High quality TEFL level 3 course, great value for money!

The TEFL level 3 course I completed at TTA was an excellent experience! The course is well structured, has high quality videos included and the learning material is straight forward. After each module you need to finish a test, but don't worry because due to the material being of high quality and well structured, you shouldn't have a problem at all! Just be sure to read the content well and be thorough ;) If you have any problems TTA has excellent support and will get back to you pretty soon. I had some queries about the delivery of my certificate and the answer I received was thorough and answered all my questions. I'm looking forward to the new opportunities this course has allowed me to pursue!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Grateful

A really good course to take, but don't for a minute think it is easy... assignments are tough and in my opinion should be to ensure quality teachers are the result. Can't wait to do further courses with TEFL to improve my abilities as a teacher!

I have always been in some sort of training aspect in life, a lecturer at University in design, then art teaching working closely with students. This course allowed me to gain a different perspective based on the fact that most of my teaching now will be online and I am so appreciative that they keep this in mind in the training. Thank you TEFL

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would most likely have written in for all the programs they offer if I had to do it again.
Pros
  • Online
  • Focus on online teaching is a huge plus
  • Teaching tips
What other participants should know
  • Assignment requirements although specific left me wandering what exactly I should do. But with a little open minded thinking I got it waxed.

100% recommend

If you want to teach English, and more importantly, teach English well, then The TEFL Academy is the place for you! They give insights into teaching English from years of experience and give you solid rubrics and resources to get your ‘toolkit’ started! Beyond that, they give you some key tips and video examples of different activities, and types of activities, that would be perfectly suited to the EFL classroom. Finally, they want you to pass. They give you everything you need and are available to answer questions and clear up anything you’re unsure about before submitting your assignments! I loved my TEFL course and can’t recommend it highly enough!

What was your funniest moment?
I loved seeing the videos of the teachers and how happy they were to be in the environment I was soon to be in!
Pros
  • Great teachers and mentors
  • Sets you up to travel and earn a living
  • Great personal development
What other participants should know
  • None!!!

The Tefl Life

Studying with TEFL Academy was an eye-opening journey that exceeded all my expectations. From day one, I was impressed by the depth of knowledge and expertise of the instructors. The course content was not only comprehensive but also presented in a way that was easy to understand and digest.

One of the highlights of my experience was the interactive nature of the course. I enjoyed participating in virtual classrooms and engaging in discussions with fellow students from around the world. It was enlightening to hear different perspectives and learn from each other's experiences.

Moreover, the practical aspect of the course was invaluable. Through teaching practice sessions and lesson plan assignments, I gained hands-on experience and developed confidence in my teaching abilities. The feedback provided by instructors was constructive and helped me identify areas for improvement.

What sets TEFL Academy apart is their commitment to ongoing support. Even after completing the course, I still have access to resources and assistance from their team. This level of dedication truly sets them apart from other online course providers.

In conclusion, studying with TEFL Academy was a transformative experience that has equipped me with the skills and confidence to pursue a career in teaching English as a foreign language. I highly recommend their courses to anyone looking to make a positive impact through teaching.

TEFL Academy is the best place for TEFL

I had a wonderful experience completing my certification with TEFL Academy. They were extremely helpful during the process of booking my teaching practical class and answered all my questions. The coursework was easy to follow and made me more excited for my future career. The instructor at the practice teaching class was amazing and had a great energy which made the class so much more enjoyable. The course made me realise I can achieve my goals whilst still having a stable job. I recommend TEFL Academy above any other.

TEFL level 3 course

I wanted to follow a course that I could complete entirely online, as it is easier to combine with full-time working. That way, I could choose for myself when I would dedicate time for the course.
A negative aspect of this online course, is that is doesn't actually teach you how to stand in front of a classroom and how to really interact with students, but it does give you the right mindset and idea of what it's like. The course wasn't difficult at all and the tests were open-book. I could review my notes any time.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I got quite stressed out about the assignments, as those were the only things that would define if I would qualify for the course or not. But the assignment wordings were very clear and I knew what was expected of me in order to pass.
Pros
  • Excellent customer service
  • Clear and plain website, course content and language
  • Quite easy-level and not to difficult to achieve
What other participants should know
  • Doesn't actually prepare you to stand in front of a classroom
  • No real hands-on experience

Great experience

After finishing the Level 3 TEFL certification, I feel much more confident to become an English teacher. I felt that the course was well rounded and interactive. The assignments allowed me to put what I learned into real world scenarios which helped me a ton. The teachers are also incredibly easy to follow and everything was marked very quickly. I would have benefited further with more application assignments, to further my confidence for the classroom. However overall I would recommend this program!

What would you improve about this program?
One thing I would improve about the program is adding more chances to apply the material, beyond quizzes. The assignments did a great job of this, but I still felt that I needed more situations in order to feel further prepared to get into the classroom.
Pros
  • Interactive
  • Easy to follow
  • Group discussions with peers
What other participants should know
  • Time limited (could be a pro)
  • Needs more real life assignments scenarios

Excellent

Excellent course to work at your own pace. I received support when needed. I learnt the structure of classes and how to aim content at the right age. If anyone is considering this course as entry level to being an English teacher. There is no practical part to the course so you don’t get experience teaching. It would be good to see some example classes in action to get more of an idea of how to interact with the students and how fast the hour class can go. Altogether a good course to take. Try it today!

Challenging but excellent

I found the course to be challenging, but I enjoyed the challenge and learned so much about how to approach a lesson and how to give a lesson that foreign students will understand.
The assessments after each chapter are very insightful and really do challenge what you learned in the chapter, the assignments prepare you for a actual lessons that you will be doing in your future teaching career.
On completing the course I was surprised to see how many job opportunities there are, online and the need for English teachers in different countries.
