For the assignments

I was little frustrated when I know I had to complete two assignments alone. However, it turned out a straightforward task to do if you had take the lessons seriously. Each lesson is well organized and presented. You may want to make some notes that you think it’s important. I‘ve made pages of notes and they were absolutely useful for the quizzes.
The exemplars of assignments are truly helpful and instructions are quite clear as well. Do follow the introductions carefully and double check before you submit the assessments.

Excited

I am very impressed with the TTA academy they have wonderful teachers or tutors and always responds to my tickets that I have logged. I feel like I have been well taught by professionals and the tutors know what they are talking about. The assistance afterwards with a job is also great as they share new jobs on their website. The course is fun, insightful, and easy to navigate the website. I will recommend the TTA company to anyone that is looking for an online teaching study program. It is worth every cent.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Tefl Academy Level 3

It made my experience way easier. It made me finish and understand the content of the level 3 easier. I enjoyed completing my tefl certificate with the Tefl Academy. This experience has been fun and amazing. I enjoyed every second of it. I recommend the Tefl Academy to anyone who is interested in pursuing an online or abroad teaching career. The Tefl Academy tutors are extremely helpful and always ready help you with your mistakes. The webenairs are so helpful and they explain what you happens in each assignment and how you should go on about it.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would focus more and have no distractions

Good experience

I had a really good experience with this tefl provider. The platform was easy to use and the support was really efficient. the content of the course was very comprehensive and easy to follow. the resources were excellent and offered lots of really good websites to use for further study. The electronic copy of the certificate was received within a few days of completion. I did the level 3 course and really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this company to any friends or family because it was so efficient and easy to use.

What would you improve about this program?
I would maybe offer the assignments at the end of the course instead of midway through.
Pros
  • fast
  • lots of support
  • efficient
Cons
  • none

Online certificate level 3 Tefl

Although having been an English teacher for more than 10 years, there are still a lot to learn from the TEFL Academy. There are many necessary things I have learned from their programs: the engaging games tips, the lesson procedures, the notice for teaching online, how to create suitable learning environment, how to deal with multi-lingual class... After all, it was a nice journey. I am satisfied with what I have been taught. Thank you the TEFL Academy. I will recommend to my friends who want to teach abroad.

A worthwhile investment towards your future!

I was initially on the fence about taking this course, but after giving it some thought, I decided to take the plunge! In the end, I was so happy with my decision!

In my opinion, successful completion and getting the most out of this course will depend on the following:

Your grasp of the English language - As a native English speaker, there wasn't anything in the material that I've found really challenging. I'd say the most challenging aspect for me was essentially becoming a teacher through Assignments A and B but other than that, nothing really stressed me out. My experience doesn't represent others. I'm certain most people coming into this may not be confident in their ability to teach English. That's okay! No matter what your proficiency of the language is, if you stick with this course, who knows, you might find that in the process, you'll get a much needed boost in confidence!

How much time you're willing to commit to this - They give you six months to complete the course. This is a little different from other courses where you aren't given a specific timeframe. This motivated me to complete it in a little less than three months, but everyone's different. Regardless of differences in learning/understanding the material or what you personally have going on in your life, I do suggest allocating enough time each day (or whenever you can. Don't put pressure on yourself!) to get through each lesson. Proper time management is a must for any teacher anyway, so it's important to start building this skill now as you take the course.

Your drive/motivation to become an ESL teacher - I cannot stress this enough: have the right reasons for YOU to want to become an ESL teacher! You might have stumbled on this course because you've heard that once you obtain it, you can make some good side income with it on your resume. Maybe you want to travel the world and really immerse yourself in other cultures. Or maybe you just have a passion for teaching. Note: actually liking and or wanting to teach will get you far. Trust me.

Whatever your reason for starting this journey, I recommend you have a talk with yourself and ask "why am I doing this?" I'm not gonna hit you with some hard truths about the state of the ESL market in 2024 or anything regarding the potential pay. Honestly, you can look on reddit or some other platform if one of your reasons fall under the things I've mentioned above. I don't particularly suggest becoming too attached to all the negativity out there. While other peoples' experience is valuable, it's fairly easy to let the negative comments discourage you.

So again, what do you want out of this experience? Why do you want to take this course? Level 3 will certainly give you all the tools you need in order to become a great ESL teacher. Yeah, it lacks somethings in areas, but overall, I believe it's a good jumping on point to start a worthwhile career!

Pros
  • Six months to complete
  • Can go at your own pace
  • Speedy replies from tutors if you have questions
Cons
  • A bit of a learning curve for those who don't quickly grasp onto new and or unfamiliar topics
  • No face-to-face interaction can result in lack of confidence in abilities
