Daunting experience in learning the language yet fulfilling enough to learn something new

I felt intimidated at first as a native speaker who's mother tongue is the language. Gained a lot after ten years in a classroom and still lesson planning with students of various backgrounds was challenging.

The LMS especially the style it was written in gave me an easy feeling. It felt I was alone without any interaction or prompting. My background is also instructional design. Still I could get help when needed especially on completion of the last assignments that were timely.

Overall it was a great experience to learn with The TEFL Academy. Listen to the voices of the wind, where it blows. Who knows, I never Imagined teaching English as a career, it is one of the most sought after professions. I did it mainly to enhance my teaching qualification and of course the language is the lingua franca wherever we go.

I enjoyed the course especially because it was well orchestrated. Motivating and surely for a full online delivery. Bravo!

Pros
  • Good content and resources
  • Experience in the field
  • Manageable at a self-pace.
What other participants should know
  • Time limit and assignment period
  • Outsourced materials
  • Self study without collaboration

Rating my TEFL experience

Overall, this course was good and definitely worth the money. It is easy to navigate and find your way around the website. Having it online makes it a lot easier as you are then able to do your assignments and tests when you get the chance and it is ultimately up to you. Assignments can be challenging but I have definitely had to do worse, so it is manageable. One thing I love is travelling, and the TEFL Academy has allowed me to do just that while I work. I mostly look forward to being able to travel wherever I want to and make money while I am doing that, while teaching (preferably children) which is another thing that I love.

Pros
  • the experience to learn something new
  • you are given multiple opportunities to do better
  • it is so easy to get a job anywhere with the help of the TEFL academy once you have completed your course
What other participants should know
  • it is a bit difficult to manage your time if you have other things to do which take priority
  • some of the assignments may seem to be a bit challenging

My great experience with Level 5 Online TEFL course from the TEFL Academy

Last year I decided to upgrade my teaching skills by getting a TEFL Certificate. I was carefully choosing the school to study with and after checking the website I settled with the TEFL Academy. I never regretted that!
The material is clearly structured, even if you're a complete beginner, you won't get lost along the way, since all the lessons are designed in order to guide you through the process smoothly. On the other hand, experienced teachers, like myself, can hugely benefit as well, since the course provides you with a lot of fresh ideas and tools.
The team was very supportive along the way and replied to the messages promptly. And although I'm not a native speaker, it was simple enough for me to study all the material and successfully pass the assignments. So, I can definitely recommend this course for anyone interested in developing their skillset, broadening their teaching toolbox and beginning or continuing their teaching career.
Thanks a lot for this experience!

Pros
  • Interactive platform
  • Plenty of additional sources of information
  • Clear material even for non-native speakers
What other participants should know
  • You can't see the next unit or assignment until you finish the previous one

TEFL

Hey there! If you're considering taking a TEFL course, I highly recommend it. As someone who has completed one myself, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. Not only do you learn valuable teaching skills and techniques, but you also get the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture if you choose to teach abroad.

There are a variety of TEFL courses available, so make sure to do your research and find one that fits your needs and goals. Some courses are online and self-paced, while others are in-person and involve classroom observation and teaching practice. Consider your learning style and preferences when making your decision.

In addition to the training and experience you gain from a TEFL course, having a TEFL certification can also make you a more competitive job candidate. Many schools and organizations require or prefer candidates with TEFL certification, so it can open up more opportunities for you.

Overall, if you're interested in teaching or traveling (or both!), I highly recommend taking a TEFL course. It's a rewarding experience that can lead to many exciting possibilities. Go for it!

Pros
  • Able to move to a country you have dreamed to go, and not just earn a living but join a community
What other participants should know
  • It is a tough course. I have a masters degree in medical Anthropology, and a native English speaker, so I assumed I was educated enough, however, I had to work hard.
  • The staff were so helpful. They got back to me, seemingly, without minutes, to lend support

Big up TEFL!

It was a fantastic experience! Super helpful support and always friendly. The 10 hour in person course was a highlight for me. Great guidance and a very fun and effective learning environment. If you get Jennifer Hall as your instructor, then I am very happy for you! Thank you to the TEFL team for making me as ready as I could possibly be for my future as an English teacher! I would recommend this course to anyone who loves teaching / the idea of teaching as this will open up doors of opportunity 10 - fold!

Pros
  • Interactive
  • Fun
  • Effective
What other participants should know
  • It takes time
  • If you are studying English, may have a lot of redundant information.
  • It is a bit costly.

Great TEFL experience!

The TEFL Academy is a wonderful learning institution. The learning content is interesting and engaging. The support staff are very quick with their responses and do their best to help in any way you may need. Assignments were graded and returned very quickly.

Assignments are challenging and require a lot of research. That is because of the high accreditation of the course. I have really learnt a lot by completing this course. Can't wait to see all the doors of opportunity that will be opened to me!

Pros
  • Support and quick feedback
  • Very fast assignment results
  • Highly accreditied course

My experience with The TEFL Academy was positive. All the learning materials were provided in a easy formatted course book and you always had access to TEFL Educator Videos in each unit to help you understand. The tutor support is always helpful when you are stuck and can’t seem to understand something. The TEFL Academy supplied loads of extra reading link to help you prepare for your assignments and make it easier for you to understand and complete your course. I would Highly recommend The TEFL Academy. 10/10

My time/Experience with TEFL Academy

My experience at the TEFL Academy was great because of their top-notch training, staff and resources. They provided detailed and up-to-date information on teaching English as a foreign language that I could immediately use in the classroom. Additionally, their online platform was easy to navigate and learn through, allowing for convenient learning at my own pace. The instructors did a great job of providing helpful feedback and guidance throughout the course so I could feel confident in my teaching skills. They also offered a unique employment support program that helped find potential teaching positions in my area. This made the job hunting process less stressful and gave me the resources and confidence needed to land a teaching job. The staff was always available to help answer any questions and provide needed guidance. The resources, teaching techniques and job support make the TEFL Academy one of the top TEFL courses around and it has made my experience amazing. They are doing an outstanding job providing quality education as well as job preparation and support.

Pros
  • Flexibility
  • Quality

Level 5 Online Diploma TTA TEFL Academy

I enrolled for the 120 online diploma in June 2023. I was initially unsure as to which service provider to use in order to study for my online level 5 diploma. After a lot of research I decided to study the TEFL course offered by the TTA TEFL Academy. As I am a working teacher I needed to do a course at my own pace and my own time. TTA TEFL Academy offers you up to six months to complete the course.
Although I am a native English speaker, I found the course to be quite intellectually engaging. I had initially thought that it would be a walk in the park, but It required a lot of hard work and discipline to juggle with the demands of my full time teaching job and family commitments.
The assessments and content were of high quality and focused on all aspects that one could expect in a real life classroom or online situation.
The TEFL Academy is not a fly by night service provider like many service providers who are currently jumping on the TEFL bandwagon. They are legit and accredited institute.

I have finally completed and passed the course. I am now in the process of seeking employment either in a foreign country or online,
Kudos to all at the TTA TEFL Academy, The support staff were available at all times and responded timeously to any queries.

Pros
  • Relevant content
  • Challenging assessments
  • Excellent support

  • Navigation could improve
