The TEFL Level 3 course provided a solid foundation for teaching English abroad. The content was well-structured, offering a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical applications. The platform was user-friendly, and the assessments effectively gauged my understanding. The inclusion of real-world teaching scenarios enhanced its relevance. However, more interactive elements could enhance the overall learning experience. Nonetheless, a worthwhile program for those seeking an entry-level TEFL certification.

The 120-hour TEFL course was a perfect option for someone like me who wished to earn my TEFL on my own time and online. I felt the course integrated multimedia well. The course content was modern, and engaging and provided a good foundation for starting your career in TEFL.

The support from staff was timely and empathetic, and feedback on assignments was very thorough.

I plan to tell my family and friends about the course so they can start their TEFL journeys right.

I have truly enjoyed my journey with TEFL.

1. The course was doable, I could not complete due to some other work I had, but I was still able to buy an extension 1 year later.

2. The helpful and friendly staff always responded to my email immediately.

3. The assignment feedback was encouraging and helpful.

4. The job portal, C. V. and cover page template TEFL provided was amazing. I already have 3 interviews and it hasn’t even been 1 week since I completed TEFL.

5. The after care treatment is very impressive, they attended to my queries efficiently and helped with queries regarding employers requirements.

Overall I was initially skeptical about TEFL, and thought maybe it’s just hype, but honestly after doing it, and getting these interviews and the continued professional after care service of my by TEFL. I am so happy and grateful for the money I paid for my Level 5 TEFL.

I have truly enjoyed my time with TEFL, and this is why.

1. The course was doable to complete within the given time. I actually started last year, but then my other work distracted me. I was grateful and amazed to find out that I was still able to buy an extension 1 year later. Which means I paid only a small fee rather than loosing all my money, or paying double. I was then able to complete my level 5 course on time.

2. Whenever I got stuck the helpful and friendly staff always responded to my email within a few hours.

3. The assignment feedback was both encouraging and helpful in making me more adequate in the course.

4. Once I completed the course I immediately used the C. V. and cover page template TEFL provided and applied for a few jobs from the website. I already have 3 interviews and it hasn’t even been 1 week since I completed TEFL.

5. The after care treatment is very impressive as well, they attended to my queries very quickly, and when I asked for advice on something the interviewing company wanted they were very very happy and helpful in providing a solution.

Overall, I was at first skeptical about TEFL, and thought that maybe it’s just hype, but honestly after doing it, and getting these interviews (getting a job is hard) and the continued professional after care service of me by TEFL. I am so happy and grateful for the money I paid for my Level 5 TEFL.

Amazing course and definitely value for money. The content was well organized and explained.

Everything was thought through and explained in a user friendly way.

The feedback was outstanding, every answer was explained and examples was given. Although you passed the assignment, there was still amazing feedback on how to excel in the task when you apply for an opportunity.

Would definitely recommend TEFL Academy.

My friend studied her certificate through a different facility and this one is by far the best option there is for a TEFL certificate.

Thank you for all the assistance!

Overall good course. There is more than sufficient time to complete course part time. I completed my level 5 course within 2-3 month and I took my time. The course is very focused on lesson planning assignments and has good feedback and guidance on assignments. TTA has frequent specials and I would definitely recommend keeping a lookout for them. It is worth every penny.

I enjoyed the level 5 TEFL course, especially due to the incorporation of multimedia to assist with learning. The content is also relevant and well researched.

What makes TEFL genuinely worth-it though is the fact that it does help with securing new jobs.

I am impressed with my experience and have already recommended it to some friends and family members.

I believe this TEFL course was great value for money! It was a very in-depth online course that covered everything a potential English teacher could need to know. Additionally, the assessments were specific to the responsibilities and duties of a teacher, which helped me feel prepared for my teaching career. I was definitely surprised at the quality, given that it’s an online diploma!

I also completed the in-person training day, which was highly valuable. My instructor was amazing and helped answer all of our answers and concerns. He made us feel comfortable and safe in the space, so you never worried about looking silly or saying the wrong thing; you knew you could simply focus on developing your attributes and skills as a teacher.

I chose The TEFL Academy because of its pricing – it was one of the cheaper options whilst still seeming reasonable enough for a Qualifi certified course. I’m so grateful I didn’t end up spending over $2,000 for my TEFL, especially as I believe I received a quality education from this institution. I was also able to fit this study around my university degree, stopping and starting the content as my university commitments shifted. Even so, this certificate certainly required a fair bit of effort over the months I completed it!

All in all, I would recommend this course due to its cost, the quality of its content and the flexibility regarding your workload.

I was very apprehensive about this course as I had not studied in a long time and never online. I really enjoyed the Level 5 course. Communication from registration to receiving certificate was excellent. Online modules were user-friendly and material was interesting. Assignments were challenging but feedback was great. Additional resource lists were very helpful and I’m sure I will use them in my teaching.

The course content is broad and rich with very systematic course structure. Apart from evergreen teaching topics, I also appreciate the up-to-date teaching issues like online class tips and digital material application. The assignments are carefully designed for helping students to reinforce knowledge learned.
