Great school

I really liked the tefl academy since it is online and it allows to take the classes at your own pace. I also think that the fact that it was fully online never caused any problem, the lessons are well organized and it's easy to follow the structure of the website.
having my certificate will allow me to travel and have the freedom i've always wanted in a job. It is great for travellers and people who prefer being autonomous whenit comes to their lifestyle and work
I overall really enjoyed my experience!

Pros
  • the freedom
  • the structure

TTA (The TEFL Academy) ALL THE WAY!

Now this was a game changer. I have been looking to approach digital nomadic lifestyle, and add a second income stream. The TEFL Academy has excellent rates across its module offering. I chose Level 168 Hours Combined which has 10 hours of Practical Classroom experience. It really makes you attractive to future employers. I found the content engaging and challenging. It really has a way of keeping you productive, the little quizzes for fun keep you learning. I also found the markers to be very thourough and gave excellent constructive feedback. Support tickets are usually handled within 24 hours.

Pros
  • Cost-Effective
  • Widely recognized accreditation
  • Responsive Tutor Feedback on Assignments
What other participants should know
  • Support tickets can take a little long to resolve
  • Assignment Questions are very open ended
  • You lose access to the portal

Brilliant experience

I had a great experience. It’s extremely flexible so if you need more time you can purchase extensions. When I submitted my assessments the turn around time was less than a week to hear back about each assessment so very quick. Support was good when I needed it I managed to get in touch with advisers. It is challenging and takes a good amount of work to pass it which just shows how good the qualification is. I would recommend this to a friend. It is expensive compared to other providers but in my opinion you get what you pay for. It is worth it.

Pros
  • Good support
  • Good material
  • Extensions available
What other participants should know
  • Expensive but you get what you pay for
  • Assessments were more work than I expected

Online TEFL Course, Level 3 Certificate (120hrs)

I started my TEFL journey to have a change of career doing something more flexible than being stuck in a role in the corporate world. The online site is user friendly and easy to navigate. The course was well set out and easy to follow and work at your own pace. Assignments are marked promptly and feedback given by the markers was constructive. A quiz at the end of each module was helpful to confirm learning and understanding. Professional PDF certificate received quickly after course completion.

Pros
  • Support
  • Work at your own pace

The TEFL Academy Level 3 Certificate Review

My experience with The TEFL Academy was simply excellent! I had no hassles with service, website problems or issues understanding and passing the content whatsoever. My assignments, emails and all communications with The TEFL Academy were marked and answered very quickly. The content in the Level 3 Certificate contains vital skills and knowledge that every TEFL teacher needs to have a successful teaching career in ESL. I am incredibly happy with my achievement and that I can now start my life as a teacher!

Pros
  • Practicality

The Tefl Course is an excellent way of bonding with children if you love teaching and spreading knowledge. My experience with Tefl was good in the beginning. The assignments require your full potential. The tutors were very helpful and were of great assistance to me throughout the assignments. I will definitely recommend the Tefl Course. The course is thorough, and it also taught me to be committed to my work. The course requires you to be totally focused and give your best effort. I will recommend Tefl to anyone.

Pros
  • It is a fun course
  • It is easy to understand
  • The course is very informative
What other participants should know
  • The time limit is too short
  • The assignments are long
  • The waiting period for the assignments are long

TEFL level 3 course

The course was well planned out and easy to follow online and at your own pace. There are quizes at the end of each topic to check you have completed the section and retained the information.

Topics on the history of TEFL will not help us teach.. I expected more information on how to teach the english language / understanding the english language and how it is made.. I feel this could be useful. Learning some english rules, as native english speakers we know that things are right, but we dont always know why...

Pros
  • Online so can be done anywhere
  • You can work at your own pace
What other participants should know
  • Topics on the history of TEFL will not help us teach, maybe more teaching on how to teach the english language could be useful.

Overall a great experience!

The course is challenging and full of useful information. The course is regularly updated to provide up-to-date information about teaching trends and industry standards. Every time I reached out for help, I was promptly answered. The assignments are quite challenging but the support system in place to help students succeed is wonderful. I would recommend this course to those interested in obtaining a certification. With this level of the course, you are required to attend a classroom style training; the instructor for my session was very knowledgeable and had quite a bit of experience in the field. She was able to offer a great amount of useful advice for in the classroom and when searching for a teaching position.

TEFL L5 course

The TEFL L5 course was a great course to do. I learnt many things as an educator. Being in education for 9 years and leaving, and now getting back can be a bit overwhelming, but TEFL really helped me get back to what I know. For non educators you get great tips and for those already experienced educators you get really great ideas and fun ways to teach students. I wish I had done this course much earlier but it is never too late to get back what you lost. Thank you TTA for a wonderful experience.

Pros
  • Excellent course
What other participants should know
  • Should be more grammar lesson in the course for non educators
