Great

It was a very enjoyable course with the right amount of vigour. Feedback was very helpful and detailed and my tutor assisted me with any questions I had. Furthermore, I got on with the course well. It was sectioned as 10 different units which all had a test at the end to check your knowledge. Alongside that it also had 3 big written assignments that gave me perspective into the material creation and classroom planning areas of an ESL job. I would definitely recommend this course for others too as i found it very fun and informative.

Pros
  • Clear
  • Concise
  • Support

  • Certificate Delivery takes long

Review of Online TEFL Level 5 Course

I found the online Level 5 TEFL Course to be extremely informative. The lessons were helpful and concise. Plus, the three major course assignments truly tested ones ability to apply newfound knowledge in a practical manner. There were also many suggested resources in each module, which elaborated upon relevant teaching topics. There is a lot of support embedded into the TEFL program for those interested in seeking-out jobs shortly after completion. Plus, the in-person training component provided a great opportunity for networking. I have completed the course feeling prepared to create my resume and cover letter, and to begin applying for English-language teaching jobs!

My experience with the TEFL Level 5 course

I had a wonderful time learning with The TEFL Academy and preparing myself to become a TEFL teacher. The support given throughout the course is really helpful, the units are well structured and the content presented is very interesting. The teachers give great feedback as you complete your assignments and are available to clarify any other issues you might have. The weekly webinars are also a plus and everyone gets to ask questions at the end. I definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing a TEFL career!

Comprehensive and enjoyable course

I decided to take this course with the intention of being able to work online when hopefully moving to France for early retirement. I am probably not the age of the usual students following this course. But I found it very user-friendly.
The online course was interesting, informative and fun to follow and I could work at my own pace at whatever time I wished. All the units were explained well and the assignments were clearly defined. Tutors returned feedback and grades returned quickly.
The online level 5 diploma course also offered 3 top-up certificates of 30 hours each in specific areas of teaching English, given free of charge. Teaching one-to-one online, Teaching young learners and Teaching Business English. All three were very interesting.

Pros
  • European recognised qualification
  • Online and self paced
  • Affordable

TEFL academy review

Very lovely teachers and helpful staff quickly and efficiently answering all questions I had.
The course is straightforward, effective and easy to understand. I did not need to ask my tutor anything at all over the 6 months because everything is very easy to understand. when they gave feedback for my assignment they were very helpful and kind.
At first I had a problem logging on to my account but after a number or quick phone calls to some very friendly customer service members of staff the problem was resolved.

Highly Recommended TEFL Course with the TEFL Academy

I loved studying with the TEFL Academy. After many internet searches for the right course for me, I decided the TEFL Academy was right to study around my lifestyle with family and work. I have recently moved abroad so it has given me another avenue for work. The course was challenging at times but I did not need to contact tutors for any help due to the resources given, recommended reading and links to research sites. This in turn meant that I learnt more as I read so I referred this option. However, the tutors are there if needed and gave me fabulous and helpful feedback with assignments. The course is easy to navigate and straightforward in moving through each module. The end of unit tests are helpful and the course is well balanced. I am excited to continue with the top up courses!

Pros
  • Marking of assignments with in depth feedback
  • Covers teaching listening and speaking in depth, extra webinars
  • Great modules on lesson planning
What other participants should know
  • Challenging at times but the extra research helps
  • The opportunity to watch more live lessons would be beneficial

The great continuous teacher feedback is essential in this course that delivers the appropriate learning outcomes and student experiences.
The courseware was effective and engaging during my online learning experiences.
Based on my own experience students should also do research whilst doing the assignments and teachers are very helpful.
students are able to find important information or course components, they simply can use them in their classes.
I am very please in completing this course.

Pros
  • Expanded knowledge
  • Enjoyed studying
  • Feel accomplished

During my course I had requested support from the team and the response I received was incredibly kind and hugely supportive. It showed the company truly uphold good values and care about the students that take their course. I would recommend training with this company as they go over and above with their investment in students. The learning materials also challenge you to build your skills and prepare you for being equipped as an English language tutor. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The combined classroom practical helps give you confidence in your skills.

  • Great support
  • Informative material
  • Challenging tasks to help build your skills

Excellent Online Course

Great course to do online as it was a very engaging and interactive course
Interactive activities throughout each unit to check for learning and understanding were quite useful as it kept me engaged and interested
Easy to do in my own time when suited me as I work full time so would recommend for others in a similar position
Some aspects of the course such as grammar were quite challenging which kept me engaged in the course
Assignments were also interesting and allowed me to do some further research and expand my knowledge on the topics
There was also further reading at the end of each unit and links throughout the course which is great to learn more

Kemoikantse’s review

My experience was unique because I had help for the most part and enjoyed my time during training the support I got made the course very fun and exciting, being able to do my work at my own flexible time allowed me to focus more and set my goals in order. Being able to focus on specific things and different times made me feel comfortable and relaxed within the training, so much so that I excelled in my training and did very well in all my assignments the slides and materials given to me weee more than helpful

Pros
  • There’s so much to learn and you enjoy the work that is given
  • Support from tutors
  • Good course material
What other participants should know
  • Work load is a bit much
  • The pass mark for test is a little high
  • Too much information to take in per unit
