Combined Level 5 TEFL Course in South Africa

It was not a difficult program and it gives you all the tools you will need to learn how to teach a language to someone and it also give you a buff on your vocabulary and English usage. You do need to study on your own so it entails you to have a strong will to go through the course. When you do your assignments be sure to read through the instructions with careful understanding and do not be afraid to contact if you need any help because there are people who will assist you when you need it. In all it was a good learning experience.

It took me a few extensions, but I eventually completed my TEFL course. I enjoyed the depth in which the different units were written for the student. You could read the unit parts as many times until you have fully understood. The tests at the end of every unit are insightful as this is where you get to test your knowledge. The lesson plan examples were also amazing; easy to understand and endless ideas on how you can plan your future lessons. the technical, admin and tutor support is superb, you can always follow up with a phonecall and a friendly voice is always there to solve an issues you may have. Cannot fault this course.

The TEFL Academy exceeded my expectations with regards to the TEFL Level 5 Course. I had heard of TEFL before, but hadn't ever seriously considered signing up to complete the certification. While doing my research (I wasn't sure which TEFL company to go through - there are SO many out there), I emailed The TEFL Academy asking some questions, and I was pleasantly suprised to receive a call from a lady in Europe (I live in South Africa) who was more than willing to answer my questions. The customer service really impressed me, and I am so glad I decided to do my certification through The TEFL Academy. The course was well presented, the website was easy to navigate and I found the assignments to be the perfect level of challenging. I haven't started looking for a job yet (I am also working full-time) but The TEFL Academy does have great resources and support for writing your CV and cover letter, and reputable companies looking to hire TEFL teachers. I took about six months to complete the course, but if I worked consistently on it (and didn't work full-time), I think finishing it in 1 - 2 months would be very manageable. I think that would be enough time to go through the course thoroughly and also produce assignments of a high quality. I look forward to the opportunities The TEFL Academy has given me with a certificate of a high standard!

Because of the sheer number of Tefl courses out there, it is difficult to know what to choose. If you need to just quickly get a piece of paper saying you are “certified”, you can easily do this. If you want to actually learn how to manage and teach a class of EFL students, The TEFL Academy is the way to go. The combined level 5 course provides you with everything you need to start a career in EFL teaching and more. They take you step-by-step through everything and the online platform is well designed and super user friendly (sometimes using a phone or tablet can be frustrating so opt for a laptop). The course is also not super easy which I liked. I feel as though I was challenged and pushed to think like an EFL teacher would. The in-person part of the course was also just such a great addition, I would definitely not pass on this. The only downside I saw is the fluctuating prices of the courses. Depending on when you decide to start the course you could either save a lot or spend a lot more than you’d like. This can be frustrating when you see the price drop to 30% lower than what you paid for it a week before. But that is just life I guess and you really do get what you pay for. This isn’t just a certification, it’s a chest filled with incredible tools, resources and lessons.

The TEFL Academy course level 5 was very nice and challenging for me. I learnt a lot about teaching English as a foreign language. The different techniques and approaches will help me in the future when I start the journey of teaching Engish online to people all over the world and broadening the English community. I am looking forward to it and thank you to The TEFL Academy for giving me the key to do it. I would recommend TTA level 5 Diploma TEFL to anyone who would like to make a difference in the lives of people.

I decided to do my TEFL 168 hours course through the TEFL Academy at the start of covid. It really kept me going with the prospect of future opportunities. The course was so convenient being fully online, I honestly couldn't recommend it more. The assistance offered by the tutors was amazing, I never had to wait longer than 3 days for a response. The course itself was easy to follow and covered all the necessary information to prepare you for teaching abroad. The only thing I can critique is how daunting and time consuming the assignments were, however if you just start and dedicate a little time to doing the work everyday, it is doable.

The Tefl Academy provided a useful platform to learn on. Instructions were very clear which was helpful considering online courses can be very confusing. This was a logically set out course with a generous amount of examples given so you can truly understand the concepts as well as a variety of activities in between the coursework which provide mini tests so you can gage how well you are grasping the concept of the work. The activities are all very easy to follow and rather enjoyable in my opinion. The end of unit tests can be quite tricky but they ffird you the opportunity to fail, restudy the work and try again which is motivating. Tefl assignments defintaly proved the most challenging but they provided examples of what you will encounter in the real work of teaching therefore you learn a lot whilst doing them. Overall I was very satisfied with the course and would most certainly recommend it.

I did the level 5 course with The TEFL Academy and it was money well spent. It was extremely convenient to do this course at my own time and pace. The course can be completed in less than 6 months and everything is online. The staff of The TEFL Academy gives complete feedback about your assignments and the marking of the assignments gets done within a few days. The course material is interesting and provides multiple resources for lesson plans and activities. I can recommend this course to anyone who would like to explore their options in teaching English online or overseas.
