Would really recommend

I signed up to the course not knowing what to expect because there were so many options. This course was so well organised and easy to get started.
I found it very easy as a native English speaker and would highly recommend. They clearly know what they are doing. 10/10
Usually online resources get boring but I found this course a pleasure to get through.
Also their support was exceptional. Whenever I needed assistance I opened a ticket and would get a reply really quickly.
the assignments were also really useful because they make you plan lessons, something you'll need to do when you start teaching

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would work on it more consistently. If i spent a bit of time everyday on the course, i wold've completed it far quicker. But i took unnecessary gaps throughout. Rather just knuckle down and work through it.

The TEFL Academy

It was such great fun studying through The TEFL Academy. They offered great lessons and support and guidance throughout the endurance of the course. The 20- hour classroom training workshop was a great source of inspiration and guidance. The lessons were well constructed, easy to follow and the end of unit tests were great for revision and review. The student support were extremely helpful and responded to queries in a timely matter. Excited to get working. Thank you The TEFL Academy! Would definitely recommend.

Combined Level 5 TEFL Course Review

The Combined Level 5 TEFL Course in South Africa was amazing! I learnt so much by doing this course and I am excited to see what the future holds. The course material was structured well and was very informative. Furthermore, the support from the staff was amazing and overall I enjoyed the course very much.

We were taught by a highly skilled individual during our practical weekend and everyone was so kind and polite! The TEFL Academy equips one with the necessary skills and tools needed to be a great EFL teacher.

What was your funniest moment?
The most funniest moment was during our practical weekend where we all worked together whilst teaching and planning our lessons. A highlight to this journey!

Excellent Combined Level 5 TEFL Course

I've just completed my Combined Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hours) with The TEFL Academy and it was an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience. The content was informative, the site was easy to navigate and the assignment feedback was both detailed and constructive. I know there are many other online TEFL courses available and the options can be overwhelming, but I really can't fault The TEFL Academy course. It was an excellent choice and I would highly recommend it. Thank you to The TEFL Academy for a world-class course.

What would you improve about this program?
Honestly, I think that the program is comprehensive and covers everything needed. I wouldn't change a thing and I commend The TEFL Academy on an excellent course.

My TEFL Experience

I started this course very hesitantly. With a little teaching experience as a sports coach, I wasn't sure I wanted to pursue a career in teaching academics. Initially I thought it would be a good qualification to have in a CV. The course however, has opened my eyes to a wide range of possibilities and is awakening a passion inside me, to assist so many others who need to learn English to create opportunities for themselves. The TEFL Academy has proven to be a highly professional institution, with the course being so engaging and in depth without making the student feel overwhelmed and inept. The feedback provided after assignments is very appreciated as it helps further develop your knowledge and skills. I would recommend this course to anybody interested in pursuing this field.

What would you improve about this program?
I would have liked to have a bit more video material to help teach the practical aspect.

Level 5 TEFL course

My experience is truly amazing,the course was easy and all instructions and information were at a fair level was there no need to ask for assistance for most of the course. I would have preferred to beable to start with my next assignment while the one was submitted so while waiting we could work on the next one. I want to further my experience with a class and new students learning different cultures and currently working with young children ensuring different techniques and lesson planning for them.. With my children they prefer work with play.. With the course I have learned how to include fun filled activities to keep the children motivated and enjoy the lessons. I felt this course was a great experience and I would definitely recommend others to take on the course, and a great opportunity for word of mouth to everyone I meet.

What would you improve about this program?
To be honest I would change nothing... Everything is well presented and in order of a successful program

Amazing and well worth it

I started this program not knowing what to expect. On arrival for the 20hour course I was warmly welcomed and the training is by far the best I have ever received. The online course was not easy but the instructions were clear and the responses from the tutors was quick and insightful. I would highly recommend this to any person wishing to obtain their TEFL certification. The course was extremely in depth and they provide vast amounts of further resources that can be used to gain a clearer understanding of the work covered.

What would you improve about this program?
There is not much that can be done to improve the course. My only advice is to take note of dates and how long submissions take to mark.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I found the Assignments very challenging. I wanted to use as much of my initiative and imagination as much as possible. i do have a very different way of teaching, as I like to ensure students find any type of exercise fun but challenging.
