Combined Level 5 TEFL Course in South Africa

I learned so much with this course! Not just about the English language, but the teaching methods blew my mind!!! The quality of the content is very high yet easy to use and understand. I will be lying if I said some of the units didn't challenge me, but because of the layout and structure of the course I managed to get it done. The feedback on assignments were very thorough. You knew exactly what was wrong without feeling discouraged. There were also a face-to-face part of the course. It was nice to meet fellow students doing TEFL. The two days were jam packed but our mentor Linda made it alot of fun. I also enjoyed hearing what others are planing to do after completing the course. Overall, an extremely positive experience for me. I would recommend it to anyone who is considering doing a TEFL course.

I went through some difficult times during my course and TEFL was there for me every step of the way. I will never forget this experience and the grace that was given to me during these times. The course was fair and not too difficult. I further found that the classroom part of the course was extremely fun and I met some interesting people.

I am now finished with the course and starting to think of which country I want to teach in. Very excited to have been part of this course and looking forward to finally share my knowledge with the world.

I would advise anyone that wants to partake in this course to not wait any longer, this is a great experience and will open up a lot of doors, the experience gained from this has been immeasurable...!

A great course with amazing material. It is very helpful and will take you places. The content is very thorough and well-structured. I received my assignments in a short period of time. The support staff were very friendly and accommodating. Because it is an internationally recognized course, the standards were set high. But the TEFL Academy achieved these standards and more. The in-classroom training was fun, innovative and great experience. My facilitator, Judy Nel, was very quirky, fun and intellectual. She helped me understand what it means to become an ESL/TEFL teacher and how to practice the skills learnt in the online component of the course. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching English online or abroad.

I'm already a teacher and have taught English in Taiwan. Since that time countries want teachers to also complete courses like TEFL. This course refreshed my memory about teaching and why we are teaching. It is not only a job, but making a difference in a student's live. As a life long learner, I learned a lot and more focused on the needs of students after this course. I got ideas and methods to improve my teaching and the importance of how I teach to new learners of English. I believe this course broadened my mind on different aspects of teaching. I really think TEFL 5 level course prepares a teacher for teaching all over the world. With the knowledge I gained through this course, I'm excited to travel to new countries to share my experience and knowledge with other people.

It's never to late to study, and I can vouch for that. I signed up with TEFL South Africa at the age of 58, and have not looked back. I found it really easy to navigate yourself around the course from the start. Besides the tests at the end of each unit, they also give you enough resources, materials and videos to watch. The assignments were a bit more challenging to me, but this also gives you a chance to recap all that you have learnt. My one assignment they gave me feedback as to where I was going wrong and let me resubmit it before they would grade me. TEFL are there to help and guide you with your work, and for me that is a big bonus. I now look forward to getting work at a school and a chance to teach and improve someone's life.

What a journey! As a student, I am no stranger to lectures and assignments, however this course was lovely adventure. It is presented in a structured manner and gradually increases in what it demands of you. However, some of the links given do not work. This is a fun and exciting course if you have a zest for life and a taste for adventure, while adding to resume ;).

This course was challenging at times and interesting at times. For English speakers this is a laugh, as you finally learn the wierd and wonderful rules of grammar. You truly appreciate those that have learnt English!

This is not only a good course for traveling, but also for improving your English and studying abilities to truly wow your fellow students and teachers with your skills in your chosen field of study.

Firstly, the staff assistance is amazing. They respond to your emails as fast as possible and they are always prepared to help in any way possible. This course also provides a good and healthy challenge when it comes to the assignment. I have learnt a lot through this course and I recommend the TEFL Academy. I couldn’t be more satisfied with my life experience. I found out about the TEFL Academy through my best friend and I’m extremely happy she introduced this course to me because I will be going to China next year to teach English. If it was not for the TEFL Academy, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to go abroad to a country that I’m extremely excited about. I cannot wait to use my knowledge I learned from my course to teach little kids.

The Combined Level 5 TEFL Course is an excellent option for anyone looking to find a job in teaching English abroad. The course is well-thought out, rigorous and yet accessible. It allows you six months to complete the full course which is ample time to do so. The units are carefully broken up into sections that are easily possible to complete in an evening. The content and assignments will make you feel sure that you are well-prepared for whatever you may face in the classroom and for dealing with a variety of situations in a foreign country. Assistance and feedback is prompt, the content is interesting and the course format is user friendly. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to teach English abroad, online or even just for interest's sake!
