Combined Level 5 TEFL Course in South Africa

I was excited to enroll on my TEFL journey alongside my daughter. We formed a study group, and in most cases I was behind her as far as working through the units went. The units are structured well, but can be very intimidating, especially not having been in school, or learning since 1995. I was challenged, but pushed through. The Assignments were a bit confusing, but once you manage to decipher what is required, it was a lot easier. I tried my best and managed to pass. I am grateful that I enrolled with the TEFL Academy.

I'm a recent graduate of The TEFL Academy and a very happy one at that! It was a very different experience to try out, but one I'm certainly glad I did. On the day that I qualified, I applied for a position and have already been in contact with the sponsors to talk about the process going forward. It's all so exciting! 😁 It has been a smooth process from start to the end. I didn't really need to reach out for help during my studies, but it was very reassuring to know that there was help every step of the way if I needed it.

I wanted to change my career path and what better way to do that than to teach English as a foreign language and have the opportunity to travel.
I found the course very interesting, I learnt more about my native language that i dont remember learning at school.
The activities and test your knowledge exercises were challenging.
The assignments were a lot of fun and required a lot of research.
I really learnt a lot. Not only how to teach and plan English as a foreign language classes, but i have been using what i learnt to teach and train my new staff members.
It really is a very well layed.out and planned course.
Make sure you plan your study time well, at least 2 hours a day.
And most of all - Have fun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When I decided to enroll in The TEFL Academy's Level 5 TEFL Course I had hopes for my teaching career. I must say the program exceeded all my expectations. It was a experience that not only provided theoretical knowledge but also emphasized practical application. From building a foundation in grammar to lesson planning the course covered all the essential aspects of teaching English. I found the specialized modules of the course particularly impressive as they focused on teaching both learners and business professionals. In today's field these areas hold great significance and they were definitely a highlight of the program for me. The interactive platform offered by the course enhanced my learning journey with engaging videos. Challenging quizzes that perfectly complemented the written materials. One of the aspects of this course was having access to experienced tutors who provided timely feedback and acted as mentors throughout. Their guidance helped me bridge the gap between theory and practice effectively. Additionally engaging in real world teaching through practicum gave me experience. Boosted my confidence significantly while exposing me to various student populations. Moreover the Academy demonstrates its dedication to its students by providing career support services that include helping them find job opportunities and offering guidance after they obtain their certification. Personally I can confidently say that this course has had an impact, on me broadening my understanding and igniting a strong passion for the field of education. In essence The TEFL Academy's Level 5 TEFL Course is a rigorous and incredibly rewarding program that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who aspires to teach English internationally. It serves not as a certification but, as the beginning of an exciting educational journey.
