The TEFL Academy Reviews

I found the TEFL Level 5 (168hrs) Course quite interesting and affordable. The end of unit tests were not as challenging as the assignments.
The turn-around time to my queries were always very quick and helpful. The lessons were not long and complicated and very easy to comprehend. I also found the feedback on my assignments to be insightful on where improvement is needed. However, I do feel that the course can be a bit overwhelming if you don't have prior knowledge of how the education system is operated.
Overall this experience was very exciting knowing that you can share a new language to people from various countries around the world.

Great course, enjoyed the fact that I could take it at my own pace. When I ran out of time due to home pressures the admin staff were most accommodating to extend the course for a time period that suited me.
The assignments were not easy which made the course all the more worthwhile. It made me so a lot of my own research and helped me not be so scared of the grammar aspect of teaching English that I was very worried about. I enjoyed the course and will recommend it to my friends. Many thanks zzz

It has been brilliant learning with the Tefl Academy. The registration was easy and convenient and I was pleasantly surprised by the level of support from the staff. The course was well structured, and the contact session was an amazing experience. I learned that being a teacher was no walk in the park but with the support of the Tefl Academy I feel I can make a difference to the lives of other learners. I feel that it is also a great qualification for one to have on their CV. I am incredibly grateful to the Tefl Academy and for what my opinion is worth, it is totally worth it!

The TEFL course provided was of excellent quality. The 20 hours of face to face teaching was fun, engaging and of high standard. My teacher was great and I felt that I learnt many skills about classroom management and teaching in that time. The online course content was challenging and the assignments and tests linked in well with the all the material. I found the staff at the TEFL academy always available to answer questions and help direct me throughout the course. Overall I would recommend this course for anyone looking to learn about teaching English.

I graduated from the online Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs). It has an organized online platform. Doing the course online gave me the freedom to plan my own study time. I was able to continue working while doing the course. The instructions are very clear and you know exactly what to expect from the course from its outline. There are lots of materials for further studying and it prepares you to enter the classroom. It's also great if you'd like to teach English online which is what I've started doing. I Loved the course!

The TEFL Academy combined level 5 course was great. The online course was well laid out and easy to navigate. The interactive activities in the units were very helpful to check my understanding as I went along, and the end of unit tests were actually fun as I was able to check how much of the information I had retained. The assignments' instructions are clear and easy to follow. Any when I had questions, they were responded to in a timely manner.
The practical element was very helpful, as it comforting being able to speak to someone with ESL experience. It was, however, very long as it is squished into one weekend, and so it consumes a whole weekend. Despite this, it was helpful to also practice some lessons and see others do the same. I am currently teaching English to English first language speakers and I will definitely be including some of the activities and method I learnt during the course.

The Tefl Academy definitly opens your eyes to a world of opportunities. I had a positive experience with both components of the course. I found that the in class part was very necessary since it gives you an idea how it will be in a real life situation. In the in class component one also gains knowledge on how to interact with different age groups and the types of games one can use with each class. The online component is also very helpful and gives you valuable information. You learn a lot about what it entails to teach English as a Foreign Language. The Tefl team is also very helpful and friendly. They reply quite fast and has always shown a lot of patience. If one is looking for a career change or for something new I would definitly recommend The Tefl Academy to get one started.

At first I thought it was just a training or a ticket to get to travel the world, but after enrolling I saw that it is a need for me to get the training because it entails all the helpful information needed before embarking on journey of living and teaching abroad.
Online I got a chance to get the gist of what it is like to be an English teacher as a foreign language, how to plan for the lessons, how to make lessons productive for the students. The level of support the academy offers is extremely excellent, they are always available to help if you send a query Emails. The classroom part offers a real experience of teaching and getting to Understand the online content. I thought it was going to be easy to teach because of my teaching experience but during the course I found that teaching people of your same Language is unlike teaching people speaking different language as you. The facilitator helped a lot with everything. I can now say without hesitation that I'm now ready to embark on this TEFL journey through the help of The TEFL Academy.

I started this course with no real idea about how to teach people correctly, whether I wanted to teach or whether in fact I had any abilities to teach at all.

I did a few of the units before attending the weekend session, and found that this helped with the group work as it gave you a good idea of what you needed to achieve. After doing the weekend course I found it really helped me to complete the first assignment.
It also gave a good insight into what you would actually be teaching and important aspects of teaching that you don't really know about through doing the online course alone.
After this, I completed the rest of the units, but also I procrastinated for a while and then realised I only had 30 days to complete the 2 remaining assignments and get them marked(stupid idea!!).
I did manage to pass, with a merit in the end, so I was really happy about that and in doing so it has really encouraged me to look for work as an EFL teacher abroad.....the only thing I have yet to decide is where!!

I would highly recommend the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs)! It was a great experience. It gave me all the information and more on the english language, it’s history, the grammar and how to teach it. If you want to teach English and travel, this is a great place to start! The 2 day course in Limerick I had to attend had a great teacher, it was fun and very helpful. It helped me to understand how to teach the grammar, what students at different levels find difficult etc! Fantastic experience. I hope to travel with this course soon. It gives you lots of information on finding jobs, doing cv letters and cover letters. They give you all the websites you need to find yourself your new TEFL job! Extremely helpful online and very fast response!!!!!
