Well worth it

I wasn’t sure how useful the course would be but actually, I enjoyed it and found that I learned a lot. The two assignments were slightly more involved than I was anticipating, or maybe I just did more on them than was needed! Either way, I felt that I also benefited a lot from them. The platform was easy to use, either on a tablet or laptop, although for the assignments you do need to use a laptop. Immediately after the course, they started sending me employment opportunities too, although I haven’t able myself of those opportunities yet there foes seem to be a lot out there.

A transformative and supportive experience

Taking this TEFL course has been a transformative experience for me. The content was engaging, thorough, and incredibly practical for real-world teaching.

The course's structure was well-paced, and the materials were both easy to follow and packed with valuable insights. I appreciated how supportive and approachable the tutors were, making the learning journey enjoyable and stress-free.

I learnt a lot and even improved my grammar. This course will help me teach my own children English language skills and grammar better. I also enjoyed learning about the different types of lessons and activities. Im especially chuffed that I also receives so many tips, and digital resources to continue my TEFL development.

Not to over think the assignments

No Easy A

I was under the impression from the price and what I'd read about TEFL courses, that this one would be a walk in the park. Happily, I was wrong. I say this because, whilst the course isn't the toughest thing you'll ever come across academically, it's far from an easy A. So you get a course that takes a bit of hard graft and, ultimately, a diploma that you've definitely earned.

If you possess zero TEFL experience, you'll think, "How could I have jumped on a plane to teach abroad without this?" Look no further than the TEFL Academy.

Pros
  • Value for money
  • Timely feedback
  • Overall, a testing course

I would definitely recommend the TEFL academy to anyone wanting to teach English as a foreign language. The structure was clear and easy to follow, the support was great, and I had a fantastic time with the program! The course material was engaging and I found it easy to stay focused.

I am very excited to get started!

This course has allowed for my dream to become a reality. The course material on online assistance was excellent and it was easy to navigate my online dashboard as well.
