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

  • 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.

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

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

TEFL- Level 5- Review

I had a great experience completing the Level 5 TEFL course. The course was well-structured, informative, and easy to follow. I really enjoyed learning about different teaching methods and how to create engaging lessons for students.

The course provided useful knowledge and practical skills that I feel confident I can apply in a real classroom. The flexibility of the course also made it easy to work through the material at my own pace.

Overall, I would definitely recommend the Level 5 TEFL course to anyone interested in teaching English. It was a valuable and worthwhile experience that has given me greater confidence as a future teacher.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My most nerve-wracking moment was starting my first assignment. I felt overwhelmed and unsure of where to begin. I overcame it by breaking the task down into smaller, manageable sections and focusing on one part at a time. This helped me feel more confident and made the assignment seem much less overwhelming. In the end, I was proud of myself for completing it and learned that taking things step by step makes challenging tasks much easier.
Pros
  • Travel opportunities
  • Flexible career options
  • Personal growth
What other participants should know
  • Unusual working hours
  • Income can vary
  • Can be challenging

Best value for money TEFL course

I was surprised that the TEFL Academy does not charge double or triple what they are currently charging for their course, which is of a very high standard. The platform is very professional, clean and easy to navigate - very well laid-out course content.
The content is relevant, flowing and broken down very well into concepts that meet you where you're at on your learning journey.
If you're considering a career or career change into TEFL, you're going to want to go with The TEFL Academy, you won't regret it!

What would you improve about this program?
I would probably include more example teaching videos, there's a lot to learn from them!
Pros
  • Value for money
  • High-quality course platform
  • Great and efficient support

Worth Every Step of the Journey 📚✨

I had a great experience completing my TEFL course. The course was informative, well-structured, and gave me a better understanding of how to teach English as a foreign language. I especially appreciated the practical activities and resources, which helped me feel more confident about teaching learners from different backgrounds.

The support and guidance throughout the course were also very helpful. Completing my TEFL qualification has given me the confidence and motivation to pursue opportunities in teaching English both online and abroad.

I’m grateful for the knowledge and experience I gained from this course, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in becoming a TEFL teacher. ❤️📚

Best experience with The TEFL Academy

From the support team to the learning materials, my experience with The TEFL Academy has been smooth and seamless. I have completed the main course and am currently completing the three bonus courses I received when I registered.

For the major assignments, the total marks awarded are not specified; it only shows whether a student has passed or failed. Some students, like me, prefer to see their actual marks, as this can be motivating and boost confidence. Other than that, my overall experience was outstanding.

My TEFL experience

I just completed my level 5 online TEFL course, I had the absolute best experience. The course was comprehensive, the marking fair, I felt constantly engaged and had an amazing experience overall. As someone who is half way with my teaching degree this is a wonderful way to make money abd gain experience while I finish up my studies. I plan to finish up my degree and travel next year. The TEFL Academy has given me the means and the confidence to do so and I'm very pleased with the result. I would highly recommend and my only regret is not doing this sooner.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I could do it all over again, the only thing I would change is starting the course sooner

Excellent Course

It was easy and fun to complete. Really was effortless. I think almost any person will benefit from this course. I am an educator hoping to use this certificate to help me to use in my retirement years. Thia is the beginning of my journey. I will love to travel and work at the same time so this will provide me the opportunity. The material was easy for me. However, it is user friendly. I have to look for jobs now, which is quite daunting, the program has provided me some links to search for jobs.

What would you improve about this program?
I would improve the layout to more pictures and voice recording for people who struggle with English
Pros
  • It was user friendly
What other participants should know
  • It needed pictures .
