An excellent path.

Interesting from the start, the course cleverly focused on the teaching necessary to keep the student's attention alive and stimulate participation, even the shyest ones. The three assignments are structured in such a way as to put the future teacher to the test immediately by preparing real lessons. They were also corrected and evaluated promptly, thus encouraging rapid progress. The amount of additional material provided to delve deeper into the various topics covered is comprehensive and of good quality.

Pros
  • Easy to follow.
  • Well structured.
  • Interesting learning adventure.
What other participants should know
  • There should be more interaction between learners

A teacher's toolbox

An excellent course for aspiring English language teachers and those with previous experience, but who would like a more advanced qualifications. The course was full of helpful tools for lesson preparation and classroom management. Excellent value for money!
The assessments were thorough and challenging, but felt very practical. I'm also very grateful for the careful and timely feedback from the instructors. I have already applied much of what I have learned from the program to my teaching in the real world with great success. I highly recommend this course.

Pros
  • Great feedback
  • Timely assessment
  • Thorough curriculum

Incredible, challenging and motivating course

I really enjoyed taking the Level 3 course. It was challenging in terms of the content I was exposed to. Some modules I had to take my time to capture all the knowledge. Everything was there and nothing was left for the student to figure out on their own. I feel I got the tools I needed, the resources and the guidance throughout. The assignments were challenging but the feedback was great. I am looking forward to putting this into practice and excited to teach students! I feel I have gained the confidence as well to do this.

Pros
  • Easy to follow
  • Challenging content
  • Extensive assignments
What other participants should know
  • Modules can be expanded for certain topics
  • A lot of British content
  • Website could be easier to navigate

TEFL level 3 with The Tefl Academy

I discovered this course to be exceptionally enriching, striking a perfect balance between providing the necessary challenge for becoming a confident ESL teacher and offering valuable flexibility for self-paced learning. While the intensity of the experience was rewarding, I would have greatly appreciated concise one-page summaries for each unit, which would have served as a helpful reference for retaining and consolidating key information.
Overall, I would highly recommend this course. It is a reliable source of information with enough challenge to make you feel like you really learned something.

Pros
  • Could work at my own pace
  • Interactive videos
  • Great quizzes
What other participants should know
  • The website could be easier to use
  • Would love more info on what to expect practically as an ESL teacher
  • Would have loved a summary of each unit (one-pager) to refer to

TEFL Level 3

Incredible experience completing my TEFL level 3 course through The TEFL Academy. All course work is provided on a very user friendly student portal and the step-by-step basis makes it incredibly easy and motivating to work through each module. The support from the tutors/ admin was incredible and if I had any queries, they were answered in under 24 hours each time. The job page platform is also very useful and you are able to apply directly off of the TTA website uploading the documents you are provided with at the end. Highly recommend the TTA!

Pros
  • User friendly
  • Great support
  • Assistance with job seeking

Great Course

The course is very well structured and has a lot of content. The course is structured in such a way that one is able to read and understand, and contextualise without the need for a tutor/teacher/lecturer. The course is set up in such a way that it prepares the prospective English teacher for both online and face to face English teaching. With regards to the assignment aspect of the course, the questions are well formulated and push one to conduct further research on a specific topic or teaching techniques, which has a positive effect of enhancing the learning experience. The webpage is easy to navigate as the course is divided into 9 (nine) units. upon completion of the each unit, the candidate is tested with a quiz. This is helpful as it ensures that as the candidate has read and understood the unit.

Pros
  • well structured
  • informative
  • easy to follow
What other participants should know
  • none I could find

TEFL ACADEMY = DO IT!

The level 5 course that I did was most definitely a very engaging and informative one. There is so much to be learned throughout the course as it is very thorough and gave me a whole new perspective on teaching in different cultures as well as how to interact with students. I feel so much more confident in my teaching skills after completing this course and I can say the same for you! The course itself was challenging but easy to navigate and I received very quick & friendly online support when I had questions or needed assistance. The TEFL Academy is definitely worth your time!

Pros
  • helpful support
  • informative
  • certification
