Exactly what I needed!

I have been teaching at South African schools for various years as a qualified teacher. I have been looking to expand my horizons through working online, but I could not pass any of the interviews due to not having a TEFL qualification as well. I signed up for the Level 5 TEFL course and managed to complete it in a few weeks. The course was exactly what I was looking for! Signing up was straightforward, the price was appropriate, guidance was provided, feedback was timely, and the assessment was fair. I am now able to work from home and engage with students and teachers across the globe. Thank you, The TEFL Academy. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their teaching CV.

Happy Candidate

Review of Level 5 TEFL Teaching Course

Enrolling in the Level 5 TEFL teaching course has been an incredibly rewarding experience. This comprehensive program is well-structured and thoughtfully designed to cater to both aspiring and experienced educators seeking to enhance their teaching skills.

One of the standout aspects of this course is the quality of its content. The modules are meticulously organized, covering essential areas of teaching English as a foreign language, including grammar, lesson planning, classroom management, and assessment techniques. The assignments are particularly commendable. They are appropriately challenging, encouraging critical thinking and practical application of the concepts learned. Each task is crafted to build upon the previous one, creating a cohesive learning journey that gradually develops both confidence and competence.

The self-paced nature of the course was another feature I greatly appreciated. It allowed me to manage my study schedule effectively, balancing it with other personal and professional commitments. This flexibility is ideal for individuals who require a learning program that fits around their busy lives without compromising the depth and quality of education.

Equally impressive was the support provided throughout the course. The support staff were consistently available, responsive, and genuinely helpful. Whether I had technical queries or needed clarification on assignment guidelines, the support team addressed my concerns promptly and thoroughly. Their dedication to student success was evident, and it made a significant difference in my overall learning experience.

Moreover, the feedback on assignments was constructive and detailed. Instructors provided insightful comments that highlighted areas of strength and suggested practical improvements, fostering a growth-oriented mindset. This personalized feedback was invaluable in refining my teaching techniques and understanding complex topics more clearly.

In conclusion, the Level 5 TEFL teaching course exceeded my expectations. Its well-structured curriculum, appropriate assignments, flexible pace, and exceptional support system create an enriching educational environment. I confidently recommend this course to anyone looking to pursue a career in TEFL or enhance their existing teaching credentials. It is a worthwhile investment in professional development that equips educators with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in diverse teaching contexts.

Intriguing experience

My experience with this course has given me a new insight into studying and learning more about English. Instructions and guidelines with everything from learning material, resources, and assignments are very easy to comprehend and conduct. Great way to start your career with TEFL and also a great start to wanting to travel the world. The course has also given me new skills I will most certainly use in classrooms both virtually and in the classroom. I would also like to say that the feedback from tutors and markers is explicit and very welcoming, they always make harder questions easier to answer.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Most nerve racking experience of mine was have to submit my first assignment. I was so scared to actually fail it. Thanks to the guidelines and study material I passed and was so proud.
Pros
  • Learning the history or origin of the English language
  • Trying out the fun activities out of the classroom
  • Received a certificate to my name
Cons
  • Became a bit procrastinated due to the course being online
  • Screen time was alot.

New Destiny Carved

I found this course at the best time, when I just relocated to Spain and was looking for a new income stream. I enjoyed the material, and completing it gave me great satisfaction. During the study period, I registered on the NativeCamp Japanese teaching portal and gained a lot of confidence. Also, used the lesson activities with my face-to-face student. It was fun to study and practice at the same time.

The program was interactive, loved that it referred to cool articles and other useful websites and teaching materials.
Thank you for the nice reviews of my assignments.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would take advantage of the two gratis lessons added to the program, the 1:1 teaching and the business English teaching.
Pros
  • One can learn when ever convenient with 24/7 access to the material
  • Free resources
  • The newest tech -smart using of AI including in the material
Cons
  • None

Review on level 5 TEFL course

I chose this course after researching various TEFL programs. My main priorities were international recognition and a reasonable price, and this course met both. The content was useful and engaging, and the support team was incredibly helpful—they answered all of my questions quickly and clearly. I'm very thankful for their support. The platform was also user-friendly, which made the learning experience smoother. I hope to find international job opportunities with my certificate. Overall, I’m happy with my choice.

Road to TEFL

You're wondering if it's possible; it is. I started this course doubting myself, thinking there's no way I could achieve the goal I so badly craved. The TEFL Academy was recommended to me by a close friend. Yes, the institution is recognized internationally, and yes, the qualification you will receive is accredited.

When I started, I had no idea what to do, so let me clear things up. When you purchase the course, you'll receive emails. One with a link to their e-learning website, you just set up your profile and get to work. The learning experience itself is interactive and exciting, you have nothing to worry about.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I WOULD START SOONER!
Pros
  • Interactive activities
  • Learner centered
  • The style of tests(based on understanding, not memory)
Cons
  • Navigating a new website
  • Time it takes to grade assignments
  • You need internet access

Best decision you'll make

I wanted to do a course that is engaging and not just has theoretical aspects. The TEFL Academy course level 5 provided not just theory, but probably one of the best interactive and real-life activities that I have ever come across. Even after I was in a bad spot between other work, etc, the support team motivated me and gave me options to still continue with the course while overcoming obstacles due to time constraints. I would refer anyone to do this course who not only wants to enrich others, but also enrich themselves.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would not doubt myself. Everytime I had to submit a worksheet I created, I was so scared. But after using my son as a test subject ;-), I realised that my work and my teaching can actually do good and change a student for the better.
Pros
  • Student support are literally just an email away.
  • The interactive activities make you think beyond your comfort zone.
  • The content of the course are interesting and engaging.
Cons
  • I literally can't think of even one con to share.

Excellent learning experience

The online structure of the learning material was so easy to navigate and understand. All learning material was so interesting as well as clear and precise that it made me so eager to want to go back to learn ore every single day. The assignments were daunting as a learner, however, with the clear instructions, detailed feedback and where improvements can be made for the next submission, as well as the excellent student support, made everything so much easier. The weekly live webinars were my favourite as it gave live information, feedback and support besides the excellent support online that was already provided. This course was the best I have ever done and would definitely recommend The TEFL Academy to anyone looking to to this course.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Completing the assignments were daunting and nerve racking at first, however, after submitting the first submission and receiving such detailed feedback on how to improve the assignment in each question, I was able to successfully complete assignments by the next submission and passed.
Pros
  • Excellent support
  • Easy to use website and materials
  • Very interesting learning materials and webinars
