Combined Level 5 TEFL Course in South Africa

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.

Taking on this Journey was a quick decision and happy I took it on...Like I say if you don't try you never will know.

Since traveling the world to many countries I found languages fascinating. I realized I picked up the basic language quickly no matter where I traveled. Enough to say hello, thank you, I need, I would like, where is etc.

I lived in Chile for a year and picked up the Spanish Language with in 5-6 months and still speak it fluently. I currently speak English, Spanish, Afrikaans and Sign Language.

I love the idea that if you take the trouble to understand that persons language, you are respecting them for trying to speak to them and understand their culture. They in return respect you back knowing its not your first language, friendships form.

The course was very challenging, but it gave me many more great ideas when it comes to any type of teachings in general. It teaches one to use their initiative, research and network further.

There is so much to learn in each world of any type of subject. I look forward to starting my journey soon to teaching in various countries.

The units were easy to follow with many more self reads and further teaching materials.

The support team is efficient and fast at getting back to any queries.

I recommend this course to anyone that loves to work and teach children, young learners and adults. This is a great way to further ones career in the language and to make friends all over the world. Teaching another person grows their knowledge. Knowledge is Power!

I really enjoyed the course so so much and really didn't expect the in dept detail that I learned.
Every Unit has it's own challenges, but it really helped so much that I knew that if ever I needed help, I can just Email The TEFL Academy and a someone will be able to assist me.
The level of information in this course is really interesting and I learnt so so much of things I never knew and that will help me in my way forward in the EFL career.
Every unit also has a further Reading section were you can read up a bit more if you need more info and that helps alot.
Thank you so much for everybody involved in putting this program together!!

My experience with tefl has been great. I learned a lot of new things and i found the course easy enough. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to work overseas or teach online.

The staff was also very very helpful. And they solved my problems quickly and they were very friendly.

The assignments were easy to understand and I always knew what to do. I also got my marks back quickly and the feedback was very helpfu. Its stressful to wait for the marks but when you pass its the greatest feeling.

This course was far more in depth than I expected making me more than prepared to start teaching English as a foreign language. I am so confident in the skills I have learnt. The course is easy to navigate through and I found the content very interesting. At the end of the course, I was provided with suggestions about how and where to find a job, as well as tips for how to write up a CV and cover letter which have been incredibly helpful. I will definitely take some short, specialized courses with The TEFL Academy in the future.

I had great fun in the practical component of the course held over a weekend in January. Additionally, the online course opened my eyes to pathways. It provided a great foundation for learning, with a vast knowledge base to take advantage for future research. I quite enjoyed the extra resources provided, ranging from youtube videos on classroom behaviour to language acquisition techniques. It also provided a great refresh on my own grammar knowledge, which I found extremely useful. All in all, it was a fantastic experience.

I recently completed the Level 5 TEFL 168 hour course - I loved the experience. There was a good balance between theory and application both in the course content and the assignments. I am a qualified teacher but this course still challenged me especially on the lesson planning side and in ways of creatively achieving learning objectives. The course was well-supported by TEFL and I felt confident studying remotely. I have signed up for the Business English module and look forward to completing that soon, too!

This was a professional and well organized course that was both informative and useful. I had a thoroughly good experience. The course meticulously works through all that you need to know to teach both online or overseas and provides a certificate that is respected. The certificate is, honestly, a requirement if you wish to get a decent job - any job that does not require this, or an equivalent, certificate is most likely a scam and I advise caution.

It is also quite affordable as long as you wait for a special!
