Really good course

This course is really good, I don’t have anything to complain about. The tests are also useful and the support is always here when I needed.
I could finish this course in just few months, and I feel I learnt new things (even after an master of didactic of languages)
With this course you also can organize your work how you want, which is very convenient when you are a worker or student of another course at the same time
Thank you TheTEFL Academy for this course and the reviews on exams

Great experience

Doing this TEFL course was such a great way for me to grow in my teaching career. It really did challenge me but in a good way - I was able to overcome something I thought was to hard for me. Doing this course really did teach me the values of staying consistent and staying focused! I was able to get help when ever I needed it, and the tutor was so kind when guiding me on my assignments! Over all I am so happy for taking this journey with TEFL as it helped me grow in many aspects of myself. I would recommend this course to anyone who asks me about it.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My most nerve racking moment was doing my last assignment, I felt stuck when doing and though I was not able to finish it as I didn’t believe in myself, it was when I contacted the tutor who was so kind and encouraging when helping me with my assignment that at the end I managed to do it and pass.

Worth the money and the effort!

This course gave me the tools I needed in order to develop upon the teaching skills I may have already had.
The support I received, especially the feedback given on assignments, was detailed and allowed for me to self-reflect and realise where I needed to improve.
The course had multiple segments, focusing on both face-to-face classroom learning and online learning, allowing for one to go forward with confidence in either futures.
I found this course insightful and it allowed for me to feel confident going forward into an online teaching career.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I completed this course whilst travelling south east asia and the one piece of advice I can give you is to persevere. At one point I was lacking motivation due to personal reasons but now that I persevered and have completed this course, I can honestly say that it was not a mistake and I feel very confident in my future now.

Career changing experience!

The TEFL level 3 course was amazing! It was online which made it flexible and convenient and I learnt so many valuable skills for teaching English abroad! They have really good support services and all the markers and teachers you interact with are super helpful and nice! I would definitely recommend this Level 3 TEFL course to anyone who is travelling overseas as it makes it so much easier to get a job. This course gives you so many resources to help you do your best in teaching overseas so it’s an opportunity you can’t miss!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve wracking moment for me was the second (and last) assessment. I got through it through taking deep breaths and giving myself sufficient time to complete it. Also going back through the content you have learnt while completing the assignments is very helpful.
Pros
  • Information formatted really well
  • Interactive activities, quizzes, videos and articles
  • Great assessment feedback
What other participants should know
  • You don’t see teachers face to face
  • Self-directed learning can be hard if you’re not used to it.

Online learning is the future

As someone with previous teaching and lecturing experience, along with 4 degrees, I was unsure whether or not a I would enjoy doing the TEFL course. It was a joy and such an exciting experience. Everything from the platform to the learning materials has been well thought out. I was able to work and study at the same time, which is something that many working adults struggle with. TEFL truly made it a worthwhile experience and I'll recommend it to anyone who wants to embark on their teaching journey.

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps they could add more videos to support some of the materials. I found the videos to be very engaging
Pros
  • User friendly
  • Ease of access at all times
  • The quality of the learning materials
What other participants should know
  • Time management is a must if you don't know how to manage your time

Transformative Teaching

Enrolling in the TEFL Academy Level 3 course proved to be a pivotal moment in my journey towards becoming an English teacher abroad. The course experience was nothing short of transformative, equipping me with the necessary tools and knowledge to excel in the field.

Throughout the program, I found the curriculum to be both comprehensive and meticulously structured. Covering a diverse array of topics ranging from lesson planning to language analysis, each module built upon the last, fostering a deep understanding of English language teaching principles.

The assignments were thought-provoking and challenging, encouraging me to think innovatively about my teaching methodologies.

Additionally, the support provided by the TEFL Academy team was exceptional. Whether it was the insightful feedback from dedicated tutors or the camaraderie within the online community, I always felt encouraged and supported throughout my journey.

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
