I thought it was worth mentioning.
