TEFL Level 5 Online course Review (TEFL ACADEMY)

This course really challenged me to think differently about teaching English as a foreign language. I have been teaching German as a foreign language for 5 years and this course has even helped in the way that I teach that now. I look forward to the opportunities this course will create for me and truly believe it has developed my teaching skills and outlook on teaching as a whole. I also really like that this course helps you even after you've completed the course to find jobs and update your CV/cover letter accordingly. Overall I have had a wonderful experience with this course and would definitely consider doing other courses with them in the future.

Pros
  • New techniques
  • Course could be done from anywhere in the world
  • Developed my outlook on teaching
Cons
  • Challenging assignments

The TEFL Academy Review

The TEFL Academy is a trustworthy organisation that treats its clients with care. I experienced no drawbacks while studying with TTA. Online support, career advice and guidance as well as engaging and current theoretical content has given me the confidence to apply for teaching English as a foreign language anywhere. I completed my Level-5 TEFL course while completing a final year in undergraduate studies- The TEFL Academy has a flexible study-plan that allows you to study alongside the unforeseen circumstances of life.

Pros
  • Consistent, engaged and prompt online support
  • Easy to use online interface (digital platform is navigable and simple)
  • Loads of supportive literature and resources for the field
Cons
  • I have honestly experienced no drawbacks with this organisation so far.

Everything I wanted

The course was highly engaging and included everything I wanted. Support was given through helpful links, instructional videos and detailed course content. It was fun and never felt boring. I was highly motivated to complete the course despite my already busy schedule. The course was challenging but not so challenging that I felt I couldn’t handle it. There was no loss of support or connection from learning online, my learning experience was just as good had I been learning in a real classroom. Furthermore, having only finished a week ago I have already been given access to so many potential jobs.

Pros
  • Engaging
  • Motivational
  • Supportive
Cons
  • No connection with other students

A gratifying experience

With all the TEFL courses online, I wasnt sure which course to take. After some research I finally opted for the TEFL Academys Level 5 online course and the results far exceeded my expectations. The course was very complete, diving into different areas which I would have never considered. The evaluations and feedback from the instructors on the homeworks proved valuable, and I feel prepared to take the leap into teaching.
I would be happy to recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching English as Second Language.

Pros
  • Online platform always available
  • Grammar section for non-grammar buffs
  • Homework assingments which make you practice what you learned

Online Level 5 TEFL Certification

I was very impressed with how well the content was set out and taught, even though it was online. I thought that I would be difficult to teach all the information to someone doing the course online, but it was done very well and done in a way that makes it easier for the learner. The only thing that was a bit "tricky," was the navigation. The course website does not allow you to only go back one page. When you click on "back," it takes you to the main page/dashboard.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone!

Pros
  • Covers all you need to know before you teach
  • Online layout was done very well
Cons
  • The navigation was sometimes tricky, because you cannot go back just one page. (below)
  • It takes you back to the dashboard or main page.

It was an exciting experience to get a Level 5 TEFL Diploma online

Online Level 5 TEFL Diploma course was my first of its kind. I remember how excited and enthusiastic I was feeling when I started it. I was very satisfied with the clear and logical structure of the curriculum and really enjoyed what I was learning and the way it was presented (articles, videos, further readings, webinars). I found very useful to have quizzes at the end of the lessons and it was great to apply all the acquired knowledge in the assignments. It was also comforting to know that we could make repeated attempts.
Personally, I missed having "classmates" who I could have a discussion with (especially about the assignments) and would have felt more relaxed if I had known in advance how long each unit will be (just to schedule my time).
In conclusion, I think this is a high quality, professionally and thoroughly designed course. I´m happy and grateful for completing it.

Pros
  • is equally as reputable as a face-to-face certification
  • you can follow your own pace
  • the curriculum is well structured and very informative
Cons
  • you can feel a little bit lonely
  • you don't know how the 168 hours of the course are distributed

Amazing experience

I am an English teacher from Argentina who was looking for a certificate in order to teach abroad and I found this course which I highly recommend. There are many things I learnt in this course that I didn't know or haven't Been taught before, so I found it very useful and practical, since they also provide Many websites where to design or look for ideas and materials. The course is easy to follow and engaging. The material is valuable and there are many useful tips to use in the classroom. In addition,the support and feedback from the teachers who check the assignment help you to improve since they are very detailed oriented. If you want to teach english abroad you definetely need to take this course. On top of that they send you websites and tips to do your cv! I'm More than satisfied with it.

Pros
  • Useful material
  • Good ideas for the classroom
  • Variety of Games to use in the classroom
Cons
  • Demanding tasks
  • Too long vídeos in some units
  • Reading material could be short

Level 5 TEFL Course

The TEFL course was very educational and easy to access and understand. It helped build confidence in my teaching and tutoring abilities. It gave me great experience to put on my resume and I look forward to continuing my education in teaching. The course included a multimedia format that made it much more engaging than a standard online course. It was great that you could complete the course at your own pace as well. The quizzes and assignments were great for solidifying knowledge learned in the course.

Pros
  • Multimedia platform
  • Great quizzes and assignments
  • Easily accessible
Cons
  • Wait time between assignments
  • Pass, merit, distinction seemed unnecessary
