I was skeptical about purchasing this course when there were many other options available at a lower price. However, this course was awesome, I learned a lot, and the feedback you receive from the TEFL instructors was so helpful. I had no teaching experience prior to this course, and by the end, I felt ready to teach any kind of student. There are also two projects that helped my progress tremendously; if it weren't for them, I don't think the information would have clicked the way it did. Being able to use the information they were teaching you was very helpful, and not all TEFL courses offer that.

The course uses a variety of formats and activities to maintain engagement, which is the same methodology TEFL teachers are encouraged to use with their own students. Each area covered - lesson planning, teaching online, reflection, grammar, receptive and productive skills - is situated in its relevant classroom context. The instructors are positive and the feedback is detailed. Whether you are an experienced teacher refreshing your knowledge or a new teacher taking your first step, this course will provide value.

I found this TEFL course well organized and very well structured; it is easy to follow, even for those without any prior teaching experience. The assignments and activities are effective in reinforcing the learning and preparing you for actual classroom situations. It is a very good introduction to lesson planning and learner engagement as it equips you with knowledge, guidance, and confidence to start your TEFL journey. The skills developed are useful, the learning is fun and the knowledge acquired can lead to local and international teaching opportunities. This course provides an enjoyable introduction to the profession of teaching and the chance to make a difference.

The course is straight forward, with instructions on how to navigate the platform and the course. Not only is it interactive (with the embedded videos), but its end-of-unit tests help learners consolidate what's been learnt on every unit. I also found beneficial the assignments given at the end of units 5 and 9. They actually give you the opportunity to apply everything you've learnt throughout the course, thereby challenging you to show your commitment to completing a goal for yourself (completing the course)

However, I expected to see some information on classroom management strategies for ESL teachers.

The courses I took were easy to understand, and there were additional resources available to help students learn more if needed. The evaluators provided valuable support in developing my outputs, and their system was very easy to navigate. Payment was also flexible since I could pay in installments. Overall, studying at The TEFL Academy was a great decision. :) Beyond the convenience, I truly appreciated how the program balanced theory with practical application, making lessons engaging and relevant to real teaching scenarios. The flexibility of the platform allowed me to learn at my own pace without feeling overwhelmed, while the guidance from experienced evaluators gave me confidence in my progress. The resources provided were not only comprehensive but also adaptable to different learning styles, which made the experience inclusive and motivating. I came away with skills that are directly applicable to both classroom teaching and online instruction, and I feel more prepared to pursue opportunities worldwide. The TEFL Academy has given me a strong foundation and a sense of accomplishment that continues to inspire me.

The TEFL course platform is build on professionalism snd supported by excellent course content that covers all aspects needed for a person to start a career and additional income. TEFL support team was always on time marking your assignments. The platform itself, was easy to use and navigation was simple. I was impressed with the idea that you can complete the course in your own time and at your own pace. The flexibility to run the course is helping anyone that has a busy schedule. Thank you to TEFL, that I made it possible for me to earn an extra income.

After a lot of research and am so glad I chose The TEFL Academy! The course was fun, captivating, detailed, thorough, rewarding, laying an excellent foundation for anyone exploring teaching English as a foreign language.
The whole course, not only introduces you to all that you need to know as a TEFL teacher but also prepares and equips for teaching, whether you have had any experience or not.
Together, each unit covers extensive knowledge and information, but in bite size sections with different modes of learning; including videos, quiz's, activities, reflections and so much more. There is a short assessment at the end of each unit, making sure you have gained a good understanding of the topic covered. The 2 main assignments covers the course as a whole and equips you with confidence to move forward into teaching.
The support is excellent and with a quick response.
I would highly recommend this course. Level 3 is a perfect way to explore and be introduced to TEFL, a great first step, with the option of taking Level 5 to gain more experience. However I do feel equipped to start my TEFL journey having completed this course.

The program content is relevant and topics covered are extensive enough to prepare one for teaching online and face to face. There’s also sufficient resources and support provided during and after the course. Also loved the fact that you can pace yourself according to your time and energy. Loved the videos incorporated as part of lessons and various exercises. The exercises made sure I paid attention during the lesson, and having the opportunity to go back and revise if I could not remember what the answer was.
