TEFL 120 hour

I believe this TEFL course was great value for money! It was a very in-depth online course that covered everything a potential English teacher could need to know. Additionally, the assessments were specific to the responsibilities and duties of a teacher, which helped me feel prepared for my teaching career. I was definitely surprised at the quality, given that it’s an online diploma!
I chose The TEFL Academy because of its pricing – it was one of the cheaper options whilst still seeming reasonable enough for a Qualified certified course. I’m so grateful for the chance to pay off the course. I was also able to fit this study around my 9-5 job. Even so, this certificate certainly required a fair bit of effort over the weeks I completed it!

All in all, I would recommend this course due to its cost, the quality of its content and the flexibility regarding your workload.

Pros
  • Improving on my own English speaking
  • learning new teaching skills i had not had before

Excellent experience

It was a great opportunity to learn and improve as a teacher. The course is divided in a way easy to follow and filled with great practices and tips to utilize in class.
The videos and resources provided were amazing and showed real practices and activities in class, which can be very helpful in the future.
Having all those websites to help create materials for classes is really helpful.
The assignments were a bit too demanding and I couldn't know what remarks I had for my assignments when getting a Merit. Therefore, I couldn't get a better grade in my next assignment.

What would you improve about this program?
The assignments need to be less demanding as sometimes you need to be creative and spontaneous in class
Pros
  • A lot of practices and tips
  • Great videos and resources
Cons
  • Assignments taking too long
  • Not having remarks when getting a Merit to improve

TEFL from a student's perspective

The TEFL course was unlike anything I've pursued before. I was given the material and could work through it at my own pace on my own time, which made it easy for me to manage whilst doing my undergraduate in psychology. Everyone is given six months to complete the course but if you dedicate yourself to it, it can easily be done in 2. I Highly recommend any person fresh out of high school or even people who have at least 1 hour of free time a day to do this course. The entire course is completed online and everything is self-taught.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I started my assignments only after completing all the course material, and they were taking longer than I expected. I was worried that I would not be able to finish in time but luckily the student support assured me that I still had an extra month left. I'm very grateful for the active student support service.
Pros
  • All materials and extra readings are provided and are easily accessible.
  • Assignments are easy to understand; the instructions are detailed and clear.
  • Each unit has abundant activities to make sure you understand through practice and not only through theory.
Cons
  • Not every student can learn through a self-teaching system
  • Unit materials have to be accessed online and can not be downloaded for offline access.

I would definitely recommend them.

The TEFL Academy Rocks!

I wasn’t really sure if teaching English was going to be for me. I had all the prerequisites (other than the TEFL certificate) and so decided to give it a shot.

I found myself gaining confidence from the material within the course due to the many different ways in which the information is presented. I was learning useful information that I could really see helping me in the classroom. The little tests at the end of each module prepare you for the exam at the end, and I gained so much insight from going through the process.

Fully recommended.
