I studied the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs).

The instructions to this course was straight forward and easy to follow.

The website layout is also user friendly and the replies are always prompt. The content was very informative and it prepares you well for teaching a class. It also gives you some valuable knowledge for working with people from different parts of the world.

I really enjoyed studying the Level 5 Tefl course (168 hours), it was not too time consuming and fitted in well with my work commitments. The course was interesting and easy to follow, giving relevant and clear advice and information throughout. The exercises were fun, and user friendly, and helped to consolidate and reinforce what you have learnt in the lesson. Although the three assignments were more challenging, you are given plenty of guidance and advice, and there is support easily available. I highly recommend this course, and having a gained a distinction, I now feel more confident with greater self-esteem.

I completed the 168 hour online course and found the experience to be great. It provides a knowledge of what it means to teach English, it introduces you to what it means to truly understand the English language and provides challenge going assessments to put all of the above into practice. The assignments are then assessed and very helpful feedback is given. Highly recommend this course.

I have finished my Level 5 (168 hours) TEFL course this month. The online course was very detailed and every instruction was clear. The online course made it easy for me to pick up where I left off, finish assignments and use the resources available. All the units had a directed aim and the tests definitely tested if one understood the content.

This course is a full package. TEFL Academy made a wise choice not to separate the phases, and included all the phases from Elementary level to advanced level, giving us the opportunity to decide what phase we would like to teach.

I also attended the 20-hour classroom teaching and learning. Our tutor was an all-in-one tutor. She taught us to think out of the box and not to get trapped in using the tactics our past teachers used. All the lessons were well prepared, she was also active in class, making the experience a lot of fun.

I have already recommended TEFL Academy (Level 5) to my friends.

I took the online course and found it very well structured and easy to fit into my daily routine. The instructors and academic support responded promptly to any queries and were very helpful so any issues I had were dealt with quickly and efficiently. On top of that, the feedback was very useful for improving my work.

I found the course content to be of high quality and was very relevant, the workbooks supplied were very useful for keeping track and reinforcing my learning. I found the whole process to be straightforward and efficient, I was able to happily pass with a distinction whilst working full time alongside my course.

I have finished my Level 5 (168 hours) TEFL course last week. There was nothing confusing on the instructions of the online course, everything is written in black and white. The online course is clearly and well structured. All the units are so informative and I gained more teachings skills and approaches.

This course is a full package. TEFL Academy took a wise decision to not separate the phases, and included all the phases from Elementary level to advanced level, since we may never know what level of students we are going to teach in the near future.

I am now a pro of writing a lesson plan. Yes, I know about lesson plans as I ‘m a qualified teacher, but I knew nothing about the section of TEACHER AND STUDENT INTERACTION during the lesson.

I learnt a lot, I can even write a book. The part about coursebook evaluation was also more important for me.

I also attended the 20-hour classroom teaching and learning. Our tutor was a all-in-one tutor. She’s always on time, well prepared for the lessons, she was active in class, she was professional and approachable at the same time. After attending the classes, I found some units more clearer than before, especially the Phonetic part.

I have already recommended TEFL Academy (Level 5) to my friends.

I am so happy that I have completed Level 5 (168 hours) TEFL academy course. I felt supported all the way through the course. I really like the way each unit is organized and it contains a plenty of practice. Some of the end unit test questions were not covering the notes from the currant unit that I was doing but I managed to pass anyway.

The number of internet teaching resources included in the TEFL course is enormous and very helpful for a beginner teacher.

I especially benefited from the 20 hours of practical teaching weekend.

I will gladly recommend you to my friends.

Many thanks for helping me to achieve my goal.

I completed my Level 5 Tefl Course a few weeks ago. I was impressed with the efficiency and obvious thought process that was put into the course design. I learned aspects of teaching methods that will indefinitely assist me in my future endeavors as an English teacher. The assignments were challenging and slightly daunting at first glance, but the step-by-step guide and templates provided in the outline made it possible to complete. The end of unit tests sometimes did not directly relate to the content of the unit , which sometimes made it unclear to what extent of note-taking was necessary.

All in all the course was extremely well designed and i am happy that i completed my TEFL through this channel.

Upon completing the course i have used the resources provided by the website to apply for jobs abroad.
