Great user friendly and informative course

I come from a background and strong interest in linguistics. I did this course as a refresher as I completed my TESOL course a long time ago. The material was informative and well-explained. I especially loved the interactive parts of each lesson as it broke up the reading very well.

As it's hard to cover everything about the grammatical structure of the English language and how to teach, there are external resources provided so that further reading can be completed. I recommend this course

What was your funniest moment?

  • New technology

Best TEFL Level 5 Diploma

My experience with The TEFL Academy was amazing. All the online material was easy to follow, well organized and very professionally presented. Even though the assignments were very challenging, the support I got from all the teachers was exceptional. I highly recommend The TEFL Academy. I am sure it will open many doors for me. I also took three top-up courses which allowed me to get more experience in my next teaching adventures. I am planning to teach in Asia and Central America where there is a huge demand for teachers.

TEFL Academy Level 5 online course

The course is time effective. You can fit the course into your busy schedule and work on it when you have time. They provide a lot of support and information about everything related to the course. They always answer an email when you need help. When the course is finished they provide a whole lot of resources for what you can do afted you have completed the course. The informaton provided in the course is really helpful and teaches you a lot. They also provide recourses within thd course about each topic to help you after when you get a job in this specific field. I would recommend this course to anyone who asks.

Comprehensive and well designed course!!

After completing the 168 Hour Level 5 course through The TEFL Academy, I feel much more confident in my ability to teach English as a foreign language. Their course was structured in a way that prompted the creation of lesson plans which I imagine will help tremendously in the future when I am actually creating lessons plans for students.

They focused on both the minor details of the language and the over all structure of teaching which made me appreciate the depth and planning that went into this course.

Thank again for a great TEFL training course, I highly recommend it!!

Amazing Experience with TEFL Academy

It was my first time enrolling in this course and TEFL Academy met my expectations. o anyone wanting to pursue a teaching career they can definitely enrol here as their material was very easy to follow and very easy to understand. Always follow the instructions and the content of the material that they provide. Study as much as you despite the busy schedule. I did the online course so it was easy to work around my schedule. Although, there are many academies out there I had a great experience with this one.

Overall a great experience!

The course is challenging and full of useful information. The course is regularly updated to provide up-to-date information about teaching trends and industry standards. Every time I reached out for help, I was promptly answered. The assignments are quite challenging but the support system in place to help students succeed is wonderful. I would recommend this course to those interested in obtaining a certification. With this level of the course, you are required to attend a classroom style training; the instructor for my session was very knowledgeable and had quite a bit of experience in the field. She was able to offer a great amount of useful advice for in the classroom and when searching for a teaching position.

TEFL Academy

My experience was a new and unique challenge that made me think about my own native language in new ways and made me see teaching in a new light. I had to work hard and think about how I would make a lesson plan during the assignments. As a studying and aspiring linguist myself, I found every moment interesting. From learning the intricacies of the language to how to properly teach it to others. Whether you want to invest in your future or just have fun, the TEFL Academy has plenty to offer you.

What would you improve about this program?
I would recommend including more interactive activities within the course. They help from keeping some of the more reading intensive units from dragging on.
