Review: Online Level 5 TEFL Certificate. 168-Hour Accredited Course

I chose this course because of its affordable price, excellent reviews, access to job boards, and the fact that it’s completely self-paced — and it truly didn’t disappoint. As an Argentinian and non-native English speaker, I was pleased to find that the course was very clear and easy to follow.

The content is comprehensive and well-structured, covering all the key aspects of teaching English as a foreign language. I also appreciated the interactive activities included throughout the modules, which make the learning process more engaging. The assignments are a great opportunity to put into practice everything you’ve learned, and the feedback provided by tutors after each one is detailed, constructive, and very helpful for improving your skills.

I took this course because I wanted a slight change in my career path, and I’m really glad I did. It gave me the confidence and knowledge to start teaching English and explore new professional opportunities. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in earning a TEFL qualification.

Great!

It was a fantastic course and would recommend it to anyone looking to become an ESL Teacher. The advance courses could have been more in depth to better prepare you for a your specific niche. For teachers who have never taught before, there should be an extensive advance course, where they are designated with a live one on one tutor that can prepare them for job interviews, teaching their first one or two classes, and presence/dialogue in front of a camera. This should be an advance course available after your level 5 certification. Enjoy the journey!

What would you improve about this program?
The advance course could be more in depth and prepare you more for teaching online. Developing a course that give you a one on one experience with a tutor where they can prepare you to how to start teaching online. Maybe 3-4 video classes, going through a couple of lessons and better prepare you for job interviews. I think this would be a valuable course that would better prepare future teachers who have never taught before.
Pros
  • Informative
Cons
  • advance courses could have been more in depth

Certified and Confident

As a native english speaker and after learning a new language myself and realizing within my own workspace a need to communicate and lack of same language proficiency, i decided to search for a passion of linguist and educator also with job flexibility on location of work. I came across TEFL Academy and was impressed with the pricing/payment plan as well as the reviews. I invested and saw that this platform was truly full of quality. Each Saturday with a live youtube training on good to know information to apply to your new career. I was self paced and finished in 6 months. Now I am working on my own program to train, do independent business consulting and offer my teaching on tutoring platforms like preply. I definitely enjoyed the instructors in this course, very informational/resourceful. I completed a notebook of 70 pages for the Level 5.

What was your funniest moment?
Creating my own lesson plans and being critiqued very well on my work.
Pros
  • Resourceful
  • Entertaining
  • Highly educational

An Amazing Life Changing Moment.

Completing my Level 5 TEFL course with The TEFL Academy has been one of the best experiences of my life. The course was well structured, professional, and filled with useful and practical content that truly prepared me for real teaching situations.

I especially appreciated how supportive and encouraging my tutor was. The detailed feedback on my assignments helped me improve with every attempt and gave me the confidence to keep going. The online platform was easy to navigate, and I always felt guided and motivated to do my best throughout the course.

The course also gave me the confidence to teach English both online and abroad. I now feel ready to take on new opportunities, knowing that I have a strong foundation in lesson planning, classroom management, and using authentic materials effectively.

I highly recommend The TEFL Academy to anyone who is serious about starting a career in teaching English. It is flexible, affordable, and provides all the tools, guidance, and support needed to succeed. I am truly grateful for this experience and proud to be a graduate of The TEFL Academy.

What was your funniest moment?
Realizing how challenging it is to teach a simple grammar rule when you first try to explain it, it gave me such respect for teachers everywhere! It was funny and humbling at the same time.
Pros
  • Supportive and encouraging tutors.
  • Practical and relevant course materials
  • A very flexible online program that fit my schedule
Cons
  • NON-AT ALL

Best TEFL course you'll find!

The course is great because you go at your own pace, the 6 months' time frame given provides ample time for you to go through the topics without relaxing also, if that makes sense lol. I liked You have to complete a module to unlock the next 1, it ensures that you have fully understood the content and can apply it to your assessments and of coarse in the real world. The material was engaging and resourceful and I learnt quite a lot, even though I've been teaching language for a number of years now.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I probably would reduce my wait time before starting a new module.
Pros
  • ample information
  • quick response time
  • second chances for assignments
Cons
  • some videos were really long

TEFL Online 168h course - Review

Really happy with the course, volume of information, structure, videos and feedback on assignments.

It helped me develop my teaching skills, particularly through the assignments and feedback.

What I found the most interesting part of the course was the sample curriculum from a course designed to improve English speaking.

I saw this as an opportunity to revisit many of the teaching techniques learnt throughout the course and try to apply them. Specifically, I designed all the lesson plans required to cover all the material to be taught and at the end I was in a position to critique my work.

Great course!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Taking more time between assignments and chapters to let the information sink in.
Pros
  • Volume of information
  • Feedback
  • Assignments
Cons
  • Easy tests
  • Not enough assignments

Fit study around your life

At 42 I knew I needed a career change but I didn’t know how to make study fit around my work and family life. Many TEFL/ESL courses require you to study full time, in person. Then I discovered The TEFL Academy and their online, flexible TEFL courses. Their courses are engaging, inspiring and fit perfectly around work and family commitments. The course covers everything you need to know to start teaching, with top-up courses to give you extra experience. Their courses tutors are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend The TEFL Academy highly enough!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just do it!

Useful and Helpful

My love and passion for education pushes me to learn new things whenever given the opportunity. Enrolling in TTA for a TEFL diploma is one of the best decisions I have made this year. I was able to do the lessons during my free time at work since all I needed was my laptop computer (and sometimes my headset when I had to watch videos). Also, I enjoyed learning about the history of English and teaching English as a second language. I have no regrets in enrolling in the course as I was able to learn many new things while applying these concepts at work.
