I highly recommend the Level 5 TEFL Academy to anyone looking to embark on a rewarding journey as an English teacher. It’s an investment in your future that’s truly worth it!

I thoroughly enjoyed the TEFL course. The course structure was straightforward, making it easy to follow, with clear guidelines and excellent study materials. It struck a great balance between theoretical concepts and practical skills, ensuring I felt prepared to teach. The support team was highly responsive and professional, addressing any concerns quickly. This course gave me the tools and skills necessary to begin my journey, and I would strongly recommend it to other individuals who are interested in this path.

I come from a background and strong interest in linguistics. I did this course as a refresher as I completed my TESOL course a long time ago. The material was informative and well-explained. I especially loved the interactive parts of each lesson as it broke up the reading very well.

As it's hard to cover everything about the grammatical structure of the English language and how to teach, there are external resources provided so that further reading can be completed. I recommend this course

We moved from Ireland to Spain very recently and I was looking for a program that could help me get started with a teaching career. This program ticks all the boxes. It is informative and packed with enough information to get anyone ready for a new career or a change in career, and it's perfect for travellers wanting to work while they see the world! The tutors are helpful and supportive, and the constructive criticism after assignments makes it easy to move forward with any hurdle you could possibly encounter. I am very happy with the course and can recommend it to anyone looking to start teaching!

I completed this course in order to gain further qualifications for the job I was already working at. I had a wonderful time completing this program despite taking a little bit longer than expected (I got married and had a baby in the meantime so ended up having to ask for several extensions) The course is extremely flexible which worked out great with all that was happening in my personal life. The material is accessible and presented in a very engaging manner, the test your knowledge quizzes at the end of each unit allow you to assess how well you've absorbed each unit as you go. The assignments are useful even beyond the course and the instructions for each assignment are clear and concise. I highly recommend the TEFL academy for anyone hoping to teach English abroad, they have a very thorough job board, and provide plenty of opportunities and internships to put your newly acquired knowledge to the test all over the world as well as online.

I had recently retired and was very stressed about finding work to supplement my pensionable income. I had been toying with the idea of teaching English online for awhile since I decided on taking early retirement from a very stressful job, working in the media industry. I put my mind to it and took up the TEFL level 5 course as I felt that was the highest that was available. I realized from the onset that it would be a lot of dedication that the hours needed for the course and all the extra reading and studying would take me at least 2 months. I must admit I did lose a little hope after the 3rd section realizing that I had forgotten so many grammar rules, and how would I remember them, but I buckled down and realized that a little hard work wouldn't kill anyone. The course is structured in a very logical way and the progression it took was invaluable. I can honestly say that now that I have completed the course, I really enjoyed it and felt ready to take on whatever would come my way. I feel equipped to be able to impart all this wonderful knowledge I possess to the many hungry students wanting to learn English. I know that my past expertise in the media industry and having many people under me which I mentored and taught, would assist me greatly in my new teaching career. I will be a very good teacher and am absolutely positive that having done this course was the best decision I have made. Thank you to The TEFL Academy for putting together an amazing course, may you continue to encourage new young and old upcoming teachers to a wonderful career in teaching English to foreign students.

I am a impulsive person. One day in November 2024 I got stressed out about finances. I am a business owner and thing do get tough sometimes. So, impulsively, I enrolled for this TEFL course. I thought this was going to be a quick and easy online course. I'll do it in a week, get my certificate and off I go to China. Of course it's not that easy. What was I thinking?

I'll tell you this. This course has opened my eyes to possibilities. It has also prepared me for the BCom I am starting with in January 2025.

The (3) assignments in the TEFL Level 5 course are really challenging. This is what I've always expected from an online learning program. Not just multiple choice questions, but assignments that really challenge you and test your comprehension of the knowledge conveyed.

Since I am MD of my business, I have not yet decided how I want to use my new qualification. I want to get to a point where I can remove myself from the business' operations and then go do something else, something useful or perhaps start an online English school of my own. Or perhaps the most exciting of all, travel the world.

I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who are interested in a TEFL career. The program is well structured and the content is comprehensive.

The TEFL Academy Level 5 Online Course is an engaging curriculum for aspiring TEFL teachers. The course covers essential topics that are beyond essential for TEFL teaching and the modules are well-structured, with a correct balance of theory and practical application and videos. I particularly enjoyed the flexibility of the course which helped me student at my own pace. I want to highlight the amazing job the support system the course has, from their admin team to their tutor support, replying very fast was incredibly helpful for me. Additionally, the videos on YouTube from the course are extremely helpful.

Deciding to get my TEFL certification was a big step, and after some research, I chose The TEFL Academy. Now that I’ve finished the course, I’m happy to share my thoughts with anyone considering it.

To start with, the course content was clear and easy to follow. It’s broken into sections that gradually build your knowledge, covering everything from grammar to lesson planning. What I really appreciated was how practical the advice was—it wasn’t just theory; it gave me ideas I could see myself using in a real classroom.

The tutors were fantastic. They were approachable, quick to respond, and their feedback on assignments was detailed and helpful. I always felt like they genuinely wanted me to do well, which made the experience feel much more supportive than I’d expected.

One of the best things about this course was its flexibility. As someone juggling work and other commitments, I loved being able to go through the materials at my own pace. That said, it does require self-motivation to keep on track, but the course design makes it manageable.

Enrolling in the TEFL program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had always dreamt of teaching abroad, but I didn’t know where to start. The TEFL program provided me with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to turn that dream into reality.

The course was comprehensive yet approachable, covering everything from lesson planning to classroom management. What stood out most to me were the practical teaching tips and techniques—it wasn’t just theory but actionable advice that I could use right away. The instructors were supportive and incredibly knowledgeable, always willing to guide me through any challenges.

Once I completed the certification, I found myself teaching in a vibrant classroom abroad, and it was everything I hoped for. The program didn’t just prepare me to teach; it helped me grow as a person. Being able to connect with students from different cultures and see their progress has been beyond rewarding.

For anyone considering a TEFL certification, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s not just about teaching English; it’s about creating meaningful connections, exploring new cultures, and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. This program truly opened doors for me, and I’m grateful for every moment.
