Program Reviews

To be honest, at the beginning I felt a little bit worried because I didn´t know what expect from the course, but once I started, I found it really intuitive and easy to follow, I should mention that the course and task are easy to understand but is neccesary you as an student should organize properly to complete in time and not rush anything. About the content, well, I should mention they give me new ideas and perspectives about how to approach my classes and make it more engaging for my students.

This was an excellent course. I really appreciated the flexibility in how I could manage my time, and the content was consistently clear and well structured. The variety of learning materials such as quizzes, videos, readings and images kept the experience engaging throughout.

The assignments are challenging, but the expectations are clearly explained, so you never feel unsure of what is required. You genuinely develop strong skills, and by the end of the course you truly feel you have earned the title of EFL teacher.

Studying with The TEFL Academy was an absolute wonderful experience! As a undergraduate language student I see the Level 5 TEFL course as a gateway to multiple opportunities for my future success. The course is very well-structured and easy to follow, I also found the assignments fairly difficult but in a good way because the assignments are linked to how teaching will really be once I finished the course. My markers' feedback on my assignments were also very detailed and helpful. Therefore, I highly recommend the Level 5 TEFL course!

I originally enrolled with The TEFL Academy just to “explore options”, but the course ended up reshaping my professional plans. I’ve been a university professor for many years, and this qualification has given me a clear, practical pathway into teaching English as a foreign language.

The online course was well structured and easy to follow, with each unit building logically on the last. The assignments were challenging in a good way and closely linked to real classroom practice. My tutors’ feedback was detailed and respectful, which helped me improve rather than simply tick boxes.

Thanks to this course, I now feel confident about integrating ELT principles into my university teaching, offering English classes part-time (online and in person), and eventually moving into Business English and academic English. For anyone who already works in education or is considering a career change into TEFL, I would highly recommend this course as a solid, professional starting point.

Both the Level 3 and Level 5 courses were professionally constructed. I did both courses online at home in my spare time.

I can honestly say the support was excellent, the courses gradually helped me to understand the purpose and aim of teaching English to Foreign students, so that you could get into their "mindset" and produce tasks at their graded level to enhance their learning experience and enjoyment.

I'm so glad I did the courses, the courses were well put together, the support was excellent and importantly feedback on the assignments was invaluable helping me to understand how I could better my assignments. I have no hesitation in recommending TEFl courses - I just wish I had done these years earlier!

I've long dreamed of becoming an English teacher (even though English is not my native language). When I started the course, I had neither a degree nor experience in teaching. Therefore, I had certain fears and anxieties. Almost all of them disappeared by the end of the course. "Almost" because the next step is to move on to practical work.
Here is my opinion of the course. It is suitable for absolute beginners (I've tested it myself). The course is perfectly structured, with logical blocks that fit together beautifully, providing basic knowledge and a clear understanding of potential development paths. There are many short videos with practical application of the knowledge, and there are even several full-length practical lessons with a real class. Throughout the course, you'll find many links to interesting websites related to ESL, which can be used as a source of inspiration or a knowledge base. Overall, by the end of the course, you'll have a solid theoretical foundation for starting your teaching career.
Three assessments are particularly valuable, as they allow you to put this knowledge to use when planning different types of lessons for students of different levels. What's great is that these assessments not only help translate theory into practice but also genuinely engage your creative approach.
I completed the course with great enthusiasm and interest. The content is highly focused, without any fluff.
Of course, the course alone doesn’t provide enough live, hands-on classes to overcome your fear and gain at least some experience. But that's precisely what I understand the Combined Course is for (a separate practical module that I'm currently considering purchasing).
Overall, I definitely recommend this course to beginners—it will teach, inspire, and guide you.

The TEFL Level 5 course provided by the TEFL Academy provided me with insightful knowledge based on both traditional and latest research.
Actually, I was at a loss about my teaching style when I enrolled in the course because I was exposed to criticism about my teaching which is not legitimate enough, and I was about lose confidence as an English teacher, so I decided to take part in this course and tried as much as I could to explore the world of Foreign Language Teaching.
Not only did the course provided fruitful resources that the EFL teachers can make use of, they also supported me think critically and make effective teaching plans through assignment and feedback, and all of them has made me confident and enthusiastic about teaching English again.
I am pretty sure, if you want to become a great EFL teacher, this course should help you a lot.

The course was highly informative, easy to understand but yet challenging (in a good way) at the same time. I completed the level 5 Tefl course and can’t wait to take the next steps on this journey. I highly recommend The TEFL Academy to anyone who would like to start a career in teaching online or abroad. I feel that enough time was given as well to finish assignments in time and was quite interesting to learn what teachers actually have to do for one lesson. I’ve learned a lot and am very excited to do a add-on course which they also have available.

The TEFL Level 5 course was well-structured and provided clear guidance throughout all units. The instructions for each assignment were concise and easy to understand. The tutors and administrators provided excellent support, always responsive to any inquiries or requests for assistance. This was an excellent decision, and I am grateful for the opportunity to complete the course. It has equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to teach English abroad and has enhanced my resume. I extend my sincere appreciation to the Telf Academy for their exceptional guidance and support.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience studying through The TEFL Academy and found the course both engaging and rewarding. From the beginning, the structure of the programme was clear and well organised, making it easy to navigate through each unit at a comfortable pace. The flexibility of the online learning platform was one of the biggest advantages for me, as it allowed me to study around my daily responsibilities without feeling overwhelmed.

The content of the course was informative, practical, and well suited for someone entering the field of English language teaching. Each module built logically on the previous one and covered essential areas such as grammar, lesson planning, classroom management, teaching skills, and working with different age groups. Even when topics felt challenging, they were explained in a clear and accessible way, which helped build both my confidence and my understanding. I especially appreciated how the course combined theory with practical examples that could be applied directly in a real classroom setting.
