Excellent Support and Course Content

I just completed the Level 5 TEFL course, and I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional quality of the content and support. I couldn't have done this without the support of Olivia Klimczyk and the whole team. The course material was incredibly well-structured and easy to follow, because of that I gained a lot of knowledge and skills to become an English Teacher. Thanks to this course as I am more confident in my teaching skills and excited to put them into practice. The pace of this course was also incredibly great especially for someone who has an 8-hr job, it gives you enough time to cover all the content thoroughly without feeling rushed. Thanks again!

Amazing experience

I completed my 180-hour level 5 TEFL course in +- 4 months. Being a single mom, it worked very well for me as I could study around my work schedule and see to my daughter. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience doing this course. The platform was user friendly, and the consent well structured. The wording was easy to understand and comprehend making the 180-hour from the TEFL INSTITUTE my number one choice out of all the other TEFL courses available.
The assessments were not as scary as I thought it would be. I actually completed my 30-hour teaching young learners the same time while doing my final assessment. The team support from all the staff were fantastic. I was lucky to be assisted by Olivia Klimczyk, Jenny O'Sullivan, Tracy Webster, Jacob, Rachel and more. This experience has been highly rewarding for myself, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to equip themselves in their teaching journey. Best of luck!

Pros
  • workload was manageable
  • easy to follow
Cons
  • nothing I can think of

Good program

The course was easy to understand. I also had adequate support, with the tutors (Jenny) on Discord especially. The course content is very relevant to what I need to know to teach English to foreigners. My only issue with the course was the AI detector problems. They have a strict no-AI use policy, but I don't think they have the best AI detector. It still delivers some false positives. You'd have to take advantage of AI checkers while writing your assessments to ensure you don't run into any problems. Otherwise, the program is great. You learn a lot and are rigorously tested to be sure you're worthy of the certificate.

What would you improve about this program?
I'd prefer if the program had stricter deadlines. I think I extended my study because I could take advantage of course extensions and continue studying for however long I liked.

Worth the money, time, and effort

I recently passed my 180-hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma course, and my heart is full. The class content is full of insights and advice for EFL teachers like me and helped me grow through my TEFL journey. They are always available when you need help and respond to your queries promptly. TEFL Institute motivated me to do my best not just for my professional growth but for my future students as well. I couldn’t thank TEFL Institute enough for everything. I hope you keep helping teachers like me gain more confidence inside and outside the classroom.

Feedback

Very engaging and helpful course with variety of activities. I learned a lot and highly recommend everyone who would like to enhance teaching skills. Course was very well structured. Explanations and examples were provided appropriately for each of the sections. I did not really need it because the course is designed pretty self explanatory but there would have been assistance from the company any time. I am a qualified teacher and therefore I can say that the content of this course aligns closely with my own teaching knowledge. Please act immediately to attend this course! You will never regret!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I would recommend that the quizzes entail more scenario questions that require application.
