Good

I thoroughly enjoyed doing the TEFL level 3 course. It is a comprehensive and affordable program with interesting study material. The assignments are challenging but I have learned a lot through it.The support I got throughout the course was excellent. I can’t wait to start my online teaching career. Being a University graduate with an honors degree, I was looking for a career change without having to move. TEFL gave me the opportunity to do just that. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who is looking for an opportunity to work online or abroad.

Pros
  • Well designed
  • Comprehensive content
  • Interesting content

Excellent online learning

The best online learning experience ever! Highly recommend. When I started the course I was excited to expand my teaching knowledge. Now, I have not regrets. This was the best decision I have made. I wish I had come across or considered doing an online course before, as this was an amazing experience and not as easy as I thought. I found the course engaging and thought provoking. Definitely considering g doing the level 5 course soon. If u looking for a TEFL course, please look at The TEFL Academy.

Pros
  • Individual pace
  • Easy course access
  • Great support

Tefl level 3

This course was very informative and comprehensive to me. Even though we didn't have so much interaction with the professors and thw other candidates was quite engaging with the small activities that you share your opinion on several matters. The tests and the assignments were accessible and easy to understand. The assignments needed some time to accomplish them since they were quite demanding. However, they helped me understand better the content and apply all the information that I learned suring the course.

Pros
  • Comprehensive
  • Accessible
  • Informative
What other participants should know
  • Not so engaging
  • Not interactive with others

The workload was enough for me

I really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The workload was just enough, so I could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel overloaded and rushed. Overall, I really like this class because the student support (I love the fact that they respond quickly), all assignments and tests are straight forward, they were given with a substantial amount of time to do them. Looking forwarding to embark on a new journey. Thank you for a great semester TEFL ACADEMY.

Pros
  • Excellent adaptability combined with convenience.
  • Improved concentration.
  • student support with exceptional abilities.
What other participants should know
  • High chances of distraction.
  • Rigid learning schedules and inconvenience.
  • Inconvenient doubt resolution.

Great experience

Working towards my certificate with TEFL has been a pleasure , whenever I didn’t understand what to do in assignments or quizzes I created a ticket and got a response within a few hours from a tutor helping me and asking questions. 10/10 customer service and reviews on my assignments were straight to the point and very helpful thus I could complete all my assignments under the 3 chances given for each assignment. I am having a lot of fun applying to jobs and the TEFL website is so helpful and they have given templates on how to create your cv and cover letter

Pros
  • Easily accessible
  • Helpful customer services
  • Challenging assignments and work
What other participants should know
  • Little expensive for course
  • Can access whenever

Exciting opportunity!

I started my TEFL journey with no online teaching experience, I felt quite overwhelmed but also excited. Completing the units and assessment were made so much easier because of the wonderful manner the units are structured. I found the support to be very helpful and prompt and the webinars were a great help especially with the assessment. I am currently applying for online positions and am planning to complete my Level 5 if all goes well. I am very happy that I took on on this challenge and that TEFL with all the resources made it possible for me to complete.
Thank you TEFL!

Pros
  • Website structure
  • Support
  • Webinars
What other participants should know
  • Focus more on TPR for online course

Thorough and Convenient Language Course

This was my first formal exposure to TEFL although I'm a former English language and grammar teacher in the U.S. (I've only worked with native English speaking students thus far). I was pleasantly surprised at the in-depth and thorough level of these TEFL lessons to include sentence structure, grammar, pronunciations, tenses, and attention given to important components such as colloquialisms.
The portion of the course that required the creation of lesson plans for a grade was challenging enough to demand/ensure understanding and I used the opportunity to create (and have evaluated!) lessons I will actually use in future classes with students learning English.
I loved that I was able to complete this course online at my own pace and I could take my time doing it...I even took a little too much time during the holidays so I took advantage of the extra time option.

Pros
  • Thorough lessons
  • Conveniently online
  • Tech and admin support is timely
What other participants should know
  • Not the cheapest option (but this price was worth it!)
  • Time constraints (although there's an option to extend)
  • Time difference of tech and admin support

Helpful start to ESOL teaching

Since completing the course I have been offered a job in Thailand. But have decided to start tutoring with my partner. We chose to do the 120 hour course to open opportunities while we travel. I managed this very easily on evenings and weekends when working full time. The website is easy to follow and it guides you through the whole course. The feedback given by markers is effective and useful. This is not my first course in teaching but the English side of teaching was what I really needed. This was only a small section of the course but for someone who doesn't teach this course is a great introduction.

Pros
  • Flexible
  • Easy to follow
  • Good feedback
What other participants should know
  • Not as much English teaching units
  • Cant do the second assignment while 1 is being marked

Genuine content worth learning!

I was quite astounded when first starting the Level 5 TEFL course by how extremely relative their content is in relation to educational strategies and techniques used in the classroom. I studied Education Psychology at university and the content was very similar to that of the course. The TEFL Academy provides all the necessary tools to become a great English teacher, such as focusing on understanding English Grammar and, more importantly, teaching pronunciation and new vocabulary to non-native English-speaking students of all ages.

Pros
  • Relative Content
  • Addresses specific key aspects in teaching English as a foreign language
  • Engaging and challenging
