The TEFL Academy Reviews

Firstly, the staff assistance is amazing. They respond to your emails as fast as possible and they are always prepared to help in any way possible. This course also provides a good and healthy challenge when it comes to the assignment. I have learnt a lot through this course and I recommend the TEFL Academy. I couldn’t be more satisfied with my life experience. I found out about the TEFL Academy through my best friend and I’m extremely happy she introduced this course to me because I will be going to China next year to teach English. If it was not for the TEFL Academy, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to go abroad to a country that I’m extremely excited about. I cannot wait to use my knowledge I learned from my course to teach little kids.

The course was well set-up and simple to follow. Progress within the units can be made quickly. Allow more time to complete the 3 assignments as they are composed of several parts that need to be addressed thoroughly. These assignments are the basis of the final grade. The grading of these assignments does take time to complete so keep it in mind if the class deadline is approaching. The entire course can be completed in a little month given full time attention. A unit can be easily completed in less than two hours. Assignments will generally need several days in order to create and organize the relevant worksheets, overheads, reading materials and reflections. Online assistance was helpful several times in finding where grade feedback was located and uploading files.

A very affordable course, especially for the value it offers. Talk about bang for the buck! The TEFL Academy offers top-notch support with a staff always there to assist you, on work days of course. Course materials and lessons are of high quality and the 3 assignments are challenging enough to be the highlights of the course. To be honest, I had already landed a job when I enrolled, therefore I can't really assess their helpfulness in guiding me towards a job. But I already received an email including links to their job board and other great job boards, thus they seem promising in this regard too. Overall, I was impressed with the affordability and quality of The TEFL Academy's Online Level 5 Course and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get TEFL certified.

Being a rusty 42 year old busy mum of 2 , I hesitatingly signed up for TEFL Course(168 hour course. I had always wanted to pursue a teaching career but never got round to it. We were given six months to complete the course . It was extremely convenient to be able to this course from home . The online course content was tailor made and specific. i found myself growing as I progressed through the course. It was well structured ,progressive and easy to understand . I enjoyed the end of unit tests, they helped to consolidate my understanding. Assignments were always timeously marked and detailed feedback was given
The support system was excellent. Whenever , I logged a query I was attended to effectively and almost immediately.

I have completed this course within a month. It was challenging in a good way, and I have learnt a lot. I'm not a native English speaker. However, I found it very clear and easy to understand. This course contains so much valuable information. I really feel I can start my teaching journey. I'm now able to develop my own lesson plans to teach the four main skills and also know how to choose the best activities for each stage based on my students age and interests. I can also pick the right authentic materials for students and choose a topic which sounds interesting for them. This course provided me with information about how manage the class and understand the students behavior and needs. I'm very excited to start applying for jobs. I really would like to teach in Dubai. Wish me luck!!!

The course was detailed and interesting. It was challenging in places but examples made it easy to understand. The content was current and easy to follow. Support was provided when needed and the ability to extend the course was great. I would have like more practical activities which could be used in class but the theory was very valuable. The content was clearly laid out and easy to follow and the website was rays to navigate. I would and have recommended this course to others as I think with the discount it is good value for money. I feel that even though I am already working overseas it would support my future career in teaching. I am interest to see what support it provides now that I have completed the course. Job support would be greatly appreciated.

This online course was easy to follow and comprehensive. By spending as much or as little time as necessary on each unit I found my time was spent efficiently because concepts I was already familiar with could be covered quickly. The work required to progress through the course ensures you don't get lazy but isn't too challenging. The assignments required for completion of the course were much more detailed, providing ideal preparation for actually teaching classes in the future. Lots of good feedback was returned with the marked assignments which I found extremely helpful in understanding what is required to teach well. The time allowed for access of the course is ample in my opinion. Also provided are lots of links for further reading and professional resources, job sites, etc.

The Combined Level 5 TEFL Course is an excellent option for anyone looking to find a job in teaching English abroad. The course is well-thought out, rigorous and yet accessible. It allows you six months to complete the full course which is ample time to do so. The units are carefully broken up into sections that are easily possible to complete in an evening. The content and assignments will make you feel sure that you are well-prepared for whatever you may face in the classroom and for dealing with a variety of situations in a foreign country. Assistance and feedback is prompt, the content is interesting and the course format is user friendly. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to teach English abroad, online or even just for interest's sake!

I've just completed the TEFL Academy 168 hours online course, which I thought was great! Relevant content, lots of information and external links, as well as access to teaching assistance, should you so require. The modules were well presented, with tests at the end of each and three fairly challenging assignments through which to achieve the certification. Very good value for money! I look forward to putting my new qualification to good use as soon as possible, travelling throughout Africa and South America, where I've already organised teacher volunteering in some incredibly deprived areas. Having this qualification, despite having ten years previous special needs educational provision has helped me get placements in the countries I've selected.

I have just completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) certification.
The online course was great as I managed my time to fit it into my very full working life. The stages were easy to follow and the units and assignments well positioned.

I started this as a referral by my son now living in Asia. Having a value I can take with me when visiting my grandson by being able to teach English as I stay for sometimes 2 months, is exciting for me.
And I know that there are private clients already waiting.

My main focus however is to be a language mediator between trade negotiations as this is my career. To enable business colleagues to better negotiate where English is a foreign second language is where my focus is.

The assignments really challenged me in creativity and knowing my audience.
The short tests at the end of each unit were fun.

I highly recommend this as a confidence builder - by being able to succeed in studying during my mid fifties having last studied in my twenties has been a great experience.
Having this platform to initiate myself made it easy and not as daunting as I feared.

So I haven’t started teaching yet but this has been a well thought out goal with a plan.
And now I’m certified.
