TEFL course level 5- a mind changing experience

The whole experience was very valuable. The contents of the units are relevant and straightforward. They’re guided so you can go through really easily, at your own pace. For those who don’t have any experience in teaching, you’ll find the assignments completely useful as they provide real-life case studies. Also, the course provides model templates and further references where you can find helpful ideas and tips to create activities, design and plan lessons and so on. All in all, the level 5 course integrates theory and practice in an engaging way.

Pros
  • Straightforward materials
  • Relevant units and topics
  • Engaging videos
Cons
  • Asynchronous lessons
  • You don’t get in touch with fellow partners

Keep Pushing Through!

I'm very happy that I chose to do this course. I'm even happier that I completed it. I must admit, I found the first assignment (there are three in this course) incredibly overwhelming and I was ready to throw in the towel. I felt that there was an information overload and it all became too much. It's incredibly detailed. If you're thinking of doing this course, you have to really want it. It's not something you can do half-heartedly. The assignments are all a lot of work and demand a lot of your time. In saying this, however, I enjoyed the Units, the Interactive Activities and the Tests. I learned a lot and for this I am grateful. The tutor support was extremely prompt. I already have many years teaching experience as a Drama teacher, which is why I chose the online TEFL course.

Pros
  • I learned A LOT
  • Prompt tutor support
  • Gateway to working abroad
Cons
  • Demands a lot of your time
  • A lot of work

My Personal Experience with TEFL Academy

My experience was unique in such a way that I got involved in mentoring the English language to some high school learners while I was still busy with my online TEFL course.
Furthermore, they are non-English speakers in my area from Somalia. With my experience with the TEFL classes, I also managed to assist them with English word pronunciation.
Future participants must enjoy taking the course because, in my personal experience, I have learned that English is like a bridge that connects people, nations, and countries.

Pros
  • Detailed content about teaching English as foreign language
  • More language content references given for further research.
  • assistance given for job seekers
Cons
  • lack of video conference classes.
  • The calendar doesn't indicate the duration of the course, 6 months period starting from the day you start the course.
  • The percentage mark of the assignments is not given.

TEFL course

I truly appreciate what I learned from this course. My teaching skills improved significantly. I recommend to pay for it and enjoy the adventure.

I am currently teaching english to kids and adults, and thanks to this course I have become exceedingly skilled at my teaching. In this program, you will learn from relevant theories of how to teach English to the history of language teaching and even of how language is acquired and learned. Therefore, this journey will make you shorten a whole career into a 6 month course.

Pros
  • Updated theory
  • practicity
  • Constructive feedback
Cons
  • Lack of support to do the assignments

Success

I definitely think that all English teachers should do a Level 5 TEFL course. The skills you’re taught are amazing, the assignment feedback in-depth and helpful and overall the course is extremely interesting. You are also provided with great guidelines especially how to set up a lesson plan. Also, you are given extra resources as recommended by TEFL. The units cover a wide variety of work. As a native English speaker I discovered things I never knew and have never experienced in my school days!

Pros
  • Taught to do lesson plans
  • In-depth feedback
  • Website user friendly
Cons
  • Not in person
  • Videos often long and uninteresting
  • Isolating

Very satisfied with the Online TEFL Course, Level 5 Diploma

I am very satisfied with the Online TEFL Course, Level 5 Diploma. The course content is very informative, it's well laid out and easy to follow independently without assistance. I work full-time and the 6-months access to the online campus was sufficient (I advise you to have a studying schedule though, so as to not lose track of time). The assignments were challenging but the tutors' webinars and feedback are super helpful. I have to admit that I had lots of misconceptions about the teaching and learning process, really glad I decided to take the course, I definitely learned a lot. Overall, I would definitely recommend the TEFL academy to anyone who is interested in teaching English as a foreign language.

A surprisingly interesting course

This course was very flexible and incredibly in depth. It’s divided into 10 sections each with an end of module test that can be repeated and 3 assignments that must be completed. The assignments were much bigger than I had anticipated so I would advise on not leaving these to the end like I did. The material was thorough and easy to understand however even as a native English speaker, revision and true understanding is needed. Some of the material seemed unnecessary however I suspect this is to equip teachers with more advanced learners. Job prospects seem promising and I was invited to many webinars.

Pros
  • Flexible. Navigated my way through it in my own time
  • Has input within the material from other students
  • Well structured and user friendly system
Cons
  • Goes into depth on topics I consider unnecessary
  • Can’t give a true experience of reality in the classroom
  • Assignments are lengthy and required more time than expected
