Excellent Service

Our course trainer, Bee was so helpful during the face-to-face classroom sessions and provided us with relevant material and extremely helpful advice. During the online course, the tutors also offered great assistance in order for me to do well in my assignments. They would also provide feedback in a timeous manner, giving you sufficient time to make corrections. This course is definitely well worth the money and I would definitely recommend this course to any person who is looking for something different yet challenging.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would not waste time at the beginning. I would get started as soon as possible. Mainly because the assignments are quite time-consuming.

Level 5 TEFL

My experience was unique as English is my third language and I therefore felt nervous about attempting the course part-time between work assignments. I can confidently say that the content was well structured and presented in an easy to understand way. I became excited as I became proficient with the grammar and teaching methodology. The course was challenging and forced me out of my comfort zone. The assignments were well thought out and ensured that the theory was put into practice. I felt the course offered excellent value-for-money and support.

What would you improve about this program?
More practical classroom exposure which is now provided.

Combined Level 5 TEFL Course

I have found this course quite challenging and opened my mind to my own language!
I had an extremely pleasant experience undergoing my level 5 course through the TEFL academy. I had no problems navigating or understanding the course and the requirements thereof. The instructions provided throughout the course were fully comprehensive and the online platform was extremely user friendly. The teaching material was well presented and fully comprehensible. The TEFL academy is extremely helpful in terms of providing access to teacher’s resources and material. The content of the three assignments provided valuable practical experience. The assignments were graded promptly and the feedback given was constructive and meaningful. Having completed the course, I feel confident that I am qualified and equipped to start teaching students. I would definitely recommend the TEFL academy to friends, family and associates.

What would you improve about this program?
A unit where they give you an example how everything is put together. Paint the bigger picture. To help build your confidence if you're not a teacher by qualification.

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.
