It is a comprehensive course that fully prepares anybody to embark on a TEFL career. The course units are well-structured. The assigments were challenging but enjoyable. It adds to the integrity of the course. It is not an easy "get it done quickly" course. The accreditation also ads significant integrity. I am sure it will be recognised worldwide and by most emplyers in the TEFL industry. The grammar units are comprehensive. I don't think anything is left out! All in all I found it an enligthening experience.

The online platform is easy to navigate and is user friendly. There are videos and instructions to navigate. Instuctor support and resources are also available. The content is divided into lessons. Each lesson is informative and interactive with, knowledge checks. There are some assignments to check your understanding of the subject. Overall, it was great learning, and it has equipped me with another career option.

Review for Online Level 5 TEFL Certificate

It was indeed a great course to attend online. I really liked the course content and the way it was presented. It's going to be very helpful for me in taking future classes. I liked the way the details were divided and delivered. Specifically the grammar chapters and usage of sentence structures. It was simple to understand and follow the needs of the students. Next, it was a variety of methods to distinguish the student's various levels. According to the student levels, we can customize the course content to help them learn their respective target language.

What was your funniest moment?
It was the pattern in which the course chapters were designed. I was expecting once the grammar part in chapter 4 will be over , I will not be facing another grammar chapter, but eventually we did.
Pros
  • It was kind of refreshing to go through the chapter details again, with additional information
  • Extended the details of learning more grammar related aspects
  • It helped to adapt the need of grammar , based on the student's level of understanding
Cons
  • Initially confusing
  • Took a while to relate from the previous chapter
  • some times it needed to go back and forth in between chapters

A great opportunity

I completed this course in order to gain further qualifications for the job I was already working at. I had a wonderful time completing this program despite taking a little bit longer than expected (I got married and had a baby in the meantime so ended up having to ask for several extensions) The course is extremely flexible which worked out great with all that was happening in my personal life. The material is accessible and presented in a very engaging manner, the test your knowledge quizzes at the end of each unit allow you to assess how well you've absorbed each unit as you go. The assignments are useful even beyond the course and the instructions for each assignment are clear and concise. I highly recommend the TEFL academy for anyone hoping to teach English abroad, they have a very thorough job board, and provide plenty of opportunities and internships to put your newly acquired knowledge to the test all over the world as well as online.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would have liked to have known about this program earlier in life because the travel opportunities and internships sound like a lot of fun and great for anyone's resume
Pros
  • Flexible
  • Affordable
  • Thorough
Cons
  • Expensive extensions
  • To get a Delta level qualification you'll need to buy add ons

The course covers essential topics that are beyond essential for TEFL teaching and the modules are well-structured, with a correct balance of theory and practical application and videos.

I want to highlight the amazing job the support system the course has, from their admin team to their tutor support, replying very fast was incredibly helpful for me. Additionally, the videos on YouTube from the course are extremely helpful.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would also purchase the assisted teaching course to help improve my teaching skills!

Teaching and Growing: My Journey with the TEFL Program

Enrolling in the TEFL program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had always dreamt of teaching abroad, but I didn’t know where to start. The TEFL program provided me with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to turn that dream into reality.

The course was comprehensive yet approachable, covering everything from lesson planning to classroom management. What stood out most to me were the practical teaching tips and techniques—it wasn’t just theory but actionable advice that I could use right away. The instructors were supportive and incredibly knowledgeable, always willing to guide me through any challenges.

Once I completed the certification, I found myself teaching in a vibrant classroom abroad, and it was everything I hoped for. The program didn’t just prepare me to teach; it helped me grow as a person. Being able to connect with students from different cultures and see their progress has been beyond rewarding.

For anyone considering a TEFL certification, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s not just about teaching English; it’s about creating meaningful connections, exploring new cultures, and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. This program truly opened doors for me, and I’m grateful for every moment.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice for future travelers joining the TEFL program is to embrace every opportunity with an open mind and a positive attitude. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone—it’s where the best growth happens. Take the time to truly engage with the local culture and community; it will enrich both your teaching and personal experience. Lastly, don’t be afraid to ask questions and lean on the support provided by the program and your peers. The journey might have its challenges, but the rewards are immeasurable!
Pros
  • Comprehensive training
  • Global opportunities
  • Personal growth
Cons
  • Initial investments
  • Varying job markets
  • Cultural differences

Insightful course!

I liked that the course was entirely online. I was able to work on the it from anywhere in the world, as long as I had a device and an internet connection. I found the information interesting, which made the course easier to get through. The assignments were great practice for what we will be doing in real life as English teachers. They were graded within 1-3 days for me, which I felt was prompt. Some of the questions in the tests were a bit tricky but you can take the test as many times as needed. I appreciated that it wasn’t an overly easy course and it provided some challenge.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was nervous about completing the assignments successfully! But I put in the time and effort and it paid off.
Pros
  • Flexibility
  • Online
  • Relevant information
Cons
  • Tricky test questions
  • Long instructions for assignments
