Course Review

I have completed the 120 hour course and I am excited. I was able to study at my own pace and I am my satisfied with my results. The methodology was detailed but thorough. The class assignment grading system is amazing the tutors give explanations to help grasp each concept.The downloads are a wonderful resource to have when working with large class groups or small groups. I am looking forward to see how far i can excel by participating in this program of study. The time frame suited my schedule which gave me the opportunity to continue with this program.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Lol not passing each quiz on the first attempts I was able to pass many on the first attempt, but I had to go back and review the lesson to pass some times as many as 3 attempts.

Schedule-Friendly Coursework

TEFL has been extremely workable around my schedule, which changes from week-to-week, without having the drawbacks of other asynchronous courses; the lessons were engaging and easy to follow. Even on days when I was spread thin, the TEFL courses were broken up into units that were easy to finish in a few minutes, meaning I could always fit it into my schedule.
I feel like I have a much better grasp of lesson-planning, classroom control, and teacher-student engagement thanks to this course. Highly recommend!

What was your funniest moment?
The videos demonstrating negative examples were very silly, and you can feel the bond between the instructor and the class.

Good Information

This program contains a lot of good information that native English speakers don't usually have to think about, because we just learned it as we learned to read, write and speak. It was good to review the grammar especially, as that is the foundation to understanding English. The other aspects of the course, like lesson layouts, activities, and platforms was helpful as well. As an already certified teacher, some information felt like review, while other information will be helpful in teaching English specifically.

Challenging but with Straightforward Instructions and Tutor Support.

I had been thinking about doing a TEFL for a while and then I broke my leg, which gave me a recovery window where I took this course. I found the videos easy to follow and engaging, yet the final module 'Teaching Online' was all text. Sometimes the text regarding assignments was split between two pages. But honestly there was a lot to these rubrics so I could see why. The actual content was good and informative. Tutor support was helpful and swift and featured great feedback. Only once did I need help to improve an assignment and the feedback led me to do this swiftly and effectively. It's a tricky course from whatever background you come from academically, not to be underestimated. But TEFL.org provide all the tools to qualify with a certificate, which can open opportunities for varied futures. Well worth the investment.

What would you improve about this program?
Just the text being across two pages on the layout of assignments so students have to click back through to the start of the specifications for assignments really. It was actually only a minor thing. Everything was really as it needed to be to learn the content.
Pros
  • Easy to follow
  • I managed to complete it.
  • Helpful tutor feedback and comments.
What other participants should know
  • Very achievable, but not to be underestimated either.

Great English teacher learning at TEFL Org!

I had a valuable experience with the 120-hour premier TEFL course.
It is a comprehensive and excellently organized course focusing on grammar, methodology, real life English lesson examples, guides to teaching large classes and online teaching.
All materials are explained clearly and thoroughly by highly professional tutors. Modules are diversified, well structured, and highly informative.
Each part of the course is designed to keep the teaching learner motivated.
It really gets you prepared to become an English language teacher!
Highly recommended :)

online 120-hour course

My first experience in learning a new language and teaching skills online was nothing but a positif experience.
Sometimes challenging but overall a pleasant learning experience. A lot has changed in how to teach and I'm all up for it! :)

This was an online program so no actual experience on an exotic location. However, the advantage of e-learning is obviously the chosing of your own time and place which is a huge advantage when you are working. The modules where nicely micro-dosed so it was an easy digestable course.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My first assignment was not good and I had to fill it in 3 times before it was accepted, so that was a new feeling but the feedback was really valuable and encouraging.
This style of eliciting is new to me but I like it alot!
Pros
  • interactif
  • nice visual presented
  • at my own pace
What other participants should know
  • quizzes were often too simple.

i've learned.

I've been teaching English for 3 years and have taught other teachers how to teach. Because I already had English teaching experience, I thought I wouldn't learn anything new and would just pass some courses to get a certificate. But it wasn't like that at all. The TEFL course challenged me and showed me what high-quality, standardized education looks like. I understood what it means to transform knowledge systematically, and how to understand my students' needs and meet them effectively.

I'm happy to be a better teacher.

From Experienced Teacher to Confident Educator

It was such a beautiful and rewarding experience! Even though I have been teaching for almost 4 years, this course helped me organize my ideas, learn official teaching methods like PPP, and use cool digital and AI tools.

So simple and practical. It was not just about getting a certificate it boosted my confidence as a teacher. I feel more comfortable designing my own lessons, helping my students enjoy the language.

If you are thinking about taking this course, go for it! It will sharpen your skills.

Thank you to all the amazing tutors and team for their continuous support, feedback, throughout this journey. You made every module enjoyable.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Was the lesson plan assignment. with my experience, fitting official frameworks into a strict format felt so overwhelming that I spent 3days finding every possible excuse to avoid starting it! I was terrified of over-explaining instead of eliciting language. Eventually, I tackled it step-by-step using the course guidelines. Passing that assignment from the first time was a huge relief.
Pros
  • Comprehensive curriculum
  • Clear methodology frameworks
  • Highly supportive tutor feedback.
What other participants should know
  • Can be intense at times due to the rich amount of information.
  • The video player lacks a speed control option, it would be helpful for faster reviewing.
