The TEFL Academy level 5 online course

The level 5 TEFL online course was the first course I have ever taken as a fresh high school graduate, and it has motivated me and raised my confidence enough to take up more future courses! My experience was great. Although there are high standard requirements which have to be fulfilled, I have only faced low pressure as this course provides all the help and chances one might need, from experienced teachers as well as ICT personal! I recommend the TEFL course to other (young) people who want to pursue a foreign language teaching career. Completing this course is so rewarding, and extremely beneficial for your teaching job application.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Don't be afraid to use tickets to ask for advice! I thought that asking for help or advice of the course teachers would lower my assignment points, but this couldn't be further from the truth. The teachers are very pleasant and always prepared to help you with all your problems. Thanks to the little help I have asked for, I have successfully completed my course assignments.

Super Informative, well structured and ample time

The time allocated to finish this course is more than enough, I’m excited to be an EFL teacher, the assignments really get you thinking as a student and a teacher in both shoes. I learnt a lot in this course and would recommend to anyone that is keen to add a few hours into their day, whether they are high school graduates or a retired business man/woman. This course does not discriminate and is beneficial if you want to make an impact in the lives of those that are willing to learn English regardless of their age or background.

What would you improve about this program?
It would be good to have a few Online video lessons with a lecturer, at least a set number of lessons within the 6 months

My experience with studying online with The TEFL Academy

What made my experience so unique was how much I benefited from the deep knowledge that the units covered concerning the English language which I never even knew of nor did I realize how important it was. Like the unit concerning grammar which was unit 4 in the course was very challenging and also very informative. It gave me more knowledge about grammar than I ever knew even though English is my first language. I also loved the unit on the history of English language and how it evolved and spread and became a lingua franca and known as the universal language. What was most outstanding to about studying this course was that it taught me how valuable the English language was in the world and how it broke many communication barriers that people of different origins and nationalities once had. For those who want to study the 168 hours online level 5 TEFL course with The Tefl Academy, I suggest that you hurry because a rich world of knowledge awaits and also an exciting fun learning and easy to navigate online platform awaits with supportive tutors and a very weighty certification awaits if one completes the course. This course is well accredited by award winning bodies like OFqual, QUALIFI, DEAC and AQC as well as the price you pay to begin the course is great value for your money. check out the link (www.theteflacademy.com) for further information.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Being worried when I submit my assignments as I was so nervous if everything was correct in them and if I would pass, but what reassured me was that I could submit them atleast 3 times if I failed and that the tutor assessing the assignment would give informative feedback on where I need to work on to pass.

Great TEFL organization to use to kickstart your future!

I went with TEFL Academy because it is a qualification recognised by both the UK and American governments and thus I thought it was the best way to become qualified. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the support was wonderful and quick. The only issue I had was it took 2 weeks until I received my first assignment result (but that was because the assignment was changing and so everything was doing the same as me!).
Course is great, I would have loved some more guidance on online teaching, however, included in the programme is an additional free add on course - one of which is online teaching! Very happy with the experience I had and very happy to be qualified, ready to work and travel when the world opens up again! Would really recommend to anyone who has some time on their hands and may have a slight interest in something like this, just to give you the option of a different future!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would start doing the course as soon as I bought it! The 6 months for the course starts from the date you bought it rather than the day you start working on it so just remember to make a start at first :)

A worthwhile qualification

Lockdown has motivated me to look for more opportunities to work online. The Level 5 TEFL Certificate that I now have from the TEFL Academy is already opening doors within weeks of completion. The course material is relevant and the online format works very well. Once completed you will have the confidence to create high quality learning material and to welcome your first students. You will know how to help your students reach fluency and that will make you a valuable part of any teaching team.

What would you improve about this program?
I would have liked even more information on online teaching, but they have a top-up course for that.

An excellent course every teacher should take!

I am definitely satisfied with my decision of taking the TEFL Level 5 course at the TEFL Academy. The content is very interesting and easy to follow and you can move back and forth to review contents as much as you want. The interactive activities are engaging and the fact that you have a test after each unit makes you go over the content for revision before going on, which helps reinforce concepts. I would recommend this programme to anyone who wants to start teaching English anywhere in the world.

What would you improve about this program?
I would add more videos. The content is very interesting but maybe more videos (not extra material but teachers teaching us this way) would make it more fun and engaging.
