The TEFL Academy Reviews

I studied the level 5 tefl course in Birmingham. I really liked it and felt it was unique. This is because I learned so much about English grammar which I didn't even study In school. I also learnt a lot about lesson planning all in such a short time. I definitely recommend this course to everyone who wants to go abroad and teach English to foreign students around the world and even those who want to teach online from the comfort of their own home! I would also recommend this course to native teachers who want to improve their English grammar and lesson planning. Thank you so much TEFL for providing me with this opportunity. I will definitely study more courses with yourself

The Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) is compiled in a way which is easy to understand, comprehensive, resourceful and incredibly informative for anyone wanting to pursue teaching ESL. I had a great time learning of different ways to teach and interact with people of different backgrounds and levels of studying English. Working overseas also gives you an opportunity to travel, experience different cultures and different ways of living. I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to become and ESL teacher.

I really enjoyed doing this course. It was challenging and informative, but everything was explained well which made it easy to digest. The course covers a wide range of subjects which has left me feeling well prepared for my TEFL career. The course consists of ten online learning modules, three graded assignments, and a two-day physical course at a local hotel, giving you the opportunity to actually put some of your learning into practice. It is quite a lot of work, but well worth the effort. The feedback I got on the assignments was also very detailed, which is a big plus.

With the TEFL Academy course I acquired a lot of new information, techiques and methods to apply on my future career as English teacher for foreigners.
I recommend this course to anyone interested in languages and teaching.
I am an Italian teacher for foreigners, I did all of my studies in Italy and our educational system is focused more on theorical things (that is good, as you have a strong base and a good knowledge of many topics), but with the Anglo - Saxon system I explored the practical side of this job. I have to say that both things combined are great.

The Online Level 5 TEFL Course was the first online distance learning course I ever did, so I had no specific expectations and got surprised very positively. It was clearly structured and very transparent in terms of being aware of the own learning process and progress in the course. The content felt very complete to me and covered all relevant aspects about teaching English as a foreign language, in addiction a lot of further resources are provided at the end of the units and the end of the course. After finishing the course, I received the certificate very fast (in Europe) and also helpful templates for wiring a CV to apply for TEFL Jobs and further job sites. As far as I can see, the end of units tests were fair and easy to handle after some studying of the unit, while the three assignments were very time-intensive and challenging, but also a lot of fun as one really got the possibility to apply the knowledge about teaching methods and lesson planning and to be creative in designing appropriate and interesting lessons. The provided examples and guidance on the assignments were very helpful.
All in all I am very satisfied with this course and I feel confident and well prepared to teach English as a foreign language.

I really enjoyed this course. I always wanted to be a teacher, but I thought it was too late for me. Then I heard about this course from a friend and grasped at the opportunity. When I purchased this course it was on special for only +- R 2500.00 and I was like wow! Getting a level 5 qualification and being able to travel the world sounded amazing. It was a well prepared course with relevant information to teach to students and the tests and assignments were based on what you learnt and enhanced that knowledge. Overall it was an excellent experience and prompt feedback from the tutors.

The course was great and fun, covering all aspects that is needed to be known by a TEFL instructor! I made friends which share the same goals as me though we have a totally different background and age. It will be interesting to see the TEFL Academy posting videos about the alumni's oversea experiences in different country so that the freshies will be better prepared, knowing what the seniors had been through. Overall, it was a great experience and i can't wait to embark on this new journey of mine after graduating with my degree this year!

I am so happy the TEFL course presented itself when I was looking for opportunities to combine work and travel. It was very easy to enroll😊. I have to say: the opportunities this certificate provides when you want to see the world from a different perspective than just visiting a place for a day or so, are priceless. I am looking forward to connecting people through language, give people a voice to be heard globally, and see the world because of it. I have not yet applied for a job so I don't know yet about the support given during this process.

It was the first time I enrolled in an online course, and to my surprise, it was clearly explained from the very beginning, it was easy to go through the learning material and I found a pleasure to be learning the course. When I had questions on certain items on the course, I always got a professional, polite and fast reply from the tutors. The end of unit exams were fun and the assignments challenging and gave me the chance to be creative. I got my certification without feeling I was even studying, I was discovering and having fun.
To all my tutors and stuff from the course, thank you so much for everything!

Starting the TEFL Combined level 5 course was very exciting, I was very amped up and got really excited after completing each test after every module. The online instructions guide's very well and easy to follow. My advice is once you start your assignment don't waste time to complete them, they might seem difficult but once completed and you reflect back you will find your self actually think well that was easy. :-) Great study platform @The TELF Academy.
I can definitely recommend this course.
