Amazing.

This was a great experience! Even though I am a native speaker, I still learnt a lot more about my own language! Bring on the TEFL! Bring on the travel! I truly think this is a brilliant course, and the best valued of its kind.
The assistance was one of the best things I found on this course. The instruction was immaculate, and allowed me to pass the course at my own pace. The 168 hour level 5 TEFL course also allows you to have 6 months to complete it, which is more than enough time! With just an hour of study every day, you can complete the course in under half that time. Being online, it is an extensive self-study course with unlimited flexibility. This TEFL course with The TEFL Academy not only opens up new opportunities for work in the future, but is an excellent toolkit for anyone aiming to embrace the English language!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The assignments! I went over the course and revised and I passed.

My way from turist to teacher

My name is María, I'm from Argentina and I'm living and working in China.
I came to Asia as a traveler interested in discovering a country that had always seemed surprising and intriguing for me.
I settled in Zhuhai in the south of the country and began to meet people that helped me discover my passion for teaching.
Job offers came up but I needed more experience. I did a lot of research about the best courses and I finally chose THE TEFL ACADEMY Online Level 5 TEFL Course without a doubt. The offer of courses is great, varied and the certificate is the most serious and recognized worldwide.
I finished Level 5 and it was really useful, interesting and challenging. I improve my skills and found a job in an English Center where I'm teaching young learners.

What would you improve about this program?
I think it could be a bit cheaper to be accessible for more people.

Informative and sound

The course is a sound basis for aspiring language teachers, providing logically organised and academically supported information. The exercises and assessments guided me to develop practical skills in lesson planning, teaching and classroom management, anticipating realistic situations one would come across in their teaching practice. The course has also provided a wealth of further teaching resources for future use, which I have saved on my laptop. It is excellent value for money! Although I recognise that I need to practice to hone my skills even further, I now know how to exploit online and written resources to advance my practice and to meet identified needs of my future students. The course stressed the importance of student assessment and the need to tailor the teaching material to meet identified aims and objectives.

What would you improve about this program?
It met all my needs. Therefore, I cannot thing of anything that could improve on it, without incurring further costs and needing longer time to complete it.

The Tefl Academy

The Tefl Academy provided me with a great experience. I was taught many valuable lessons, and my skills were sharpened. I enjoyed all the challenges and tasks that the course had to offer. I was challenged to learn more about a wide variety of teaching matters, and to sharpen my own knowledge and skills regarding the English language. During my studies with the tefl academy, I learned a lot about myself, and about how I manage to complete tasks under a set time-frame and stress. The Tefl Academy helped me along the way whenever i had problems or roadblocks regarding my work and assignments. I would definitely recommend this course to anybody who wishes to gain some extra skills in the English language. The course is well worth the money that it cost.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Assignment 2 was the most nerve-racking. I just had to push through it

Great experience and useful knowledge

I had been searching for online TEFL courses for 3 months. It was very difficult to make a choice. This online academy was amazing. I repeated everything which I had studied at the University plus I learned new techniques, methods and theory.
I had some difficulties with my second Assignment but they gave me three attempts to pass it. The tutor wrote some detailed recommendations on how to improve it and what to rewrite. So my second attempt was successful.
I really appreciate this course. Now I know how to write lessons plans, how to find useful material on the internet easily and how to cope with difficulties in class. They also gave me a list of special websites with worksheets, teacher's tips. You also can easily find a job through this site.
I really enjoy their online support. You always can create a ticket and ask them everything. The managers are very polite and intelligent.
Now I'm waiting for my printed certificate. They say that It may take 2 weeks to receive it.

What would you improve about this program?
Some assignments are difficult to pass on the first try. But it's worth it. Don't hesitate to contact the manager and ask questions. They will always help you.

Getting Ready for my New Adventure!

I have just completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) and I am getting ready for a new adventure. I have received some job offers and opportunities and the TEFL certificate was definitely a an asset. When you earn a TEFL certification your resume boosts and you are definitely seen with other eyes.
The TEFL Academy was just what I needed, as I was working on a 8 to 5 schedule and I could organize my studying hours in my benefit. I would dare to say it is one of the best and most affordable online TEFL certification programs available.
As a TEFL Academy graduate you will have enough experience to take up a class, as the assignments are quite challenging and the examples that are associated to each chapter offer you a broaden perspective what ESL teaching means. I have experienced the highest training standards and I have received constant support throughout my learning process.

What would you improve about this program?
I would have liked a more "real" connection, maybe some live tutorials online; but that's just one drawback of online learning.

Great course

I have enjoyed the course. The course materials are sufficient to get an appropriate TEFL training. Coming into the course after almost two decades out of school I wasn’t sure what to expect, or if I would be able to successfully complete the course. The online Level 5 TEFL Course came in strong and precise, giving me all the tools I would EVER need in the world of being a EFL teacher. The units were intense and well structured, and any moment that began to feel any bit overwhelming I was able to ask the outstanding instructors for guidance. I was always met with a very professional and efficient response to my questions. I consider taking this class as one of the greatest decisions I have ever made! Also, I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in getting qualified as an EFL teacher.
