The TEFL Academy Reviews

The TEFL Academy is a great institution for acquiring a TEFL certificate to teach English online and even abroad. The institution is widely known and accredited. It offers great support and its content is informative. I would recommend the TEFL Academy to complete the level 5 TEFL course because the academy offers great feedback and guidance throughout the journey even after you have completed the course. The admin and technical staff are really patient when it comes to the learners and they are really helpful until you get your needs met, which is a great characteristic especially in this industry.

I started out the course being unsure if I would be able to make it as a teacher in English. I knew next to nothing about being a teacher. But as the course progressed my confidence grew and I now feel equipped to go out into the world on my own. The content was interesting and applicable to real life teaching situations. Granted it is time consuming and takes a lot of personal discipline to complete the course, it was interesting to learn new things about the English Language, that I, as a native speaker, did not know.

The course materials were detailed and easy to follow. Multiple checks were made as you progressed through to ensure that you understood what you were doing. The assignments were multi-faceted but the instructions and expectations were clear.
I used more than one extension to complete due to unforeseen reasons but the Academy was very helpful and made it easy to apply for extra time. Support was available for the assignments or anything else if needed. A great course, lots of work but very worthwhile. Thanks!

The TEFL Academy is the only place to go to when doing your level 5 qualification. Good structure to the course with lots of support.
They have a excellent worldwide reputation. Unlike some other providers the support that The TEFL Academy provides is excellent.

There are 3 assignments which require a lot of work, this is good as you need to know your stuff if you want to get a good grade.

They provide great support after you finish the course if your looking for a job.

Great service.

It was an amazing experience. The tutors are very specific when giving you feedback on your assignments and the assignments are very challenging, they require you to do a lot of research. The support team is wonderful! They respond to you as soon as yesterday. The assignments provide you with some sort of practical experience, especially assignment B, there were times when i literally felt like i was in the classroom because i had to plan a full lesson and be realistic about everything i would say and materials i would use

This course is very comprehensive, it covers everything that you would need to become a successful TEFL teacher. The Units are structured well with a End of Unit test after each unit. The assignments are really challenging and a lot of research needs to be done. This is good as it stretches your capacity in those areas..... The markers are really thorough in their feedback to you as they really personalize the feedback according to your assignment submitted. Also, the support is very competent, they were so quick to respond when I had a query, they were really professional.

I completed the The TEFL Level 5 online course and the Teaching English Online (1 to 1) course via the TEFL Academy. The experience I had was wonderful and the administrative support offered was friendly and efficient.
Both these courses are student centered, easy to operate and works according to the students pace. The online-only version of the course is the most flexible way to get TEFL qualified. Once you have successfully completed the course you will be qualified to teach English abroad anywhere in the world. The platform also offers assistance with CV, Clover Letter templates as well as providing you with websites to find job placements. This course has been a real stepping stone in furthering my new career.

My experience with the TEFL Academy has been horrible!! To begin with the course was extremely boring and provided zero benefit for teachers. I have around 5 years of experience teaching English to individuals of all ages and levels in multiple countries around the world, so I know what I am talking about when I criticize this absolute uselessness of the "education/information" that is provided by the TEFL Academy.
Then they are too lazy to obtain my certificate of completion that they ask me to contact TQUK, this is after one month of waiting when they "claim" time and again that certificates will be sent within two weeks. I have to contact TEFL to ask what is going on, they are not professional enough to contact me to explain that there is a delay, and then they have the nerve to tell me to sort out the problem myself.
Don't waste your time or money on this organization, there are plenty of others who I am sure are competent and do their jobs.

When I decided to do a EFL course, I did a lot of research and found that there were many institutes offering similar EFL courses. I live in South Africa so it was important for me to find a course that is accredited. I eventually stumbled on the TheTEFLAcademy website and was pleased to find that they were internationally recognised and that they offered a huge discount.
The content in this course is really interesting and easy to understand and there were lots of activities and unit testing that assesses what you have learnt. 6 months is more than enough time to get through the course.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course and I'm looking forward to beginning a new career in EFL.

I completed the Level 5 TEFL course through the TEFL Academy. The was professionally structured with relevant material that helped me gain an understanding not only of what is required of an English Foreign Language teacher, but what it means to be a foreign English teacher and how much impact that role can have. The course is great value for money with great information and instruction as well as access to a plethora of inspiring resources and helpful tools. I would definitely recommend this course to people who are looking for a short and very doable course to expand their CV for potential employers.
