Useful content presented in a simple way

Overall, the course was great. I had previously taught English in China without a certificate, however, I have learnt so much useful information with the TEFL Academy Level 5 program that I feel could have immensely improved my experience there. The content is informative and engaging. That said, I think the assignments were a bit tedious and requires a lot more planning and time than I had anticipated. However, once completed, lesson planning becomes a breeze. If you’re considering getting a TEFL certificate, choose the TEFL Academy. You won’t regret it!

Pros
  • Useful content
  • Engaging
Cons
  • Tedious assignments

Amazing program!

I decided to do level 5 TEFL course since it is a big plus on my further journey as a teacher in GCC countries. Event though the course is online, it gives a very thorough knowledge and tasks demand research and dedication which I particularly like. You have to work and earn it, it isn't just some online TEFL courses that you can finish within 1h. I got some great tips regarding lesson planning which I have already used in my classroom. Thanks a lot! I'll def do some additional courses with you!

Pros
  • You choose your own pace
  • Very easy to use
  • Clear instructions
Cons
  • None

Highly Impressed with TTA's Level 5 Online Course

This course is incredibly informative, and the time allocated for completion is more than sufficient. I successfully managed to juggle the demanding 168 Hour Online Level 5 Course from TTA, my full-time job, and my online degree with ease. Despite having three attempts for each assignment, the course's excellent structure allowed me to pass everything on the first try. The prompt delivery of results and certification is a notable plus. Support is readily available, and they equip you with abundant resources to kickstart your teaching career. I wholeheartedly recommend this course with a rating of 10/10.

Pros
  • Highly informative
  • Timely
  • Support offered

level 3 tefl

This course was well put together and very informative. I was worried about understanding the work, but all the content was well explained. The tutors and educators are very hands on and available to assist. The feedback I received when doing my assignments was in detail and helpful. I feel much more confident going into jobs after I completed the course. The tests at the end of each unit are not difficult at all, but at the same time it is challenging enough to understand and remember what content you did in the previous unit. The units are well set up with videos to explain any written content that you didn't understand while reading. When your done they email you with your cv template and helps you apply for tefl jobs I would definitely recommend the tefl academy to anyone that wants to start their tefl career.

Pros
  • the tests are mulitple choice
  • you have 6 months to cpmeplete the course
  • there are live webinars to join for each lesson that's in your unit.
Cons
  • I didn't know where to start my course when i went on the website first but i figured it out very quickly.

An excellent path.

Interesting from the start, the course cleverly focused on the teaching necessary to keep the student's attention alive and stimulate participation, even the shyest ones. The three assignments are structured in such a way as to put the future teacher to the test immediately by preparing real lessons. They were also corrected and evaluated promptly, thus encouraging rapid progress. The amount of additional material provided to delve deeper into the various topics covered is comprehensive and of good quality.

Pros
  • Easy to follow.
  • Well structured.
  • Interesting learning adventure.
Cons
  • There should be more interaction between learners

Incredible, challenging and motivating course

I really enjoyed taking the Level 3 course. It was challenging in terms of the content I was exposed to. Some modules I had to take my time to capture all the knowledge. Everything was there and nothing was left for the student to figure out on their own. I feel I got the tools I needed, the resources and the guidance throughout. The assignments were challenging but the feedback was great. I am looking forward to putting this into practice and excited to teach students! I feel I have gained the confidence as well to do this.

Pros
  • Easy to follow
  • Challenging content
  • Extensive assignments
Cons
  • Modules can be expanded for certain topics
  • A lot of British content
  • Website could be easier to navigate

TEFL level 3 with The Tefl Academy

I discovered this course to be exceptionally enriching, striking a perfect balance between providing the necessary challenge for becoming a confident ESL teacher and offering valuable flexibility for self-paced learning. While the intensity of the experience was rewarding, I would have greatly appreciated concise one-page summaries for each unit, which would have served as a helpful reference for retaining and consolidating key information.
Overall, I would highly recommend this course. It is a reliable source of information with enough challenge to make you feel like you really learned something.

Pros
  • Could work at my own pace
  • Interactive videos
  • Great quizzes
Cons
  • The website could be easier to use
  • Would love more info on what to expect practically as an ESL teacher
  • Would have loved a summary of each unit (one-pager) to refer to
