A Great Course

I have been looking into teaching abroad for some time and this course has been on the horizon for a while. I'm already a fully qualified Primary School teacher with QTS so probably had a head start but still found this quite challenging in places - you'll definitely have to keep on top of your grammar skills (I'm constantly reviewing tenses and still can't get it right off the top of my head!). The course is well laid out and logical with some very useful information (some of the non-TEFL videos are hilariously bad (the BBC ones I think), but useful). The assignments are significantly challenging - and rightly so for a Level 5 - I think non-teachers may find this trickier, but it's infinitely doable. Overall, a really well put together course with lots of valuable support. Enjoyed it!

I would definately recommend TEFL

The whole procedure is really captivating and engaging. I loved doing the exrcises and the exams. The assigments weren't easy but that is exactly therir point. the support was always available, kind and understanding. Moreover the way it functions and the freedom to choose your pace and time to do the course is really helpful and it doesn't interrupt the rest of someone's life All in all, it's an experience a degree I would highly recommend people to get it, evne if the don't want to teach, you learn way to many things and understand languages and people better after it.

Excellent course

I highly recommend doing a TEFL course especially if you are considering teaching abroad. The course is well organised, has a good balance of assignments, and the content is interesting. The TEFL team is supportive and their communication is excellent.

My overall experience has been very positive, now I have a much clearer understanding of what skills are required to be a successful English teacher abroad and I’ll definitely be signing up for more. I’m very excited to see what opportunities this qualification will bring me.

Such a great course, the support and feedback is incredibly helpful and quick. Very excited to start applying and hopefully working overseas. The whole experience was very insightful and eye opening. The course covers all the necessary content very well and the interactive activities really helps with understanding and retention. The option of purchasing extra time is also a good addition as it alleviates some of the time constraints if things don’t go as planned. I will be recommending the course.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Honestly doing my first assignment was quite stressful because I didn’t know what to expect but it turned out much better than expected.
Pros
  • Efficient
  • Organised

Great Experience

I really enjoyed my experience with The TEFL Academy. At my age and with a full-time job, taking on new challenges isn’t easy, but this platform was simple to navigate and very user-friendly. The course was informative, well-structured, and the resources — from reading materials to videos — were excellent. I particularly valued the interactive tests, which kept learning engaging. Tutor support was outstanding, always responsive and encouraging. Overall, I feel I’ve achieved something meaningful, opening a new chapter in my life, and I’m excited to take this journey further.

Pros
  • The course is easy to follow providing valuable materials resources
  • The videos are very informative and easy to understand
  • The course allows you to study at your own pace however you must always keep in mind the 6 month limit
Cons
  • I would have liked more videos showing online teaching

Excellent course – practical, insightful, and career-boosting!

I am absolutely satisfied with this TEFL course. The core curriculum is exceptionally well-structured, providing solid pedagogical foundations that are ready to be implemented in the classroom immediately.

What truly sets this course apart, however, are the bonus modules. They were incredibly useful and provided a deeper understanding of the industry's landscape. These additional topics provided great clarity, perfectly shedding light on my further career development and future teaching projects.

I feel much more confident and well-equipped to start my professional journey now. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for more than just theory—it provides the practical tools and clear vision needed to build a successful teaching career.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The most surprising thing was discovering that TEFL teaching methodology can be so innovative. It completely departs from the stereotypical language school model I am familiar with in Poland. It was a refreshing surprise to realize that teaching English can be conducted in such an engaging and creative way, which has inspired me to implement these fresh approaches at my own M&M Studio
Pros
  • Innovative methodology that breaks away from stereotypical, outdated teaching models
  • Highly practical content that allows for immediate, engaging classroom implementation
  • Incredibly useful bonus modules that provide a clear, professional vision for career development
Cons
  • The depth of content requires a significant time investment to fully master and integrate into one's own teaching style
  • Transitioning from traditional, stereotypical teaching mindsets to this innovative approach can feel slightly overwhelming at first
  • The bonus modules are so engaging and insightful that I found myself wishing for even more extensive case studies to explore

Learn how to teach

Highly recommended course. Thank You TEFL Academy. When I decided to enroll in the TEFL Academy, I was looking for a structured, high-quality course that would give me a solid foundation in teaching English. I can confidently say that, if I were to do it all over again, the only thing I would change is starting this course earlier—everything about it was fantastic.

First, the course was incredibly well-structured. Each module built on the previous one, making the learning process smooth and logical. The materials were top quality—filled with practical examples and up-to-date resources. Second, one of the biggest advantages was the ongoing support from the tutors. They were always there to answer questions, give feedback, and keep me motivated. I often turned to the YouTube webinars they recommended, which I still watch even after finishing the course—they’re a huge help.

Finally, writing the three assignments—A, B, and C—was a game changer. They served as an excellent revision tool, helping me consolidate everything I learned and organize my knowledge in a clear way. If anyone is considering a TEFL course, I wholeheartedly recommend TEFL Academy. It gave me confidence, a clear structure, and a toolkit I’ll use for years to come.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I were to do it all over again, the only thing I would change is that I wish I had done this course earlier – it was truly fantastic.
Pros
  • The course was incredibly well-structured; everything was easy to follow.
  • The materials were of top quality and really practical.
  • The support from the tutors was amazing; they were always encouraging and super responsive.
Cons
  • None

My Level 5 TEFL Course

First time doing an independent course online outside of the classroom and really enjoyed the experience TEFL Academy provided. Was super easy to navigate and the units and assignments were great and I learned so much that I can take into my english teaching career. Great videos and interesting topics to learn and study, especially the classroom videos to show and provide you with an insight on how to be and navigate as a teacher in a classroom setting as you will not get the experience through an online course, so its good to be able to view and take notes on.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I didn't have much nerve racking experiences during the course, I felt completely confident throughout the course. I was working while doing the course, so there was some moments of not having enough time to complete assignments, however the tutor and admin support was amazing and guided me through perfectly.
Pros
  • Super easy to navigate
  • Great tutor and admin support
  • Learned lots
Cons
  • Didn't give myself enough time
  • Mark assignments quicker
  • None
