The TEFL Academy Reviews

I am very satisfied with the Combined Level 5 TEFL course. The practical side, when we had an opportunity to work in groups and to prepare our own lessons, was really exciting. We were shown how to deliver an interesting and at the same time a valuable lesson. I realised that teaching (both children and adults) doesn't have to be boring and trite. I also understood that the right attitude and a bit of creativity can really make a difference in teaching English. The online materials were challenging, especially the assignments, but thanks to them I managed to practice further and deepen the knowledge gained during the course.
I would happily recommend this course to people who feel that combining teaching and travelling is something they would enjoy doing.

The course is very interesting, the topics are well thought out, designed and explained. It provides thorough knowledge on how to present language to different students. The course gathers information regarding a wide range of topics, provides useful materials and interesting ideas.

The three assignments you have to complete allow a person to transition from being freely able to use English to somebody who can actually teach it. You learn how to evaluate, treat correctly your students, understand and lead them on their journey.

The interactive activities have you practicing what you just learned as you go which solidifies your knowledge. In a way the course is structured the same way you should be teaching your students so it is very useful to observe the methods used.

I had an amazing experience during the course. The online portion can be particularly challenging, especially if not taken seriously. The course is packed with interesting and useful exercises and tests which help you to engage with and think about the course materials. I personally really enjoyed the in class portion, as it was an eye opening experience and we had a great opportunity to think outside the box and challenge ourselves to think outside the box. It was amazing to meet the other people doing the course as well. Also, our facilitator was absolutely amazing and it was evident that she had a wealth of valuable knowledge and experience. This course, while challenging at times, was well worth my while and I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to enter the existing world of TEFL.

110% would recommend!
I was hesitant to try a TEFL Course for a couple of years because I didn't like the idea of working in a classroom. But the TEFL Academy showed me there were other ways to teach such as online and in business settings.
The course itself was very well put together, well thought out and straightforward to manage alongside my day job. No stone is left unturned: there is the main course information and then extra videos, articles and books are provided for anyone looking to delve a bit more into the subject.
I completed the course feeling fully informed of my options for a career as well as confident in the material I had learned.
For anyone who is looking to travel and work on the go, this programme is a must as it will provide with such freedom!

I have recently completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs), through The TEFL Academy. This has been a wonderful experience! The website is extremely user- friendly, making it very was to navigate around and use. The work material is very easy to understand and study. I certainly learnt a lot from this course. It is a great way to jog your memory regarding the English language terms, grammar and tenses. The assignments are a bit tricky, but the fact that it challenged me, made me feel so proud once I passed each assignment and also showed me where my strengths and weaknesses lie. The facilitators give wonderful feed back.

I am very excited to see where this qualification takes me and feel a great sense of accomplishment on completing this course.

I am so excited. l finally did it. l conquered and let am ready to change young lives out there. l cannot wait to travel around the world. The Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) was totally worth it. A whole new world awaits me. The only regret l have is not doing it a bit earlier. But all the same l am here now and world here l come. l 100 percent recommend this course to anyone who wants to change their life for the better. Good luck and all the best. I am now at a point in life where everything now makes sense because of teaching English as a foreign language. I am excited and over the moon. The Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) is understandable and straight forward. The staff responds instantly and there are always there to assist. You can also do it.

I started researching how to become a TEFL teacher and again and again I came across the TEFL Academy! And boy am I glad I did! I got great material to study from, the site was never down for maintenance, the end of unit tests were tough but through and prepared me for the assignments, which I might add were engaging and interesting I learned so much more than just how to teach English I learned about people. I would highly recommend The TEFL academy to anyone who wants to obtain a TEFL qualification. Just as I side note I passed with merit and so can you! The TEFL academy offers well qualified lecturers that give expert advice at a moments notice sometimes even at 10pm!! I moved house and being in South Africa I had to wait 12 weeks for WIFI so I was crunching for time but they assisted me by marking my assignments ahead of schedule to accommodate me to finish on time. A truly fantastic team.

The course was presented in an easy to follow structure. It did not seem overwhelming and scattered. Some of the assignments are a little difficult but they provide you with templates and resources that help guide you. The last assignment can be a little overwhelming and there is a lot of moving parts but if you apply your knowledge correctly then you can get through it. I didn't use any of the online assistance because i didn't need to but it is there for you. They have extensions in case you need to extend your enrollment which was really nice. The only problem I had with them was sometimes I would not get responses back within 24hrs when trying to re-enroll. But they made sure not to charge me when I went over the enrollment date. Great course and I learned a lot. I am glad the assignments were a little difficult because now i feel prepared.

I studied the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) and it was really worthwhile. I gained invaluable knowledge that I can put to good use when I go travelling. The online course was easy to navigate through and I felt that I always had support from the TEFL team should I find myself in any bother. There was a lot of work involved between eleven unit tests and three assignments but it was definitely beneficial. If I had any piece of advice to offer it would be to enrol when you have the time to commit yourself to the course. 168 hours may not sound like a lot but there is a huge amount of content that you have to navigate through. As I said, it's all beneficial, so it's not time wasted! You will be glad you did it once you have the certificate in your hands!

The Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) online is well structured. Content is relevant and there are lots of quizzes and additional study resources embedded in the course. The assignments are well designed and the course is easy to follow through when you're studying independently. Support team is responsive and online learning platform is user friendly. There's sufficient time for completing the course while you're juggling with other commitments or work. You can also request for extension if you need to. There are multiple trials for the graded part of work, and you receive plenty of content and resources for learning and completing the graded work to get your certificate. Overall; it was a good experience and the course offers relevant learning content.
