120 Hour TEFL

I always struggle with the 'out of 5' system - anything under 5 seems somewhat punitive, yet 5 can seem a little misleading. I'd much rather have a system out of 20. StudyTEFL would score 19/20 in a world not obsessed by the limiting ideal of 5 star systems. It has clear value because everything they have made available to us is purposeful and targeted at teaching how to be a quality teacher and what to do in X situation. Their certificate can be easily notarized and apostilled using their partner solicitor (I made the mistake of emailing a different one who wasn't sure, but the one they partner with got it done quickly for me and mailed over). Moreover, there's a host of resources and assessment types that they use to keep you engaged. This was paramount for me because I get bored easily and become intolerant of plain old text - there's no need for that kind of learning in 2026. Videos were a mix of talking head lecturer (almost all human voice aside from their unit on AI, which I'm fairly sure they put in there to be clever, though they needn't have bothered) and explainers of concepts from YouTube, but then the most useful of them were those of English teaching taking place in classes. I'm sure this is standard practice, but it's effective having these recordings to pair with the text and the imagination they create in their scenarios. It's synergistic. Now over to the keeping it real part - this isn't a perfect course (the 120-hour TEFL). It maybe tries to fit in too much. I felt the unit on culture could be sliced up and spread around other units, for example. The AI unit was fine but I'm not sure how necessary it was. Can't fault the response time of staff during 'on hours', but on 'off hours', I had to wait 5 hours. This is perhaps when a bot would be better? All in all, this represents incredible value for money, but there are a few tweaks you could make to get this on a solid 5 stars rather than a high 4 point something
