Informative and engaging

This program was easy to follow with an engaging website that was easy to navigate. I learned a lot about TEFL and how it differs from teaching English as a first language. The assignments are helpful in preparing for teaching in a classroom and online setting; a very useful skill to learn. The content was well organised and explained in a user friendly way. It is fairly comprehensive and guides you on how to teach ESL to a variety of learners. 10/10 recommended and definitely great value for the price.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
The ability to communicate with markers to thank them for their advice and also clarify points they made in their feedback.
Pros
  • Self-paced
  • Informative
  • Engaging

TEFL level 5 course

I wanted to change my career path and what better way to do that than to teach English as a foreign language and have the opportunity to travel.
I found the course very interesting, I learnt more about my native language that i dont remember learning at school.
The activities and test your knowledge exercises were challenging.
The assignments were a lot of fun and required a lot of research.
I really learnt a lot. Not only how to teach and plan English as a foreign language classes, but i have been using what i learnt to teach and train my new staff members.
It really is a very well layed.out and planned course.
Make sure you plan your study time well, at least 2 hours a day.
And most of all - Have fun.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would plan my time better to ensure i finish all activities on time with very little preasure on remaining time.
Pros
  • Learning a lot about English
  • Learnt how to better train my current staff
  • Enjoyed doing a lot of the exercises i found
Cons
  • Did not plan my time properly and put myself under undue pressure

Comprehensive & Practical: The TEFL Academy's Level 5 Online Course Review

The uniqueness of my experience with The TEFL Academy's Level 5 online course lied in its blend of theoretical depth and practical applicability. The comprehensive curriculum not only covered fundamental teaching aspects but also provided hands-on experience through assessed lesson content for various proficiency levels. Additionally, the focus on both face-to-face and online teaching methodologies was incredibly relevant and prepared me for diverse teaching environments. Future participants would appreciate the course's balance between theory and practicality, ensuring a robust understanding and immediate application of TEFL skills in real teaching scenarios.

Very easy to follow with many interactive components

I went into the course not expecting much, however the course opened my eyes to the world of language education. There were many polls and videos within the course. This made it an enjoyable and interactive course. With my TEFL level 3 certificate, many teaching possibilities have opened up to me. I currently have a few interviews lined up already. The process is easy and the possibilities are plentiful. I would highly suggest this course. I did the course with a friend, so it made it fun to do.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do as many interviews as possible and do your research before travelling.
Pros
  • Easy
  • Efficient
  • Informative
Cons
  • A bit long to complete
  • course extension was pricy
  • The assignments were lengthy

The TEFL for me

I started with my TEFL level 5 back in 2022 and did not realise how in depth and informative the course would be. I have had to extend my course a few times due to being extremely busy with completing a bachelors degree at the same time as the TEFL.
The course was more than I expected it would be. I found it to be informative, interactive and interesting.
Every interaction with The TEFL Academy has been positive. I have received amazing service for every query that I have sent.
The feedback that I received regarding my assignments, has been helpful, detailed and motivating.
Completing a course through The TEFL Academy was the best decision I could have made, and I will definitely encourage others to do the same.

Amazing Experience with TEFL Academy

It was my first time enrolling in this course and TEFL Academy met my expectations. o anyone wanting to pursue a teaching career they can definitely enrol here as their material was very easy to follow and very easy to understand. Always follow the instructions and the content of the material that they provide. Study as much as you despite the busy schedule. I did the online course so it was easy to work around my schedule. Although, there are many academies out there I had a great experience with this one.

A great insight into the world of tefl!

The whole course was truly a great insight into what tefl is all about and the type of tasks and learning exercises you would be doing as a teacher. I found the assignments challenging but it definitely provided me with a realistic idea of how to plan and prepare lessons and how to adapt them for different abilities. I found that when I needed support the tutors were really quick to respond and were helpful. The feedback from tutors on assignments was also personalised and constructive I really enjoyed the course and would recommend it to others!

Pros
  • Interesting
  • Challenging
  • Great support

Excellent experience

This course was well structured and had a very easy to follow format. It allowed me to complete the modules and assignments in my own time which was important to me as I could not commit to scheduled classes. The tutors were beyond helpful when I emailed to ask questions about the assignments and I was provided with a response within a couple of hours. The assignments were well explained with high quality examples provided to guide you through the work. The assignments were also graded in a timely manner which allowed me to move onto the next task swiftly without delay.
