A great course!

This course was great for learning how to teach the English language and work with students. I felt it provided all the information I needed through the online content and the in person class was great to put what I'd learnt into practice. With it being online it was easy to navigate the site and access support from tutors if I needed it. The assignments were well explained and I felt they helped me understand the content better. I would definitely recommend this course to other people. It's been really helpful.

Pros
  • Easy to navigate
  • Informative
  • Engaging

Great experience

I honestly did not know what to expect when enrolling in the course but now I can say it exceeded my expectations. Once I started, the tasks and materials were so engaging that I actually felt the need to access the platform every day. The course content is well organised and the assignments are carefully planned to help you put into practise all you have learned. Although I have experience in teaching, I have acquired plenty of new skills and knowledge. I simply cannot wait to start my teaching experience in another country!

An amazing and educational experience!

Completing my level 5 qualification with the TEFL Academy was an amazing experience. From the course content to the engaging assignments, I learned so much from it. I had never thought about creating fun lesson plans before and I had no idea where to start. Thanks to TEFL Academy, the quizzes and assignments really got me thinking and the content from the course was super useful. I have so much more confidence now and I can't wait to begin my career teaching English. I would highly recommend TEFL Academy!

Pros
  • Left feeling more confident in my ability to teach English
  • Great variety of lessons and course content
  • All areas of teaching English (grammar to lesson planning) were covered
Cons
  • Sometimes the assignments were challenging
  • Would love more interactive videos/games in the lessons

Online TEFL Level 5 course

The online TEFL course is a very good option for anyone who wants to become a certified ESL teacher but doesn't have time to attend courses in real life. The course website offers a variety of useful information and tips on teaching different age groups of students. Each unit contains not only text presentations on the topic but also plenty of engaging exercises to check your understanding. The access to the course is time limited but it is more than enough to complete all units with assignments (just remember to stick to your learning schedule ;) ). Overall, the course was a pleasant and enriching experience. It's even better if you also book the 10h teaching practice in one of Academy's locations. Helps you put everything you learned into perspective and it's a great opportunity to brainstorm teaching ideas with other course participants.

Pros
  • Easy access to course materials
  • Great support system
  • Clear way of presenting information
Cons
  • No reminders about the amount of time left for course completion

Review of Online TEFL Level 5 Course

I found the online Level 5 TEFL Course to be extremely informative. The lessons were helpful and concise. Plus, the three major course assignments truly tested ones ability to apply newfound knowledge in a practical manner. There were also many suggested resources in each module, which elaborated upon relevant teaching topics. There is a lot of support embedded into the TEFL program for those interested in seeking-out jobs shortly after completion. Plus, the in-person training component provided a great opportunity for networking. I have completed the course feeling prepared to create my resume and cover letter, and to begin applying for English-language teaching jobs!

My experience with the TEFL Level 5 course

I had a wonderful time learning with The TEFL Academy and preparing myself to become a TEFL teacher. The support given throughout the course is really helpful, the units are well structured and the content presented is very interesting. The teachers give great feedback as you complete your assignments and are available to clarify any other issues you might have. The weekly webinars are also a plus and everyone gets to ask questions at the end. I definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing a TEFL career!

Comprehensive and enjoyable course

I decided to take this course with the intention of being able to work online when hopefully moving to France for early retirement. I am probably not the age of the usual students following this course. But I found it very user-friendly.
The online course was interesting, informative and fun to follow and I could work at my own pace at whatever time I wished. All the units were explained well and the assignments were clearly defined. Tutors returned feedback and grades returned quickly.
The online level 5 diploma course also offered 3 top-up certificates of 30 hours each in specific areas of teaching English, given free of charge. Teaching one-to-one online, Teaching young learners and Teaching Business English. All three were very interesting.

Pros
  • European recognised qualification
  • Online and self paced
  • Affordable
