The Tefl Academy was a excellent academy for get my Tefl, from the beginning the stuff was very helpful and help me in every step! The program it’s hard but it’s very good, the 10 units are create in a perfect way for help your improvements. The assignments are hard as well, but they are important for understand what a Tefl job will be.
The cost is one of the cheapest because sono academy ask you a lot of money for the same course, The Tefl Academy ask you a very competitive price and they are honest about thi.
About the 168 hours online I can say that they are very understandable and very helpful, the online program help me very much for understand how teach and other things.

Great feedback is given which helps you grow and develop and not just pass and move on!! True learning experience!! Have been recommending it to everyone looking into TEFL!

Great investment in your future! Even if you don’t end up teaching this course will help you be a better writer, reader and much more!

My Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) course was just what I needed to try my hand at living and teaching abroad. The course was hard enough to test me yet was easy enough to follow each unit. Instructions and guidelines are laid out like all diplomas so easy to follow and tick off when completed. Although I have an MA in English this feels like a perfect accompaniment to further strengthen my skills in the use and teaching of English. Well worth a go.
Did not have any problems or negatives with thus course and at a discount price of £249 I felt I had little to lose. Now I'm in Cambodia waiting to start in a local school, I know it was well worth the investment. Can go one to take one on one teaching course for further advancement in this area so feel the world is my oyster at the moment.

Excellent course to do online. Very helpful tutors and other support staff. Easy to access and thorough coursework. Very tough assignments but worth it and prepared me to deliver to students.
Recommend it anyone who wants to develop their teaching skills online or abroad. Very flexible too.
I recommend this course to anyone who wants to do it to expand their cv or solo travellers who want explore other countries and to utilise their skills combining with their travels. Each unit was very thorough with useful extra reading. The end of the unit tests were hard, but challenging as to what you learned. Although it is 168 hours one achieve it quickly. I found certain aspects like grammar very useful as I never covered it thoroughly in my days.

I recently completed The TEFL Academy - TEFL Combined Level 5 Course which had both online and a weekend practical teaching aspect to it.
The course itself I thought was excellent and would be the perfect start to anyone wishing to pursue a career in English Language teaching. The online tests ensured I had fully understood the content of each Unit and the whole course layout was perfect.
The assignments were challenging and gave me a real insight into the life of an ESL teacher. The weekend course I spent in Brighton was based at a hotel and included other students on the same course. It was a really enjoyable and educational weekend which has given me great confidence going forward in my career.
Overall I would fully recommend this course to anyone wishing to work either at home or abroad within the industry.

I completed the Level 5 Certificate course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Although I've been a tutor for more than 25 years, I still learned quite a lot from the course. The course contains 10 units, which cover, e. g., lesson planning, teaching vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar and how to select teaching materials. Candidates had to complete three assignments, which I found rather challenging: 1. planning a reading lesson; 2. planning a grammar session; 3. commenting on a course book and choosing authentic materials. The feedback on the assignments was prompt, fair and thorough. All my queries were dealt with in a timely manner. For me it was convenient to study at home, and I found it easy to navigate through the programme. Highly recommended!

When I was doing my research on what course provider to choose for my TEFL course I came across many good reviews about the TEFL Academy and their outstanding deals and the overall value of their courses. So I chose them! I enjoyed the course, the assignments were challenging enough and there's plenty of materials, tips and further readings given. I feel like I have a good amount of informations and knowledge to try starting a career. I wouldn't have minded doing some more in depth grammar revision during the course, some of it is included but I would have liked a bit more practice through more challenging tests. That's the only downside I can found about the course and in order to teach you will have to do plenty of more revision anyway! The staff are very polite and prompt in responding to any inquiries. Also when you complete the course they give you a big list of websites where to apply for TEFL jobs all over the world and they offer their help with your CV writing. Being unable to travel at the moment, I am looking into on-line teaching/tutoring which I wouldn't have considered before but I can see it happening now!
Sooo... I definitely recommend this course! Good luck with your journey! :)

I found the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) to be a very challenging, rigorous, well-structured course that covered all aspects of theory and through the assignments made the best of trying to evaluate students' classroom presentation skills. The online course gave us plenty of access to other online resources so i fell that in terms of theory this course could not be bettered. It was much harder than I expected and I struggled with the course and the demands of a full-time job but the support was fantastic and I got through.
