Good

Really enjoyed learning from this course, and also never be shy to ask for help. The support was absolutely amazing and quick. The course is very easy to understand, and workout honestly, it gives you all the information you need to know, for tests and as well for help in an actual classroom experience. Absolutely worth the money, and time. As I said, the support is really helpful, like if you feel you might not finish on time, ask for support, and they'll suggest options. Haven't started working, but will soon!

Your international journey really starts here.

I was so excited to start this program because I knew it was my ticket to a whole new world of possibilities. The program is seamless and easy to navigate. I won't lie, there was a time when I lost motivation to complete the course, not because of the course, but life got in the way. Getting the certificate is the greatest achievement in my life, and if you want to get into the program, the world is your oyster and it's right at your fingertips. I would recommend taking it with both hands. Goodluck

My honest experience with this TEFL Course

I joined this TEFL course because i want to teach English online. I have never taught before so i was a bit nervous at first. But the course was not too hard. I could read everything on my phone at night after work. The parts about grammar and how to plan a lesson helped me a lot. When i got stuck, i asked the tutors and they answered me fast. The website was easy, it did not use too much data. Now i can plan a simple lesson by myself and i feel ready to try for small teaching jobs. For the price i paid, i learned many useful things. I can tell other beginners to try it.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice is that if you are working you should study in the evening.Take notes on your laptop.
Do not rush,take your time.
Pros
  • Easy to use on the laptop
  • Tutor replied when i was stuck
  • Did not use a lot of data
What other participants should know
  • Some grammar parts need more time to understand
  • My laptop was slow sometimes when i was answering questions
  • I was tired after work and sometimes i wanted to sleep while studying

The best decision I've made

The course is very detailed and for someone like me who isn't a teacher by profession, it gave me a lot of knowledge and confidence for the classroom. I am ready to start sending those applications. I would highly recommend it for anyone who needs indepth knowledge of teaching english as a foreign language. The assignments were a bit tricky but doable. They were marked on time and the feedback was very detailed. The random "test your knowledge" segments were also very helpful in tracking my understanding.

Worth it

I really enjoyed my experience with The TEFL Academy. The Level 5 TEFL course was well organized, informative, and genuinely helpful. I am an experienced teacher but I felt like I was struggling to teach English to second language learners.But I learned a lot of new strategies and approaches that I have been able to apply directly in my classroom.

I was actually able to take what I learned and use it with my students and I've been very excited about that. I am literally so pleased when I finish a lesson and my entire class was engaged. It has helped me think more intentionally about how I teach English.

I would recommend The TEFL Academy to teachers and anyone interested in teaching English because the course provides practical knowledge that can be applied in a real classroom.

Response from The TEFL Academy

Thanks for your review. It is great to hear you are making good use of the skills you learned.

A genuinely rewarding learning experience.

I'm really happy to have completed my Level 5 Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language with The TEFL Academy (TTA).
This has been more than just getting another certificate for me. I genuinely wanted to understand English teaching better and develop myself as a teacher, and the course gave me a good foundation in areas like lesson planning, grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, listening and speaking.
There were definitely moments when the coursework demanded a lot of time and concentration, but completing it feels great, especially knowing that I put real effort into the process.
This is an important step in my larger journey towards becoming a professional English and IELTS trainer, and I'm glad that TTA was a part of it.
A ton of thanks to TTA for the learning experience and quick support over e-mails. Looking forward to putting what I've learned into practice!

I really enjoyed the courses at TFEL.

I had Avery good experience with TFEL. I really enjoyed the courses and found the content clear, useful, and informative. I appreciate the effort and support provided throughout the learning process.
One of things. I liked most was that the courses gave me the opportunity to learn new concepts and improve my understanding in a simple and accessible way. Completing the courses was a valuable learning experience, and I'm glad I chose TFEL.

The only issue was the delay in issuing the certificate after completing the courses. I hope this process can be improved and made faster in the future.

Overall, I'm satisfied with my experience and would recommend

Thank you so much

Response from The TEFL Academy

Thanks for your review. We are very pleased to hear you enjoyed the course so much. We are sorry for the delay you experienced receiving your certificate. As a course that is fully regulated, it is a requirement from our awarding body, Qualifi, that certain regulatory checks are completed before certificates are released. These checks are compulsory and The TEFL Academy does everything within our power to release certificates as soon as possible. However, I do apologise for any delay you faced. I can see your digital certificate was released to you earlier this month but if you have any issue accessing this, please do contact Student Services at hello@theteflacademy.com for assistance.

Level 5 TEFL course Plus Top-ups

In the beginning it was quite daunting, it quickly became evident that not only was this a VERY user friendly learning and preparation platform, it was THE BOMB! Some links were broken and did not work and I could not find the relevant info online. The support, Student services as well as the Technical department sorted out my issues quickly and efficiently. I feel very confident as a new teacher, 4 years teaching experience helped a lot. Thank you TEFL Academy for enabling a brand new journey.

What was your funniest moment?
When I asked questions and the answers were on the following page, many times.
Pros
  • Encouragement about my ideas.
  • Prepare you to teach proper English
  • Preparing me to specialise and study further.
What other participants should know
  • I did not know about the handbook until unit 5.
  • Some of the links were broken or you hit a paywall of sorts.
  • Feedback discouraged me sometimes, yet it became a step to move forward.
Response from The TEFL Academy

Thanks for your feedback. Please accept our apologies, I have notified the academic team of the link issue you faced. Best of luck with your teaching career.

most welcoming and refreshing learning experience ever

For a person who longed to studying teaching, I give up years and just stuck to my 9 to 5 job for over 10 years. I never knowing there was such a wonderful platform called TEFL academy and for me I thought it would be so difficult to get behind books and classes, but TELF didn't make me feel for one second that I was out of place. The support they manner of training and resources made me feel smart and revived my mind to follow my dream.

I call it the ENGLISH experience which I feel ever person needs to know or learn from.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
the whole TEFL experience was a mind-blowing wake up call to see it looks difficult but once you in it to get hooked and the wonderful works. I call it the ENGLISH experience
Pros
  • timing
  • lots of resources
  • fun learning
What other participants should know
  • timing a person can take for granted
  • na

Excellent certification, support and overall experience!

I loved my TEFL journey with TTA. Most notable was the student and tutor support. Everyone was extremely quick to reply, patient and so helpful. The in-person 10 hour course was also very enjoyable. The teacher was friendly and it was usful in understanding how a foreign language classroom would be like.
Unfortunately since completing my TEFL level 5 combined course, I have yet to receive any remote employment offers as i hoped to eventually travel abroad. The remote job opportunities are rather dense and it has been a while since completing my TEFL yet nothing so far. Overall amazing platform, just hoped the job market wasn’t as saturated.

What would you improve about this program?
The post-certification job support :(
Pros
  • The student and assignment support
  • quality of content given throughout
  • time frame given
What other participants should know
  • Assignment submission limit
  • Remote job opportunities
Response from The TEFL Academy
