The TEFL Academy Reviews

I definitely think that all English teachers should do a Level 5 TEFL course. The skills you’re taught are amazing, the assignment feedback in-depth and helpful and overall the course is extremely interesting. You are also provided with great guidelines especially how to set up a lesson plan. Also, you are given extra resources as recommended by TEFL. The units cover a wide variety of work. As a native English speaker I discovered things I never knew and have never experienced in my school days!

This course was entirely online which was fantastic for me as it allowed me to combine the studying with my full time job. As I am a teacher the classroom practice wasn't important since I do this all day every day, I know there are options for the course to be taken in a format that does allow this though.

The content was challenging and certainly made me think hard about the use of English grammar which I hadn't studied for a long time! Many of the teaching tips and elements of the course are things I recognise from my professional career and the range of resources on offer in the course are certainly appropriate in my expereince.

A key element in my decision process about picking TTA over other providers is the fact that the qualification is OFQUAL accredited. Havng worked in the UK all my career I know this is an importnat factor here, I am confident it will be overseas too.

Overall I am happy to recommend.

The TEFL Level 5 course was very thorough and well structured. The sequencing of the units was well planned. The content covered in the course was well thought out and the examples given in each unit were sensible. At the end of each unit was additional resources which were extremely useful for students and these would certainly come in handy for students to use in their TEFL journey. The assignments at the end of unit 5,7 and 10 were pitched at the right level and students would be able to apply the new knowledge acquired to ensure they are able to answer them. I would definitely recommend this course for students that want a course that sets them apart from the rest when it comes to their TEFL career.

The TEFL Academy has been an amazing site to complete my TEFL certification. The course content was very easy to follow, and both unit content and videos helped me understand fully what I was being presented and a lot of external sources This course was very flexible and gave me enough time to complete it while also working full-time. The TEFL Academy offered a lot of support for the course as well as tutor support for any questions regarding content or assignment information. I was glad I completed my certification here as I was not sure if all the content would help me feel prepared for an actual teaching job. I am content to say that I have secured a job to work abroad.

Before completing the programme I wasn't sure how many opportunity there are out there for you once you are TEFL qualified I feel that it is worth getting as it is a good way for you to travel the world and earn money whilst doing it. By doing this it has given me a chance to work and live in Spain. I have fallen in love with the life style and culture here. I would highly recommend anyone who has the travel bug to go out and get this qualification as it will open so many doors for you. I enjoyed being able to study online as it meant I could do any time i had free.

I am very satisfied with the Online TEFL Course, Level 5 Diploma. The course content is very informative, it's well laid out and easy to follow independently without assistance. I work full-time and the 6-months access to the online campus was sufficient (I advise you to have a studying schedule though, so as to not lose track of time). The assignments were challenging but the tutors' webinars and feedback are super helpful. I have to admit that I had lots of misconceptions about the teaching and learning process, really glad I decided to take the course, I definitely learned a lot. Overall, I would definitely recommend the TEFL academy to anyone who is interested in teaching English as a foreign language.

This course was very flexible and incredibly in depth. It’s divided into 10 sections each with an end of module test that can be repeated and 3 assignments that must be completed. The assignments were much bigger than I had anticipated so I would advise on not leaving these to the end like I did. The material was thorough and easy to understand however even as a native English speaker, revision and true understanding is needed. Some of the material seemed unnecessary however I suspect this is to equip teachers with more advanced learners. Job prospects seem promising and I was invited to many webinars.

This will be the third TEFL Course I have done and out of all the different companies and platforms TEFL Academy was by far the most engaging and helpful of the lot. The lesson units where packed with useful information and the test you knowledge quizzes at the end of each unit really helped reinforce the topics I just learned. The student support was also really efficient, they got back to me really quickly and where really helpful. Overall my experience with TEFL Academy was exceptional. 10/10

Both my wife and I took this program online, and it was just what we needed. The online interface was clear and easy to navigate, and the content was substantial. Though we were unsure at first of an online-only program, the expectations were well explained and the teachers accessible. We found the tests/assignments to be stretching, but were thankful in the end for being challenged. Both of us felt that we are ready for the next step of our ESL journey. If we decided to pursue the Level 5 certificate, we would certainly use this academy. Strongly recommended.

The course is very thorough and presented in a way that even if you are a non native speaker studying to teach English it is understandable. Multiple explanations and examples are presented alongside the material so there is little room for confusion. The material can seem a bit heavy especially if you are not used to using the methods presented- if this is the case independent research and reading is quite necessary. The response team to help tickets are speedy and on track with the aid provided. If you are looking to get a TEFL certificate I highly recommend doing it through this platform.
