A really great experience!

The course covers everything you need to know from lesson planning, managing a classroom, to what the fundamentals of grammar are.

I really enjoyed the interactive elements dotted throughout the course as it helped to consolidate my learning and give practical guidance on what to do and what not to do.

I also liked that the course was separated into 11 manageable modules that I could work through at my own pace. Therefore, it was very easy to fit it around my other commitments and was not too overwhelming.

Overall, I really enjoyed the course and definitely think it is great value for money!

Pros
  • Very interactive
  • Covered all of the key areas needed to become a successful TEFL teacher
  • The system was very easy to use

Comprehensive Programme

I found the course to be extremely comprehensive in both its content and assessment. The interface was easily accessible, and I felt that I derived a lot of knowledge about the necessary topics it covered. The intermittent videos were a welcome break from the reading and helped break down the topics greatly.

I would recommend this to anyone pursuing a future in teaching at large. I would also recommend it to anyone traveling to teach in a different culture from their own. I found that a lot of emphasis was placed on cultural appreciation. I found the emphasis and explanations eased my concerns about assimilating to the school systems abroad I hope to teach in.

Pros
  • Accessible
  • Comprehensive
  • Detailed
Cons
  • Word-heavy
  • Could do with more interactive interfaces.

Great Course!

Really enjoyed this course. It was structured really clearly and the subheadings made it easy to break down and learn it at a good pace. The podcasts from James also helped to break it down and helped to vary the style of learning. This made it engaging and also added real-life scenarios and tips for teaching abroad which was really helpful and made me feel really equipped for the classroom. The printables throughout the course also really helped. The sections on lesson planning, etc, that focused on real life teaching and classroom scenarios have made me feel ready to start teaching and these are all tips I will take with me! All in all, great course :)

Useful and will definitely help me in my teaching career

I found this course to be extremely helpful. I learned a lot of things that I have never even thought of as this is my first time doing a teaching course. I love the fact that there are useful links that I could also use to help me progress and learn after completing the course. I loved the lesson planning guide and tips given. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching with no teaching experience in the past. The course is written in a way where it is easy to follow.

FANTASTIC COURSE!!!!

I found the course brilliant from start till finish. I found the podcasts from James to be a great help in getting an insight into what a career in teaching abroad might be like and how to do the best I can in the classroom. The podcasts really helped to structure the course so it was engaging the whole time. The structure of the topics of the course also helped to keep me engaged. There were a lot of sections that included practical tips, such as lesson planning that made me feel confident going into the classroom.

Informative and engaging

The course materials were well-organised and included detailed explanations, examples, and practice exercises to help me understand the concepts and apply them to real-life teaching situations.

There was a great deal of external resources referenced in the course that were beneficial for my learning, and will be useful to refer back to in future teaching situations. The flexibility and convenience of the course made it easy for me to fit it into my busy schedule.

The course materials were easy to navigate, and it was easy for me to stay on track and monitor my progress.

Would recommend for first time/aspiring TEFL teachers like myself.

Pros
  • Concise
  • Straightforward
  • External resources referenced

Excellent Programme!

The TEFLNomad programme was both informative and well structured. It clearly broke down learning for me as a user and was simple to navigate. Everything is well organised and relevant, I think it would be beneficial for all users regardless of their educational background. As a qualified teacher the learning was an insightful refresher course as well as beneficial additional knowledge. I have thoroughly enjoyed completing this course in my own time outside of work. I would highly recommend this programme for those considering travelling and teaching while doing so!

Pros
  • Organisation
  • Structure
  • Easy to navigate

Great Course

Excellent program, had everything in it and I feel prepared to go teach! There was lots of good information and tips for managing a classroom. The course does a good job of covering all sorts of issues that may arise in the classroom. This course seems to be perfect for anyone getting into tefl and looking to teach English. I am sure that students will benefit from teaches who have taken this course. It also had lots of good vocab and grammatical structures and tips and tricks to teach these concepts

TEFL Normad

This was a great and very informative course that covers everything one would need to know if going into teaching English abroad for the first time. The Quizzes at the end of every unit helped to solidify my knowledge on the unit, and there were plenty of opportunities to take breaks and review previous units. There were also some very helpful links to great resources and the podcasts implemented into units gave a reprieve from the intense note making. The aspect where you could earn points and badges really gave motivation as well!!

Pros
  • Very Informative
  • Resourceful
  • Covers Everything You Would need.

Great program, very easy to follow

Very good program, easy to follow and helpful overall. The progress tracker on the side made it easy to track progress and plan how much I wanted to do at a time. The material was laid out nicely and the breaks are a nice inclusion. The only thing I’d say to maybe improve would be letting you download the pages or pdfs so I can save for later as I kept having to snip them in case I wanted to print them out at a later date. I would definitely recommend to someone looking to complete their TEFL course, especially first time teachers like myself!

Pros
  • Easy to follow
  • Engaging
Cons
  • PDFs couldn’t download
