It was an exciting experience to get a Level 5 TEFL Diploma online

Online Level 5 TEFL Diploma course was my first of its kind. I remember how excited and enthusiastic I was feeling when I started it. I was very satisfied with the clear and logical structure of the curriculum and really enjoyed what I was learning and the way it was presented (articles, videos, further readings, webinars). I found very useful to have quizzes at the end of the lessons and it was great to apply all the acquired knowledge in the assignments. It was also comforting to know that we could make repeated attempts.
Personally, I missed having "classmates" who I could have a discussion with (especially about the assignments) and would have felt more relaxed if I had known in advance how long each unit will be (just to schedule my time).
In conclusion, I think this is a high quality, professionally and thoroughly designed course. I´m happy and grateful for completing it.

Pros
  • is equally as reputable as a face-to-face certification
  • you can follow your own pace
  • the curriculum is well structured and very informative
Cons
  • you can feel a little bit lonely
  • you don't know how the 168 hours of the course are distributed

I will highly recommend this site for anyone.

It gave me great experience to put on my resume and I look forward to continuing my education in teaching.

The quizzes and assignments were great for solidifying knowledge learned in the course.

Pros
  • Multimedia platform
  • Great quizzes and assignments
  • Easily accessible
Cons
  • Wait time between assignments
  • Pass, merit, distinction seemed unnecessary

Excellent experience

The TEFL Academy is an excellent choice when it comes to deciding which company to do your TEFL certification with. The materials and lessons provided were informative and helped me to obtain my qualification. I have asked for assistance a few times during my course and each time I got the best help and so much information from the staff. The course was definitely challenging but in a good way. I feel like I will make a great TEFL Teacher after doing this course. The TEFL Academy is always running specials on their different courses and it is affordable for the quality received. I have received multiple job offers all thanks to the help I received from The TEFL Academy after I have completed my course.

Pros
  • Affordable

Online Level 5

The course was structured extremely well. It was easy to navigate. I love the fact that you get multiple times to redo a quiz and there are no time limits to a quiz. The uploading process was simple and quick. Instructions as to how to go about the uploading process was explained well too. It really goes in depth about class room management styles and how to approach students from various cultures. The assignments are structured reasonably and does intensify after every unit. Tutors are very responsive and there are no backlogs. Extremely user friendly and overall a 10/10 experience.

Pros
  • Online so you can work at your own pace.
  • Hands on tutors.
  • No time limit to the cause.
Cons
  • You only get 6months to complete it.
  • Refund period is only 14 from purchase date.
  • Having to convert all files to pdf

Online Certificate Experience

This review will likely not be very helpful, I have only just now completed my certification. I have just applied to one of the jobs on the job board but I have secured one yet so I can not speak to my application of what I learned in the program. However, I will say I was able to complete my certificate sooner than I expected. It was well organised and I received feedback on my assignments quicker than I expected sometimes even on weekends. I could recommend this certificate to anyone who wants to learn the practical information needed for English teaching.

Pros
  • Well organised
  • Prompt communication
  • High quality content
Cons
  • Varying quality of instructor feedback

Online Level 5 TEFL course

This course was one of the best I've ever had! I enjoyed it very much, even though I have to admit for me it wasn't easy, because I have no theoretical background and no experience in teaching. But I took it as a challenge and I succeeded! The course is very well designed, easy to understand, it gives a lot of useful information and materials and the feedbacks received from those evaluating the papers are useful and constructive. I learned a lot during this course and I recommend it to anyone wanting to teach English or just to develop themselves in this field.
