Great course, well worth it

I recently completed the TEFL course with the TEFL Academy, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every way. The course is incredibly well-structured, providing a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of teaching English as a foreign language. I was particularly impressed with the quality and depth of the course materials, which were not only informative but also engaging and practical.
Throughout the course, I gained valuable knowledge and skills that I believe will be instrumental in my TEFL career. The instructors were highly knowledgeable and supportive, always ready to assist and provide guidance when needed.

Pros
  • Well Structured
  • Great content
  • Must have course to start a TEFL career
Cons
  • Could not upgrade my level 3 to level 5 while in the course
  • It does not garrantee work in the field

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

TEFL Level 3

Incredible experience completing my TEFL level 3 course through The TEFL Academy. All course work is provided on a very user friendly student portal and the step-by-step basis makes it incredibly easy and motivating to work through each module. The support from the tutors/ admin was incredible and if I had any queries, they were answered in under 24 hours each time. The job page platform is also very useful and you are able to apply directly off of the TTA website uploading the documents you are provided with at the end. Highly recommend the TTA!

Pros
  • User friendly
  • Great support
  • Assistance with job seeking
Cons
  • Nothing

Great Course

The course is very well structured and has a lot of content. The course is structured in such a way that one is able to read and understand, and contextualise without the need for a tutor/teacher/lecturer. The course is set up in such a way that it prepares the prospective English teacher for both online and face to face English teaching. With regards to the assignment aspect of the course, the questions are well formulated and push one to conduct further research on a specific topic or teaching techniques, which has a positive effect of enhancing the learning experience. The webpage is easy to navigate as the course is divided into 9 (nine) units. upon completion of the each unit, the candidate is tested with a quiz. This is helpful as it ensures that as the candidate has read and understood the unit.

Pros
  • well structured
  • informative
  • easy to follow
Cons
  • none I could find

TEFL ACADEMY = DO IT!

The level 5 course that I did was most definitely a very engaging and informative one. There is so much to be learned throughout the course as it is very thorough and gave me a whole new perspective on teaching in different cultures as well as how to interact with students. I feel so much more confident in my teaching skills after completing this course and I can say the same for you! The course itself was challenging but easy to navigate and I received very quick & friendly online support when I had questions or needed assistance. The TEFL Academy is definitely worth your time!

Pros
  • helpful support
  • informative
  • certification
Cons
  • none

The TEFL Academy has given me incredible support, both with the course contents and with the tutoring support. The staff is incredible, always there to help. I really enjoyed the e-learning platform experience, and the topics we studied were extremely useful and interesting. I strongly recommend this Academy to all those who need a TEFL course, either with teaching experience or with no experience at all!

The TEFL Academy Online Course

This course was amazing!

This is a 10 unit course that you have 6 months to complete from the time of sign up. You can work at your own pace and the platform is interactive and engaging.
What I liked the most was the fact that everything was explained thoroughly and each step within each aspect of the course was well laid out and easy to follow.
I did not have any trouble whatsoever throughout the course and when I was starting to run out of time, I was sent an sms and email reminder with the option to extend the course by a month or three which was incredibly helpful.
I did not have to contact support for anything so I cannot speak to that aspect of the course but I am sure if the course itself I'd any testament, I would have had no issues whatsoever.
After completing the assignments I was given comprehensive feedback which also assisted me with how I can improve.
I also received the pdf version of my diploma quickly and without any hiccups!
I definitely learned a lot and I am excited to start my English teaching career!

Pros
  • Very well structured
  • Easy to navigate
  • Engaging
Cons
  • Extension of course is a bit pricey

TEFL level 5

Just finished the TEFL Level 5 online course and wow, what a journey it's been! From April to August, this course held my attention with its rich content and interactive approach. To be honest, initially, I wasn’t sure what to expect from an online course, but this experience far exceeded my expectations.

I'm thrilled I chose the TEFL Academy. Their dedication to quality education shines through in every module. For anyone aspiring to step into the teaching world, this is the course to take. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone who dreams of becoming a teacher.

Pros
  • In-depth Content: The course dives deep into the intricacies of teaching English, providing invaluable insights that I hadn’t come across before.
  • Flexible Pacing: Being online allowed me to learn at my own rhythm, ensuring I genuinely grasped each topic before moving on.
  • Supportive Community: The academy has fostered a welcoming community. Whether I had questions or just wanted to share an experience, there was always someone there.
Cons
  • Overwhelming at Times: Given the depth of content, there were moments I felt a bit swamped. It's a lot to take in, but with persistence, it becomes manageable.
