I thoroughly enjoyed doing this course. The instructor on the weekend course in Sydney was so interesting, and a fabulous teacher, and I would have loved to spend an extra few days there learning from him. I found the assignments very challenging, and had to think very carefully through my assignment. Thanks so much for your help, and looking forward to teaching soon!

I found the course very easy to navigate.

Learner support was prompt and efficient and feedback given was very constructive.

The course material was of a high standard and the links to external reading material were very useful.

I managed to complete it while teaching full time.

I would highly recommend it to others.

I have recently completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs). I am extremely satisfied with both the online and classroom aspect of this course.

I found the online aspect of the course to be very thorough. Initially, I was worried that I would find studying online complicated but I found that the layout of each module was easy to follow and managed to keep me engaged. The end of unit tests reinforced the key learning points and helped me to consolidate my knowledge. I found the assignments to be challenging but very rewarding. They do require a great amount of effort but I found that they ultimately made me more confident in my ability to be a teacher as they are so practical.

As part of the course I also completed 20 hours in a classroom with a teacher and other people who were also doing the course. I found that the classroom element really brought the online content to life. Our teacher focused on the main components of the online course which allowed us to witness different methods being used in the classroom. We found ourselves using the teaching methods we had been learning about on each other which assisted us greatly in learning how they would be introduced and utilized in a real life classroom. Our teacher was fun and engaging and extremely motivating. I found it extremely useful to learn from someone who has had so much experience in TEFL. My only recommendation would be that more hours be added on to the classroom element as it really does assist you in how to use all the information you are learning online.

Overall, both the online and classroom element of the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) equipped me with all the necessary skills and knowledge required to work in this area.

I just completed my TEFL Level 5 course (168 hrs) and have had a wonderful experience throughout the course. The course introduced a whole new world of English teaching and equipped me with new ideas and fun ways of teaching to language as a forge in language.

The length of each Unit was adequate and didn’t lose one’s attention span and drew one to the subject matter of lesson. The end of unit tests and quizzes were a wonderful way to keep one focused on what they were learning.

The only thing I would add would be more content for adult teaching.

My overall experience was great…and I cannot wait to go out there and teach. I would recommend the course to anyone that would love a change in career or those that have a passion for teaching and would like to change the world in a small but significant way

I finished my ”Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs)” a few weeks ago and I was more than satisfied.

The instructions to this course were straightforward and easy to follow. The website layout was also user friendly.

The tests and the assignments helped me consolidate and reinforce what I have learnt.

Generally, I found the whole process efficient, I was able to happily pass with a distinction and I totally recommend this course to anyone (expert or not ) who wants to take a further step in their education ability.
