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 🙏

Taking a TEFL course was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my personal and professional growth. The course provided a solid foundation in English grammar, lesson planning, and classroom management. It was well-structured, interactive, and practical—designed to prepare teachers for real-world teaching, whether in-person or online.

What stood out most was how it boosted my confidence. Even without prior teaching experience, I felt ready to enter a classroom and engage students from different cultures. The certification opened doors to teaching opportunities around the world, and I’ve since taught in [insert country or context, if relevant].

Whether you’re looking to travel, switch careers, or make a difference through education, TEFL is a smart, flexible pathway. I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about teaching and exploring the world.

I recently completed my TEFL certification with The TEFL Academy. This was my first time doing a course completely online and had the most amazing experience throughout my journey. I have already started using a methods that I learnt here. The entire curriculum is practical and to the point. The portal is so user friendly and I was able to navigate through the entire dashboard easily. TTA has helped me practice a lot of methodologies in my teaching already. The support team was always in touch with me, promptly solving all my doubts. I can’t wait to do more courses on TTA! Kudos to the entire team behind TTA. You’re the best!

I did the online course for level five, and everything that I needed to pass this course was provided for me. The pro of doing it online is that I could do it at a time that was convenient for me, at a pace that worked with my schedule. I never had any issues with submitting or getting feedback for my grades or assignments. All the resources were easy to access and everything was clearly explained; such as how to submit or how to give feedback or taking test.
