The TEFL Academies Qualifi Level 5 Course

I really enjoyed this course as it was structured in a way that made sure you knew what you had learnt before moving onto the next topic(this was very beneficial for me). It is also very easy to understand what to do-very informative throughout the course and it does prepare you by applying what you've learnt in theory and putting it into practice in the assignments you have to submit. Their support team also made a huge difference to the course as they answered any questions I had and still do after I've finished it within 24 hours. Overall it was worth what I spent but if I had to list the one point about it that should be added, I'd say that they include some online teaching practice with real people but other than that like I mentioned before it was well worth what I spent.

What would you improve about this program?
Add in online teaching practice to practice the theory in a real class.

TEFL Academy

As I was venturing into the space of remote working, TEFL Academy presented an exciting opportunity for me. The course website was very user friendly and addressed all areas required to teach English as a foreign language. The fee paid included a classroom course, which was held over the weekend. I particularly enjoyed this as it exposed you to a "real life" setting and how to prepare for your future in teaching.
Overall the experience was fantastic and I look forward to using my new knowledge to inspire students who are eager to learn English.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would complete the course as soon as possible. There is a lot of opportunity to earn money online and the sooner your receive your certificate the sooner you can teach.

An amazing course

Thank you for a wonderful, insightful course! The content was clear, user friendly, concise and very enriching. The feedback I got for my assignments were very specific and helpful. The individuals who marked it went through a lot of trouble in giving constructive feedback. Thanks to those guys and girls! I really enjoyed doing the course and remained interested and motivated throughout the whole process. I'm grateful for the opportunities that has opened up through this. Thanks for a great course!

What would you improve about this program?
I honestly can't think of anything I would improve! For my needs and what I was looking for, this course ticked all the boxes.

Combined Level 5 TEFL Course in South Africa

The result of this course is you feel ready to teach. Unfortunately, because of Covid-19, I cannot travel and use it, but I can teach online. The course is tough and goes into a lot of detail, but (even at age 54) was definitely manageable. I feel accomplished and prepared to teach. I would highly recommend The TEFL Academy for the content, customer support and affordability. If you are thinking about doing a TEFL course do not hesitate to do this one.
I look forward to when I can travel again and be able to teach all over the world.
Thank you TEFL Academy

What would you improve about this program?
I would not improve anything on this program. It covers all aspects of how to teach and what is not there as you come across any issues when teaching you will be able to get answers from the support on Instagram and FB and the internet. I was a little overwhelmed at first with the grammar, but then relaxed as any issues can be dealt with as they come up.

A great experience!

I started the TEFL course in March 2020 when I attended the 2 classroom days. Our instructor PJ (or Princess Judy as she would like to be known!) was amazing. Her patience was second to none. More importantly, she made learning fun. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in a classroom. The class wasn't too large that I felt I was getting lost in the crowd and the exercises were fun and educational. It was a really nice background for starting the online course. I found the material to be challenging, but fair. The setup is great and very user friendly. Definitely worth it if anyone is interested in a TEFL course.

What would you improve about this program?
I honestly cannot think of anything that I would improve. I think it was very well rounded.

Excellent

The Level 5 TEFL Course was excellent. The notes were easy to understand and engaging while the activities were inspiring. I enjoyed the work and the feedback I received after each activity.
I enjoyed the the activities because they were fun to plan and And engaging for me to do. As someone who wants to become a teacher it is an excellent course in introducing the the topic.
I do not understand why I have to use 500 words it it seems really dumb and makes me not want to write a review.
I would recommend the TEFL course but I did not do it over sees just at home.

What would you improve about this program?
Nothing. I think the Level 5 TEFL Course is very good but I did not do this overseas.

The TEFL Academy review

When approaching the idea to do a TEFL course I was anxious because I was unsure about the support I would receive by doing it online but The TEFL academy went over and beyond what expected with guidance and support. I knew what was expected of me through each module and I felt confident knowing I could contact them at any stage if need be and receive a prompt response. The units are easy to understand and not overwhelming with information. The constant quizzes and mini-tests kept me on track and allowed me to assess my own progress and knowledge. I would highly recommend this course.

What would you improve about this program?
There is nothing I would change about this program. It went over and beyond what I expected. I was anxious that there would be plenty of tests and due dates and little to no assistance. However, I was very wrong as I was able to go at my own pace and had plenty of time to complete my assignments. My assignments were not overwhelming as they were explained so thoroughly and my feedback was always positive but helpful. I was given plenty of information and ideas that I know I will use when I am in my own classroom in the future.
