It was Great

I liked how everything was organised and explained in a comprehensive way. I was taught how to design a teaching plan and given tips on making it work, given an exam on creating an actual plan and was taught the importance of paying attention to the mindset of a student and remembering not to assume knowledge on their part and thoroughly explain everything. This course has given me a great foundation to start my career. And considering the price, it has over-delivered. I've enjoyed the journey with the TEFL Academy and I'd choose it again if I went back in time.

What would you improve about this program?
I'd add a real teaching experience over skype for example. It would be really helpful to see for yourself how you'd preform on-job.

Great all-round course

The course provided by the Tefl Academy is an all-rounder, leaving you with knowledge across all the areas required to be a successful EFL teacher. I personally think that the feedback given after each assignment is very helpful and some tutors go above and beyond to support your future achievement and understanding. Each module is supported by assessments and exams and overall, leaves you feeling ready to go out and teach. I would give the course 9/10, as some small grievances such as the ability to download course-notes could improve the functionality of the course material.

What would you improve about this program?
I would add a feature that gives you the ability to download course-notes could improve the functionality of the course material.

Qualifi Level 5 Teaching English as a Foreign Language ( 168 hrs )

I found the TEFL Level 5 (168hrs) Course quite interesting and affordable. The end of unit tests were not as challenging as the assignments.
The turn-around time to my queries were always very quick and helpful. The lessons were not long and complicated and very easy to comprehend. I also found the feedback on my assignments to be insightful on where improvement is needed. However, I do feel that the course can be a bit overwhelming if you don't have prior knowledge of how the education system is operated.
Overall this experience was very exciting knowing that you can share a new language to people from various countries around the world.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
The thing I would change is that I would have done a lot more research prior to starting the course.

Excellent Course

I graduated from the online Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs). It has an organized online platform. Doing the course online gave me the freedom to plan my own study time. I was able to continue working while doing the course. The instructions are very clear and you know exactly what to expect from the course from its outline. There are lots of materials for further studying and it prepares you to enter the classroom. It's also great if you'd like to teach English online which is what I've started doing. I Loved the course!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would plan my schedule better, to have have extra time before my course deadline to complete my assignment.

A Great Experience

The course completely fulfilled my expectations. I've learned so much about teaching methods for all the different skills like reading and listening, as well as how to approach grammar and pronunciation. It gave me many interesting activity ideas to use in the classroom. It has also covered multiple teaching aids, their advantages, and usefulness in different situations. I have received in-depth training on how to plan different types of lessons, considering the needs of specific groups (adults, teenagers, mixed nationality groups, etc.). What I enjoy the most about the experience of taking this course is the constructive feedback provided by the assessors to each assignment. I got to know exactly what I've done right and what needs to be fixed, without feeling discouraged. The assignments were always marked on time. All that while being on my own schedule and not having to leave the house. 10/10 recommend!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The trickiest moments were approaching the assignments and initially not feeling up to the task and a little bit lost, as I was required to prepare things I haven't had experience with before. However, I quickly proved to myself that I can do it, and it felt truly rewarding!

TEFL Academy 168 Hour online course

The TEFL academy Level 5 online course was very successful in preparing me with the necessary skills and knowledge required to work with various levels of ESL students with regards to teaching english. I had allot of support and never had to follow up on any email or ticket request. The assignments were somewhat challenging and the instructions could have been clearer, but in the end was very well structured.
I required a course extension because i didn't finish within due time, the extension was very reasonably priced. My partner also did the course and found it very interesting, the course covers most if not all aspects required for teaching english to a foreign language and helps the teacher to understand various problems that might arise when teaching.
Highly recommended.

What would you improve about this program?
Clearer instuctions on assignments. The course also could have provided more links to information required on the assignments.

Online TEFL

Enjoyed the online TEFL course.

Despite not having any experience in TEFL, I found the course easy to follow, informative, challenging and rewarding.

The modules and ongoing tests were well managed to confirm knowledge and gave the reassurance needed when following an online course.

Had to take a break but was available to avail of an extension.

Assignments are informative and challenging but can refer to the modules for guidance and suggestions. Assessors provide useful feedback enabling amendment and resubmission. All feedback is constructive.

Looking forward to receiving certificate and commence searching for employment opportunities.

This course also provided an opportunity to reflect on the construction of our own language - shame we dont learn our own language in this manner at school!

What would you improve about this program?
Negotiation of online course could be improved to include a search facility

Amazing Course!

The TEFL Academy online course was challenging and provided me with all the necessary knowledge needed to start my career in TEFL. The staff was always professional and friendly and all interaction done with them was well received (even the silly questions at times). They reassured me when querying about the course and lived up to the expectations up until the end upon receiving my certificate. The assignments were a bit difficult but upon reading and researching, I was able to figure out exactly what to do. The staff also assured me that they would assist in building my CV and assisting in finding work. TEFL Academy is really one of the best around. Other companies online seemed to scam their clients. TEFL Academy gave me the confidence to start this new venture!

What would you improve about this program?
The assignments were a bit difficult and I would request more assistance or better explanations of what is required.
