Great course

Was a really engaging course with interesting and insightful material. The modules were well organised and structured in a way which made it very manageable. The use of videos, pictures, tips, and recommendations of extra readings (articles, books etc.) kept the content really engaging. I found the information on lesson planning particularly useful, with examples of lesson plans and guides/tips on how to make your lesson plans really high quality. I will definitely be taking a lot from this into my own upcoming TEFL experience. Thank you!

Brilliant course, well thought out

Amazing content that covers all bases necessary for an effective EFL teacher. The intermittent podcasts are a nice break from the text presented, there are plenty of examples and relevant materials (as well as links to further items that are helpful) and the course is well constructed in a fashion to not massively overwhelm those taking part. It is definitely a commitment with how long some pages are, but the information contained is worth going over and is all incredibly helpful!

Overall, very happy!

Pros
  • Good information
  • Helpful links and examples
  • Organised well
Cons
  • Some slides are a little too long and may take upwards of twenty minutes to get through (but these still contain good information, and the course usually hints at them being longer so it isn't a true negative!)

Foundation and fundamentals

The program is an excellent course as it provides all the information in theory to help you along you TEFL journey including attaining the best course provider. To navigate through the course was extremely easy seen as the TEFL Nomad website enabled that to happen, the knowledge provided was very clear for advancement throughout the different tests and modules. So too sum it all up the course 10/10 and almost a walk through the park. However there was minor setbacks, but nothing to big I could not overcome.

Pros
  • Straightforward
  • Adventureous
  • Accessible
Cons
  • Challenging

TEFL Nomad - The Fewer Things

I started this course with no teaching experience. Just a passionate to travel abroad and teach in another country. I feel as if those course prepared me as well as offered a boost of confidence by breaking it down and having templates and tools available. The examples were easy to understand, and the podcast helped understand real world experiences.
As English is my native language, I only had a few modules that I felt were on the difficult side, but the modules let you go back and reread as many times are you need to.
I think that the things that I learned in this course will translate well into teaching overseas no matter what country you choose.

Pros
  • Go at your own pace
  • Short Quizzes
Cons
  • Not enough examples
  • Extremely general

Fantastic TEFL Course

This was a brilliant TEFL course; it had everything you could ever need to know. Because there was so much information it was very helpful to have each topic broken down into a number of sections as this made it easy to follow. It was also visually appealing and it was very useful to see how far through the course you had got. I also loved the interactive aspect of it, in terms of tracing other people's progress and I loved being able to accumulate points, this made it very motivational. I also thought the videos from James were very useful and really elevated the course! Thanks so much.

Pros
  • visually appearing
  • full of information
  • interactive
Cons
  • a lot of information
  • took some time

Highly beneficial and thorough TEFL course

I benefited hugely from this cohesive and in-depth course. It was laid out in a very accessible and clear manner, as well as going into detail about all possible aspects of teaching English as a foreign language abroad. The mixture of audio and visual elements made the course easy to follow and entertaining as well as educational. I really appreciated the inclusion of podcasts and the care given to intercultural sensitivity and how to tailor your classroom behavior and rules according to your students' needs. This was a fantastic course!

Pros
  • Rigorous and in-depth
  • Clear and concise
  • Covers all bases in detail including teaching different age ranges and types of learners
Cons
  • No cons! :)

Overall, I would definitely recommend this TEFL programme to anyone looking to go abroad and teach, I feel like I have learned a multitude of vital teaching skills that I cannot wait to use.

  • Supports its learners
  • Structured well

Great platform!

Great course, learned a lot. The information is very helpful and will come into use in the future when I travel!
I loved the platform though. The points system is a nice way to motivate you to keep working and you can even keep track of your friends in a leaderboard! How fun! Glad I did this course.

Excellent course

The regular use of podcasts recounting personal experience is insightful and extremely helpful. Lots of good practical advice, as well as theoretical, is given, particularly with regard to classroom management. Traditionally difficult components of language such as grammar are made digestible and explained succinctly and effectively. I highly recommend this course to any aspiring or current English language teachers!

Pros
  • Highly accessible
  • Engaging format and organisation
  • Effective use and frequency of assessment
Cons
  • Short, easily completed in <10 hours as opposed to 120

TEFL Nomad Course Review

This course was very helpful. I appreciated how much content was included. The website was very user friendly and easy to use. I also appreciated the amount of content that was included related to being an educator. As someone who got my degree in education, that content was very accurate and helpful to review. I also really enjoyed the podcast videos. Those videos gave more perspective from someone who has taught abroad. This made the course relatable and I felt more understood. I also liked how each module was about a different topic. The modules also built off each other which was nice.

Pros
  • Easy to use
  • Great content
  • Podcasts helped
Cons
  • One page included a lot of information at times
