I would like to recommend the TEFL academy if you want to get a TEFL certificate. The online class is well structured and resourceful and the feedback of the assignments is professional.

For some suggestions is that the job sites and assistance isn’t have too many choices after the class. It still need yourself to find out which one is best for you, but it’s okay that a lot of free resources on YouTube will help:)

Overall, I like the class isn’t traditional class just read the article, but it provides some interaction part between some knowledge checkpoints, really help me to memorize and not get bored.

Thanks the TEFL academy to help me get my TEFL Level 5 certificate:)

I recently completed a TEFL course and had a generally positive experience, but there are a few areas where I believe improvements could be made.

One of the aspects I appreciated most was the flexibility of the course. The absence of strict time requirements per section allowed me to progress at my own pace, which was particularly helpful given my schedule of being a full time university student. The built-in “Test Your Knowledge” sections and mini-tests throughout the course helped reinforce key concepts and ensured I understood the material before moving on.

However, I would have preferred access to all assignments from the start. Being able to review them in advance would have helped me plan my workload more effectively and make stronger connections between the course content and the assessments. Additionally, while the revised templates made assignments clearer and easier to complete, the initial versions were somewhat confusing and discouraging. A more straightforward structure from the beginning would have been beneficial.

Another area for improvement is the grading system. Receiving only a pass/fail mark for assignments felt limiting; a percentage score would have provided more detailed feedback on my performance. Lastly, a countdown indicating how much time remained until the course expired would have been a useful feature for better time management.

Overall, I would recommend this course to others but advise them to be proactive in organizing their study plan.

First things first, a huge thanks to the TEFL Academy staff for their hard work. There are so many TEFL providers out there, but I’m very glad I chose the TEFL Academy for my studies.

All the lessons are clear, very well-structured, and it’s obvious that a team of professionals worked on them, as the pacing is perfect and the content is easy to understand. Each lesson includes plenty of revision, so you’d have to be extremely distracted to miss the key points.

As for the assignments, they don’t just check your understanding of previous lessons—they also give you the chance to practice essential teaching skills in a safe environment. The student support service is also excellent; responses are quick, and the system is very easy to use.

Overall, I am very happy with this course, the tutors, and the feedback I have received. Thanks again to the whole team!
