Honestly it's not so bad at all...

Going into the level 3 120-hour course I was excited but also hoped it wouldn't take me too long to finish and, in all honesty, I got it done in like 2.5 weeks and I was working a 9-5 so i dedicated like an hour a day but made sure I did my best to finish a module in a day. The content is good, and they have a bunch of extra resources as well for you to download so that was nice. So, if you are interested in doing this, I think it's worth it plus it's not so expensive either and I don't think it's necessary to go for the level 5 if you just want to get the certificate.

What would you improve about this program?
Maybe have one more assignment, or allow for mock lesson

Review from Lizel Joan Wicomb South Africa

I am so excited and happy to announce that I completed my TEFL Level 3 course. I found the course very interesting and interactive. It is easy to follow and very informative. Initially, I was more stressed out about the assignments but I ended up enjoying it so much. I even surprised myself with my innovation and creativity. So much so that I'm taking advantage of completing the free top-up courses. I also plan on upgrading to the TEFL Level 5 Diploma course.

I found the staff to be very supportive and friendly.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would complete this course sooner. I would not feel so stressed out about the Assignments.
Pros
  • Doing the course online.
  • Expanding my knowledge.
  • Adding another skill to my professional profile.
Cons
  • Procrastinating.
  • Stressing about the upcoming Assignments.
  • Not doing the course sooner.

I really enjoyed the course, because I have great interpersonal and communication skills.
It reminded me of my love for knowledge and imparting knowledge .

The course had clear instructions, breaking down the material logically and relating it to real-world examples. The course was relatable and easy to learn from.

It is great for entry level positions and helped me to identify some concepts to hep improve learning challenges in my day to day. I strongly recomend it.

Truly well designed

As a retired college professor, I was surprised at how well the course was designed. Consistent quizzes helped you understand the process without getting too far gone. I feel confident in delivering online classes to teach English.

I used a rinse-and-repeat method for the study time. I would go through it once, set it down for a day or two, then repeat the units and check if I learned something.

They let you take the test over if you need to. After finishing this course I want to teach business English online.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take your time. This course is flexible and will be a benefit .
Pros
  • Good pace
  • Well designed
Cons
  • Couple of goofy videos

Great start to my TEFL journey

This course was super easy to navigate and provided me with some great insight into what TEFL teaching might be like. The assignments were challenging but manageable, and helped me to understand the process of lesson planning. The content was a good mix of English grammar and lesson planning, also including various tools which will come handy in the classroom. Best of all, this was the cheapest online option that I could find for a level 3 TEFL course. Overall I'm really glad that I chose this TTA course.

What would you improve about this program?
The only thing I would improve is to include more English grammar in the lessons.
Pros
  • Straight-forward
  • Cheap
  • Comprehensive
Cons
  • Not quite enough English grammar

Comprehensive and Confidence-Boosting TEFL Course

I recently completed the Level 5 TEFL Course, and I must say it was an absolutely excellent experience from start to finish. The course was well-structured, with every module designed to build a solid foundation in teaching English as a foreign language. It covered a wide range of essential topics, including grammar, lesson planning, teaching techniques, and classroom management, all in great depth. Each section was thoughtfully organized to ensure a logical progression, making it easy to follow and absorb the material.

One of the standout features of this course was the balance it struck between theory and practical application. While the theoretical components were thorough and detailed, the course also provided plenty of opportunities to apply what I was learning in practical ways. The assignments and practice tasks were highly engaging and challenged me to think critically about how to deliver effective and engaging lessons. They also gave me the confidence to apply the methodologies in real-life teaching scenarios, which is invaluable as I step into the classroom.

The support provided by the tutors was another highlight of the course. From the very beginning, I felt like I was not alone in this journey. The tutors were always approachable, professional, and encouraging. Their constructive feedback on assignments was incredibly detailed and insightful, helping me improve and refine my teaching techniques at every stage. Whenever I had questions or faced challenges, they were quick to provide guidance and clarity, which kept me motivated throughout the course.

The course materials were equally impressive. They were designed with both clarity and practicality in mind, making them easy to understand and apply. The examples, explanations, and resources provided were directly relevant to what I would need in a teaching environment. This practical focus made me feel well-prepared to handle the diverse challenges of teaching English to learners of different ages, backgrounds, and proficiency levels.

One aspect of the course that I particularly appreciated was the flexibility it offered. As someone juggling multiple commitments, the ability to study at my own pace was a game-changer. I could complete the modules and assignments according to my schedule without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. This made it possible for me to fully engage with the content and get the most out of the experience.

Now that I’ve completed the course, I feel genuinely confident and well-equipped to embark on my journey as an English teacher. The knowledge and skills I gained have given me the foundation I need to create engaging and effective lessons, manage a classroom successfully, and address the unique needs of my students. The Level 5 TEFL Course has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering a career in TEFL. Whether you’re new to teaching or looking to enhance your existing skills, this course offers everything you need to succeed. It’s a comprehensive, practical, and highly rewarding program that sets you up for success in the exciting world of teaching English as a foreign language.

The TEFL Academy made this all possible!

After completing my Level 3 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, I began teaching at a small community school in Bangkok. This was all made possible by The TEFL Academy. The content covered in this programme is engaging, and applicable to lots of areas of teaching you will encounter as an EFL Teacher. As part of the course, you will be asked to complete 2 extensive assignments. These are great for reflecting on the areas you are confident in, and provide an opportunity for reflection on those you are less strong with. I cannot recommend this programme enough, the opportunities it will provide are invaluable.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
During my time in South East Asia, I completed the Han Giang Loop. This was by far the most mesmerising experience, and would recommend this to anyone travelling Vietnam.
Pros
  • Engaging content
  • Insightful and quick feedback
  • Assignments that allow reflection and improvment.
Cons
  • Time consuming
  • Assignments are challenging

My Personal Experience with The TEFL Academy

Deciding to get my TEFL certification was a big step, and after some research, I chose The TEFL Academy. Now that I’ve finished the course, I’m happy to share my thoughts with anyone considering it.

To start with, the course content was clear and easy to follow. It’s broken into sections that gradually build your knowledge, covering everything from grammar to lesson planning. What I really appreciated was how practical the advice was—it wasn’t just theory; it gave me ideas I could see myself using in a real classroom.

The tutors were fantastic. They were approachable, quick to respond, and their feedback on assignments was detailed and helpful. I always felt like they genuinely wanted me to do well, which made the experience feel much more supportive than I’d expected.

One of the best things about this course was its flexibility. As someone juggling work and other commitments, I loved being able to go through the materials at my own pace. That said, it does require self-motivation to keep on track, but the course design makes it manageable.
