Level 5 TEFL Course in Europe

Hello! In December I choose to study the Level 5 TEFL course and I began with the 20hr 2 day classroom part. This was a great weekend and an opportunity to meet other people studying the course and meet an experienced TEFL teacher, this experience was invaluable and very helpful. I continued with course and units and assignments and as an English native I thought it was going to be easy but actually it is not and really made me think and I really felt I was learning all over again and testing myself. Once I and finished I really felt like I had achieved something. The course covered everything and I cannot wait to put it into practice now here in Barcelona and start teaching. I am so excited. Thank you TEFL for this course and experience.

This was an amazing course, simple and easy to complete. The information although at times complex was explained well and I feel I have learnt a lot and look forward to using my skills across the world and meeting new people and learning about new cultures through them. I have already recommended this course to my best friend who has started her learning and already loves it. We plan to use our qualifications to travel after university and help people from different cultures by teaching them English. I also look forward to helping asylum seekers and refugees improve their English so that they can gain refuge in the UK

This is the most comprehensive TEFL course out there. I have recently completed my level 5 (168 hours) online course. Each unit is full of valuable information and guided with further reading articles and online resources.
The course content is well laid out and presented. The assignments are challenging and require quite a bit of time and planning. Do not assume 6 month access will give you plenty of time to finish the course.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is starting teaching, or plans to make a career change.

I learned about this website from a friend. I was very surprised about all the details and the quality of each subject. The organisation was very good, when I had a question I got quickly an answer and the assignments were corrected after a few days. Maybe the greatest part about this course is that it gives the opportunity to work online from everywhere and even travel and go teach everywhere you want. I would totally recommend this for everyone. It gives many opportunities (to learn and to teach).

I'm pleased with this course. I have a master's degree in speech-language pathology and the course assignments were challenging and definitely required thought and care. I gained great knowledge in the specifics of language teaching to typical students. I recommend this course if. You are building your resume or would like to expand your knowledge in this area and have a recognized qualification. The price was good for the level of instruction. It is a good format for self motivated and organized students. Be sure that you complete it in the time provided or you have to pay to extend.

At first, my only hesitation about applying for this course was the fact that I'm not a native speaker. I didn't know if my C1 level would be enough to work on the course assignments..but now, after completing the course, I can safely say that even if you are not a native speaker and you have a language level required, it's doable! This course gives you loads of valuable information including teaching methodologies and tips, lesson plans, resources for teachers, and other useful materials. And I'd also like to highlight the career guidance and job-finding resources you'll have access to so after the course competition it will be more clear what direction to go in your career. Overall, excellent learning experience with The TEFL Academy!

I recently successfully completed the Level 5 TEFL Course with The TEFL Academy. The price, amount of knowledge, materials and optional recommended resources on offer was seemingly endless. As you work through each unit there are progress checks along the way and a unit test at the end which you need to pass before moving on to the next one. The 3 assignments were challenging but the feedback from the tutors was positive and encouraging. I found it harder than I thought I would (it's many years since I've studied anything except tourist guides and menus!) but I thoroughly enjoyed stretching my braincells and learning about my own language. I would recommend the optional 20 hour practical course, which I did in Barcelona. I met some great people - 11 people, 8 nationalities - and it brought clarity to certain areas I was unsure about. I live in Spain and so will be looking to put my knowledge to use here but it's a qualification that can travel with you anywhere in the world. I would definitely recommend it.

I am currently working as a teacher in a primary school in Ireland - I learned a lot while working through the content of this course! It gave me the opportunity to focus on the specific skills required for teaching/learning a language which were not really focussed on in my teacher training. The material was appropriately challenging and there was a lot of supplementary reading and resources provided that were very helpful. I can see how everything I've learned would be necessary for beginning to teach English abroad.
