Very rewarding!

I am a Taiwanese girl living in South Africa. I took my level 5 combined course in Johannesburg. There were a few concepts in the course which I did not understand at first. However, because the content is online, we are allowed to read the text over and over again as well as ask tutors for support, thus learning becomes much easier. I attended the 10 hour classroom practice with the expectation that it would be very difficult as I have no teaching experience. However, the TEFL trainer taught in a way that made the atmosphere very relaxed. Plenty of interactive activities engaged our interest and stimulated our critical thinking as well. The training provided by the TEFL trainer was made easy and to the point so that by the end of the lesson, all of us were prepared enough to give very good presentations to the rest of the class. The TEFL level 5 combined course is one I would highly recommend to anyone who is not just looking for a teaching job, but would like to expand their horizons by experiencing new cultures and realising the potential of your students and yourself.

Pros
  • Quizzes in the online course allows you to retake them repeatedly and have no time limit.
  • You are allowed to request for an extension at a cheap price.
  • Online course is learned at your own pace, allowing you to plan your learning around your own schedule.
Cons
  • There is not much real world teaching practice as the course does not require you to teach in front of real students.
  • Online learning has no face-to-face interaction and students are not able to ask questions on the spot and get immediate answers tailored to their needs.

Online TEFL Course, Level 5 Diploma (168hrs)

The course was well constructed. It contained all the necessary material and instruction to educate a participant on how to teach English as a foreign language. It was informative, challenging and now I will reap the rewards. Looking forwards to beginning my journey with my new skills and qualification.

I would recommend this course to anybody seeking the means to become equipped to teach English.

The first step is always the hardest. But once you start the course, you will be motivated to see it through.

Pros
  • Informative
  • Modern
  • Interactive
Cons
  • Rigid

TEFL level 5 review

Overall my experience was really good, the work was much relatable and could navigate easy through the site. A good amount of information was provided and work covered in the course was more than enough for teaching students. The time period to complete the course was more than enough and allows you to take your time to do the work and not do everything rushed, so more content sticks with you. There was lots links and tools provided to assist with assignments and after you done the course for later use.

Pros
  • Information provided is sufficient, all aspects of language is covered
  • There is enough time give to complete the course.
  • Jobs and internships are filtered out when you have comleted the course.
Cons
  • Internet connection is required all the time when logging in
  • Assignments should include more speaking practice
  • only those 2 cons

TEFL Academy Level 5

The TEFL Academy was worth the money. The lessons are well structured and helpful for any class and online setting. The tests were really thought out and tests your knowledge. After this course I feel competent and confident to teach any type of class all over the world. The site also helped me get a job abroad. This is not a site that overload your inbox with messages and unnecessary things you do not want or need. Only useful resources and information were sent to my inbox. I will highly recommend this site for anyone.

Pros
  • Good communication.
  • Helpful resources.
  • Understandable classes.
Cons
  • A lot of information.
  • Assessments are a lot of different documents.
  • Nothing.

Excellent experience

The TEFL Academy is an excellent choice when it comes to deciding which company to do your TEFL certification with. The materials and lessons provided were informative and helped me to obtain my qualification. I have asked for assistance a few times during my course and each time I got the best help and so much information from the staff. The course was definitely challenging but in a good way. I feel like I will make a great TEFL Teacher after doing this course. The TEFL Academy is always running specials on their different courses and it is affordable for the quality received. I have received multiple job offers all thanks to the help I received from The TEFL Academy after I have completed my course.

Pros
  • Affordable
