I really enjoyed the TEFL course it was structured really well. I loved all the resources that were given especially regarding teaching after you complete the course. It was very easy to follow and perfect for me as K could work at my own pace.

The only thing I wish was provided was more real lesson examples in real time for example observing an actual class in real time.

Highly recommend this course, clear structure and excellent activities to consolidate learning. This course provides good teaching resources; however, there is no opportunity to access the content after 6 months. It would be incredibly useful to have copies for recap when needed.

My experience with the TEFL academy was such a positive, rewarding experience! I started my journey without knowing what I was truly getting myself into, but I the course is set up in such a way that I was guided every step of the way and never doubted what I needed to do.

I was also pleasantly surprised that the course content was substantial, and the amount of work I was required to do was weighted and intense – this left me assured that I was completing a decent, valuable and credible qualification where I was actually learning something!

The assignments were set-up so well, and it forced me to engage and consolidate the work in the modules effectively.

Overall, I am incredibly impressed with this course and after completing it I feel knowledgeable about TEFL!

I am so happy with myself that I finally made the best decision to join the TEFL Academy for my TEFL 5 Diploma. My overall rating for the course is excellent. I enjoyed receiving timely feedback from the instructors through email or the platform.

The course content, teaching practice, Lesson planning guidance, and feedback are thorough and helpful. Job assistance is very good.

I have had a few companies reach out to me for interviews, and several teachers have shown interest and are willing to enroll.

I recommend TEFL for Teachers who are planning to teach overseas and those who are seeking to grow their teaching skills.

I really enjoyed taking the TEFL level 5 course. Each section is constructed in a concise, efficient manner. Every lesson introduces something new and interesting, while building off of the preceding lesson nicely. Something that may have seemed frightening to pursue, feels simple. I’m happy to say that I now feel prepared for my TEFL journey.

I did not know what to expect going into this course and I can say it exceeded my expectations and I’ve never been so proud to get a certificate. Not only did I learn so much about what it takes to be a teacher, it opened my perspective in a lot of aspects with exactly how to do it. I learnt so much throughout this course and it was challenging enough to make me reach out for support which was, in turn, easy to understand and thoroughly explained. I am so glad I took this course and the amount of job opportunities provided with it is astonishing. I now have an idea of what I want my career to look like thanks to this and I cannot be more grateful.

One of the best ways to measure a course is by how many different things you learn about yourself that you were not even aware of

This course has the capacity to put both your strengths and weaknesses in the limelight: be ready to improve

By means of a series of well thought-out Units you will progressively sharpen your skills to reach unsuspected heights

Welcome aboard, don’t forget to enjoy the ride! 🙂

The TEFL academy delivers on its promises and there are multiple positives with only a few suggestions for improvement. Firstly, they provide a curriculum that is easy to follow, especially for part-time students who may work at their own pace. The resources are also very good and I am glad to have made use of them or saving them when possible. The assignments were well thought out and the feedback given gave me the impression that the people marking them really cared about learning.

An area of improvement may be to add a few more different assessments than just quizzes and the ability for past students to save more resources. The amount of information provided in large chunks can also seem daunting to newcomers, so perhaps partitioning it off into more sections may help.

If you are wondering whether to use the TEFL academy, I say go for it. They also offer great deals.

Thanks

I would definitely recommend the TEFL certification to any professional, whether you aspire to become a teacher or not.

I personally chose the specific enrolment to the highest level – TEFL level 5 with an abc attachment feedback. I feel much more comfortable during my financial presentations at work, I use proficient vocabulary words, and feel very grateful to my English teacher’s support and suggestion to start and complete this teaching journey.

I feel that I have now a possibility to another career opportunity in lieu of Finance. THANK YOU 🙏
