The TEFL Academy Reviews

The level of professionalism in this course was excellent. The learning materials were top notch and of exceptional quality. The assessment and assignments were practical and applicable to real life situations in the classroom. The practical sessions were very insightful with a variety of teaching techniques and methods showcased. There was loads of enthusiasm and energy brought in by the instructor . The level of support and feedback provided throughout this course was superb given that the mode of instruction was online distance education . The online system was very efficient , I experienced no technical glitches or system errors. This course was sufficiently challenging with a range of skills and competencies being evaluated . I definitely recommend this course.

The course was difficult but then again no course should be easy. This in itself shows the credibility of the qualification. Definitely worth the money. Friendly support staff and obtained great feedback when submitting my assignments. The course has helped me in my current role as a teacher teaching English to foreign learners in China. I loved the complexity of the course and the ease of the user interface when working through the course work. Thanks TEFL Academy. I was easily able to complete the course while holding down a full time job. The completion of the course has further opened up so many doors as I am not able to work in many countries with the qualification I have now obtained. I will always recommend you, the TEFL Academy to anyone looking to obtain a TEFL qualification.

This course was comprehensive, easy to use and well presented. It was worth every cent. I have already interviewed with a few online tutoring companies and I know that having the certificate and the knowledge & exposure to TEFL that comes with that certificate is making all the difference as I progress through the interviewing process.

The assignments were challenging and the feedback from the markers on-point. Suggestions and guidance given for real class situations were relevant and valuable, the templates provided for lesson plans and lesson prep are great. Links provided for teaching aids are very helpful. Also, the links provided for job boards and finding work.

I would recommend this course to anyone that is serious about becoming qualified in TEFL, both online and in the classroom.

Myself and my boyfriend did our tefl course with The TEFL Academy. We started in April 2018 and completed it in December 2018. We both worked full-time which is why it took us the extra 3 months to complete the 168 hour course. The course itself is absolutely amazing. It really gives you all the tools you need to put what you already know into practice. If we ever had any trouble the support team were always an email or a phone call away. They're very fast and efficient when it comes to getting back to you. They have excellent customer service. We both throughly enjoyed the course and are now working in Phnom Penh, Cambodia thanks to it. We would, and do, recommend this course whenever we get the chance to. It's 100 percent worth every penny.

I really enjoyed the content of the course, it was very helpful and gave a lot of information. Would defiantly recommend it to other aspiring teachers. The assignments were challenging but markers did help where they could and gave assistance. I liked that I could do the course in my own time and work at my own pace as I am working full time as well as studying. I found myself taking a lot of notes and would recommend having PDF's on the content to print out or save on your computer for a neater and more accurate notes to study from and use in the future. Not very often, the website would be down which is inconvenient when you have set aside a day to make progress in your course, they did justify it by extending the course for that day or two but working full time, it was a lot harder to make up lost time.

The online TEFL course offered by The TEFL Academy was an affordable choice. I didnt know anything about the course, yet once I started I was impressed at how user friendly and easy the online course was to complete. It was actually quite enjoyable, and support was available quickly and efficiently.

I would definitely recommend this course to others. I also found a job on their job board. it gives me peace of mind to apply for jobs from their website, as I feel the posts would have been verified.

I enjoy learning languages, and the subject of English, so I did not find the course onerous or difficult. I think it was pitched just right.

I am looking forward to working as a teacher overseas- this has been a great platform for my future!

I just completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) which also included a 20 hour weekend course in Prague, Czech Republic. The weekend course was great! The instructor was really engaging and funny and able to adapt to all the students on the course even though we all had different levels of teaching experience. The weekend course is also a great way to get some initial teaching practice so if you've never done any teaching before then I definitely recommend it. The online course is also really informative and interesting. I feel like I've learnt so much about teaching and feel confident enough now to stand up and teach! Any contact that I had with the TEFL Academy team was quick, friendly and very helpful. Also, the assignment feedback is really detailed - it's clear that assignments are assessed thoroughly. Overall I'm really happy with every aspect of the course and the TEFL Academy. Can't wait to start teaching now!

I completed the course so I can take my first travel experience, and will be going solo. I am heading to Hanoi, Vietnam in September where I will initially holiday and adventure, then meet up with friends to celebrate my birthday in October for Island hopping in the Philippines. From there I will seek work as a TEFL Teacher around November in an undecided location. I hope to do this part time or even some online, as this will maximise flexibility and time for myself. I hope the New Year will offer a working visit to Japan and/or South Korea, but I am most excited that no plan is the best plan and meeting people and hearing of their experiences along the way will mostly be how I decide where to go.
By completing this course I can now work anywhere in the world which has been a life goal for a long time but had always waited on someone to travel with.. I am feeling really empowered now that this year I have ended a relationship, quit my job, bought my flights, completed my course and am in the process of selling my car and belongings... I can't wait to see what the next chapter has to offer!

Having worked in a state school for 17 years, I was ready for a change. The 168 hour online TEFL course was brilliant in guiding me through what is required to teach EFL students. The assignments were quite challenging but the guidelines were very detailed with step by step instructions on how to complete them and there was access to an online Tutor incase of any problems. The assignments really make you focus on what you have learnt and completing them successfully gives you the confidence to know that you can do it. Having completed the course I studied a top up 'Teaching Online' course which provided valuable information including the pit falls to look out for when starting teaching online. I now feel confident and ready to start my new career!

I felt that this course prepared me more than was necessarily expected for a teaching course. Not only are the modules challenging and well presented but the course is cost-effective and the staff behind the operation are extremely helpful. I found that the course prepared me for almost any situation a person could face when teaching English and there are a lot. What I liked most about the course though was that I was learning something worth keeping. The 20-hour weekend course was interactive, fun and I even made a few friends there. I also found the staff to be very knowledgeable, helpful and all-around friendly. If you're looking for a well rounded, professionally accredited course that gives you a bang for your buck, look no further!!!!
