I found the course to be really helpful compared to the other TEFL certification programs I have seen on the internet. Their customer service is also responsive and informative. They have also given me more than enough time to finish my course, which was helpful as I had a rough schedule during my time taking the certification. The only issue that I had with it was that not every video had a transcript, but that is because the video is from YouTube. I am probably just being nitpicky about it. Overall, I had a great time with this certification. Just make sure you will keep all the necessary emails that they will send you.

The diploma is very detailed and tests the student in all the aspects related to teaching English. I enjoyed how interactive it was with many resources given to support the studies. The assessments prepared me well to start applying what I learned in teaching students privately and preparing lesson plans that fit their language needs. I highly recommend the TEFL diploma from the TEFL Academy

I found the course to be a comprehensive learning experience which not only broadened my knowledge of teaching, but my understanding of the English language as a whole. I look forward to putting the skills I learned to good use as an ESL teacher.

A really good, all-around course. Very thorough and detailed. I like that it gave you so many options of teaching methods and the ability to choose what worked for your teaching style.

I also enjoyed the fact that there was so much emphasis on fun and games because I think that this really motivates students. There were also just so many options regarding what games to play. Along with lots of co-linked peer reviewed articles that provided evidence of their usefulness and significance.

Though, one of the only negatives that I can even think of is the sheer amount of information that precedes assignments. It was a bit daunting and overwhelming to look at all that information and not really have a clue about which bits of advice to do and which to leave out. Again, though, this may not be for everyone, but is just my own opinion.

I also sort of feel that feedback might have been a tad more detailed but know that sometimes it is just not possible due to the quantity of students involved.

Overall, I found this course to be very enjoyable and through. It gave me the skills to find confidence in my work and prepared me to feel competent for teaching.

I did my course online and found it very easy to navigate the website and get in contact with student support my feedback on assignments was very good. I’m just looking now for work so far it’s not great but we will see.

A overall amazing, in depth course. Incredibly detailed and extensive. I like that it gave you lots of options of teaching methods and the freedom to choose what aligned with your style as a teacher.

I also appreciated how there was a huge emphasis on fun and games as I agree that this is a massive factor of motivation for students. There were also plenty of options in terms of what games to choose from. As well as lots of linked peer reviewed articles that provided evidence of their efficiency and significance.

However, one of the only negative aspects I can think of is the huge amount of information that prerequisites assignments. I found it a little bit daunting and overwhelming seeing all of that information and not really knowing which pieces of advice to use and which to leave out. Then again, this might not be the case for everyone, but is just my personal opinion.

I also feel as though feedback could have been a little bit more in depth but understand that this is not feasible all the time with the amount of students that there are.
