Program Reviews

I got my 5 level TEFL Certification nearly a month ago, I chose TEFL Academy to get more chance in finding a job as an English teacher in my Country (Italy).

It was a great path, always challenging and supporting by TEFL tutors who gave me assistance anytime.
I have been teaching English as a foreign language in my Country, Italy, for 25 years... but never expected to attend this type of course. And then I did it!

I hope this certification may help and get more job opportunities, so that I can teach other students abroad, not just Italians.

Thanks TEFL Academy... my journey with you was extremely positive!

The content is properly structured and prepares one for TEFL, apart from giving a physical class. The assignments are marked promptly as well, ensuring that no time is wasted to progress to the next work. We are also provided with a decent amount of freedom when attempting each assignment apart from the main expectations. Each chapter is correctly outlined and a lot of extra material is provided to further one's understanding on each topic. Although it was never necessary for me, there are multiple ways in which to get support if needed.

I enjoyed the course. I have received detailed feedback on all assignments. Clear instructions for every assignment. There are a lot of references for you to use and also extra links to do a more in depth research if you'd like. Although this is a online course, it is very interactive! I have learned so many teaching techniques! Doing this course truly is a very formidable experience and I enjoyed every step. Now I have to start looking for work, which as I understand they also assist with. Now I am a certified teacher! Yay

I am incredibly thankful for completing the TEFL Academy Level 5 course — a journey that truly changed my life forever.

The past 10 months were not easy. I faced personal hardships, relocated to a new city, and began my TEFL studies during one of the most difficult seasons of my life. Starting the course felt overwhelming at times, and I am deeply grateful to The TEFL Academy for granting me an extension during my personal challenges. That support made a meaningful difference.

When I first enrolled, I was in a very low place emotionally, but the Level 5 course gave me something I desperately needed — purpose. There were long days, sleepless nights, and moments where I questioned why I was pushing myself so hard. I sacrificed social time and comfort, and more than once I felt like giving up. But I didn’t.

I kept reminding myself why I started: my passion for different cultures, my love for working with young learners, and my belief in the next generation that will shape our world. That purpose kept me focused and moving forward.

To anyone who feels like quitting — remember why you started in the first place. TEFL opens doors to endless opportunities and personal growth. Today, I am proud, grateful, and excited to begin my journey as an English teacher, helping others learn and connect across cultures.

Stepping out of your comfort zone is never easy, but it is always worth it.

TEFL Academy was very helpful through my journey as a student and they making sure that you being helped on your studies so that's why they are having Support tutoring and that really helped me a lot. The Assignment and those Activities were easier because the were tutors to guide you through your work. I really appreciate and recommend TEFL Academy to someone who is interested to teach online or Abroad. TEFL must advertise on Tv podcasts and also on bill boards because most people would love to hear about TEFL.

I highly recommend the TEFL Academy. I have just completed the Level 5 online TEFL course with them. The course was very comprehensive and easy to follow. The TEFL Academy has made it possible for me to achieve my passion and dream of becoming an Teacher, whether it will be in a classroom or online. I love to engage with people and children of all ages. It will be really exciting to learn about different culture backgrounds around the world. I am ready to have real-life conversations with my students I am hoping that in the future I will have the courage to apply to travel abroad. I am excited to see where my journey leads me.

The biggest thing I can say about this TEFL course is simple: take it. If you are thinking about doing it but feel unsure, my advice is to just go for it. You really won’t regret it. This course opens so many new opportunities and gives you skills that can be useful in many different situations. Looking back, I am very glad that I decided to take it.

Before starting the course, I didn’t fully realise how much there is to learn about teaching English. I thought it would mainly focus on grammar and vocabulary, but it actually goes much deeper than that. The course teaches you how to explain language clearly, how to structure lessons, and how to help students understand concepts that might seem simple to native speakers but can be difficult for learners. It also shows you practical strategies for managing a classroom and keeping students engaged.

One of the most valuable parts of the course is how practical it is. Instead of just giving theory, it provides real teaching techniques that you can actually use. For example, you learn how to plan lessons step by step, how to introduce new language, and how to create activities that help students practise speaking and listening. These are skills that make a huge difference when you are teaching, because they help you feel more confident and organised.

Another great aspect of the TEFL course is the flexibility it offers. Once you have the qualification, it opens doors to many different opportunities. You can teach English online, travel and teach in other countries, or even use the skills in tutoring or education-related fields. English is spoken all over the world, so there is always demand for people who can teach it well. Having a TEFL qualification gives you an advantage and shows that you have the training needed to help learners succeed.

The course also helped me develop skills that go beyond teaching. Communication, organisation, and patience are all important parts of being a good teacher, and these are skills that are valuable in many careers. Through the course, I learned how to explain ideas more clearly and how to think about learning from the student’s perspective. That experience has been very helpful and has improved my confidence when working with others.

Overall, taking this TEFL course was definitely worth it. It was informative, practical, and rewarding. If you are considering teaching English or simply want to gain new skills, I would strongly recommend it. The knowledge you gain and the opportunities it creates make it a great investment.

So my biggest advice is simple: take the course. Don’t hesitate too much or doubt yourself. It can open many doors and give you experiences you might not have expected. For me, it was a very positive experience, and I’m really glad I decided to do it.

Completing the Level 5 TEFL course was a truly inspiring and fulfilling experience. The modules were clear, practical and genuinely enjoyable to work through. I loved how the course blended solid theory with real - world application, making everything feel relevant and immediately useful. The support throughout was excellent and I always felt encouraged to keep going. The admin support and tutor support were amazing. One of the highlights for me, was the practical classroom course in Cape Town. It brought everything to life, in such a meaningful way and the tutor was incredibly warm, supportive and encouraging. This qualification has strengthened my teaching journey and I’m genuinely excited for what comes next. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent quality, motivating TEFL course.

I wanted to broaden my skill set and have more options in terms of career choice. To achieve this, I decided to complete a TEFL course. The TEFL Academy is internationally recognised and accredited making them the right choice. The courses are concise, informative and well-presented, as well as logically building on one another, making it easy to follow and build one’s knowledge of the topic been discussed. The ability to monitor one’s progress makes it easy to plan ahead and organise one’s time while also giving one a sense of achievement when reaching a certain level. The tests and assessments were engaging and used critical thinking forcing you to be alert. The tutor and other support were always prompt, friendly, professional and incredibly helpful. I would recommend the TEFL Academy to anyone. The YouTube channel is also extremely useful with videos been uploaded on a weekly basis to help augment your knowledge of TEFL.

I really enjoyed the flexibility of the program. It is perfect if you want to have a base before getting stuck in to something more serious.

I found that the information and videos offered as source material were suitable and interesting and gave me ideas for future lessons.

Job placement could be an opportunity for the program in a second step.

I would have enjoyed a face to face meeting at one point but it was also suitable for someone like me who prefers online flexibility.

I will definitely be taking other courses from this provider.
