Great course, accessible and realistic while working full time!

I was worried the course would seem daunting, but after the first couple modules, I realized I was actually enjoying learning about TEFL. It's written in a way that's easy to understand and retain. They also have a few podcasts in there from someone who has teaching experience. It's very nice to hear how what you're learning is actually useful and how it can help you later on. I was able to complete this course while working full-time. I really appreciated being able to log on and work on it bit by bit when I had time, without the stress of a deadline.

Do this course !

I recently had a break from work and I saw an add for a TEFL Course. I decided to do it and it was the best thing I have chosen. The course went into depth about everything from how to create a lesson plan to what materials to use. The course has prepared me for every thing on my TEFL journey. I feel confident, and can’t wait to use my new skills.

If anyone is thinking about doing the courses I say just do it. I think it’s always nice to have another skill up your sleeve and another career path.

What was your funniest moment?
Correcting my own English. I didn't now many things I say which are incorrect and it's my first language!
Pros
  • Assessments after every section
  • How to create a lesson plan
  • Gives examples on what activities to do in the lessons
Cons
  • A lot of information online, found it hard to concentrate.
  • More video's explaining what to do
  • Maybe a different way of assessments.

WOW what an experience. Great TEFL course

I had an incredible experience with this course! The user experience was seamless and straightforward, making it easy to navigate through the material. I especially enjoyed the podcasts with James guiding us through the course—his insights were both practical and motivating. I learned so much about teaching English as a foreign language, from effective lesson planning to classroom management strategies.

I'm excited to be using TEFL Nomad to start my new adventure overseas, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to begin their teaching journey. This course has truly prepared me to take the next step with confidence. Thank you!

What would you improve about this program?
I would have it be text to voice. Its a lot of reading and information, sometimes I found myself drifting off in thought.

Amazing experience on my TEFL journey!

I came upon GoOverseas with the TFT team and have loved my experience. I decided I wanted to teach and instantly was provided with the resources to begin my journey. The course with TEFL Nomad was easy to use, informative and the video sessions in between helped to create a great balance of content to keep the learner engaged. The materials and structure are a great example of what the course itself is trying to teach its learners. Although a few points are repetitive, it is only to help drill the information into the learners mind to achieve maximum success within their journey. I’m excited for my next steps as I prepare to go teach in Thailand. Good luck to anyone else on this journey!

TEFL course

I have been a qualified languages teacher (French and Spanish) for three years and I completed my TEFL course so that I could teach English abroad as part of the TFT company. The course allowed me to build on skills and knowledge that I already had and gave me a greater insight into my own first language which will be really helpful on my English-teaching journey. The modules are well organised and I loved the inclusion of exemplar worksheets. I look forward to putting what I have learned into action!

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps the end of module tests - although very insightful, they were occasionally overcomplicated.
Pros
  • Exemplar teaching materials
  • End of module tests - good to review information
Cons
  • Sometimes overcomplicated explanations

Great TEFL course

This is a great TEFL course which is well-structured and very informative. To help with comprehension there are also some podcasts which help to explain certain points in more detail and also give personal experiences, as an EFL teacher, which are highly insightful. There are many sections which each break everything down and make it easy to understand. Overall I would highly recommend this course and I look forward to implementing what I have learnt into my teaching. Thank you I have really enjoyed taking part in this course!

Very thorough and insightful

The course is very well structured and easy to follow. It covers all bases from classroom management to different learning approaches, from tricky grammar lessons to teaching all four proficiency skills to any level, from primary schools and high schools to mature students. The bits of podcast included, where EFL teachers share personal real-life experiences while working abroad were very interesting and helpful. I feel very prepared and I am excited to put these teaching skills to the test now!

120 TEFL Course

The 120-hour TEFL online course was an incredibly valuable experience that has equipped me with essential skills for teaching English abroad. The course was comprehensive, covering everything from lesson planning and classroom management to understanding various teaching methodologies. The interactive modules and practical assignments ensured that I not only absorbed theoretical knowledge but also applied it effectively.

One of the most beneficial aspects was the focus on adapting teaching strategies to diverse learning styles, which will be crucial in Thailand, where I’ll encounter students with varying levels of English proficiency. The course also provided insightful resources on cultural differences and how to navigate them, which will help me connect with my future students more effectively.

The detailed feedback from instructors and the engaging coursework have significantly boosted my confidence. I now feel well-prepared to create engaging lesson plans and foster a positive learning environment. This TEFL certification will undoubtedly enhance my teaching career and provide a solid foundation for my upcoming adventure in Thailand.

What would you improve about this program?
To improve the program, I would suggest breaking the larger modules into smaller, more manageable sub-modules. This approach would make the content easier to digest and less overwhelming, enhancing overall motivation and retention. Additionally, incorporating more practical examples and case studies featuring James could be beneficial. By seeing real-life applications and scenarios, learners like myself would gain a clearer understanding of the material and how to apply it effectively, rather than solely relying on independent reading.
Pros
  • easy to follow
  • loads of examples
  • multiple choice questions
Cons
  • Quite a lot of reading
  • Not enough engagement with james
  • Some modules were quite lengthy

TEFL Course

Honestly a really cohesive course, it covered so many topics that I didn't even know existed. I actually learned much more than I thought I would.

It also gave me a really great refresh on my understanding of the English Grammar, amazing lessons plans that were provided.

I do have to say though, it would have been much more preferable if we were able to click a link to download the examples of the power points / worksheets - but I understand that there is a copyright issue there. It would also have been helpful if the content was provided in a document form of some kind, to make it easier to learn.

Nonetheless, the content was great!
