I want to thank the teachers who helped grade and provided feedback. I have just completed the level 5 diploma course. I have already been teaching for the last 4 years, but this has been a very enriching experience. Taking this course has greatly improved my teaching capabilities. Thanks to this course, I have walked out with a greater sense of accomplishment. I feel this will help me to advance in my profession. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to understand different teaching methods and how to cater more to the students’ needs. The program is flexible and well-suited for those working part-time to full-time hours. I wish there had been more exercises to reinforce what I was learning, but overall, it was very well structured.

I enrolled in the TEFL level 5 course on a whim at the beginning of the year, as combining teaching English with travelling has been something I’ve been interested in for a long time. It appealed particularly as it is all online and flexible learning, which fit perfectly with my already working full time and studying part time.

I really appreciated how the course content and the assignment guidelines and expectations are so clearly set out!

The assignments are only marked on a pass/fail basis. I personally prefer a grading system as it allows me to feel more confident in where I am at and what I might need to work on, but feedback is given for each one too, and the staff were super helpful throughout!

I am looking forward to seeing what opportunities this leads to in future!

I was motivated to learn using The TEFL Academy when I saw the rankings of the best institutes for learning EFL teaching. After taking the level 5 course, I found it to be a satisfying learning experience. It is flexible with my time, and they provide plenty of useful resources for extra studying. The assignment correction process is easy and very fast. The templates are simple and there are many examples in the model templates to know how the instructor will evaluate you. On the other hand, I would have preferred to receive feedback from the instructor if the assignment received a pass because it helps me understand the area for improvement.

The videos, quizzes, and activities help the learner be more involved in the learning process. I think The TEFL Academy is an excellent platform to learn how to become an EFL teacher.

I recently completed the Level 5 TEFL course, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The course content was well structured, packed with very useful teaching strategies. The assignments were well designed and challenging in the best way, they pushed me to apply what I’d learned and I personally found them incredibly helpful.

It would have been even more helpful if they had included content on online teaching within the main course for those who choose that path. Overall, I enjoyed the course and learned a lot throughout, I feel much more confident to start teaching.

I just completed my TEFL certification with The TEFL Academy and I have not been happier! The curriculum had all the resources and requirements that a language teacher would need. TTA is very practical and to the point and has a lot of resources and suggests a lot of methodologies that can be really effective in the classroom. The difficulty level of the assignments were gradually becoming challenging, which is quite necessary to check the competency of language teachers. The feedback were also detailed.

One thing I really appreciate is the prompt responses that I was getting from the support team. They always made sure that all my doubts were addressed promptly. The dashboard also was user-friendly, and I could navigate through the entire curriculum easily.

Kudos to the entire team behind TTA, because you’re one of the best!!

I am very happy with the course I took on the platform. The material is really extensive, while the structure of lessons is not too intense and well delivered in short, comprehensive pieces.

There is a lot of ways of conveying knowledge, other than walls of text, which refreshes long studying hours.

I am yet to use all the tools provided that are concerned with looking for a job after receiving the certificate, but I want to share my appreciation for how much the platform cares for it’s students by granting these types of tools.

I also really appreciate how accessible the course is. Studying while also working and, well, having a life was much less of a task than I was afraid it would be, thanks to how this platform is set up. I also really appreciate the price, it’s very good for value gained from it.

I will be looking for another course on this platform, when it will become necessary for my carrier as a teacher.

Thank you and cheers,

Kacper from Poland

I completed this course while working. I found the course content and teaching very easy to become accustomed to and found it easy to work through the course. I did however struggle to complete the course without disrupting my home life and I wish that I had planned more effectively and/or received a basic timetable of the bare minimal daily work in order to complete the course in time. Please contact me should you need further clarification. The assignments were very thought provocative and I found they were good practice for teaching. The examiners were wonderful with their comments and assistance. I obtained a pass on the second assignment and wished that I could have made another attempt to obtain a distinction, which was obviously preferred, but unfortunately the rules have been set that I could not do that. I have already recommend this course to a few of my friends and look forward to hearing about their success herein. Thank you for an amazing program!

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.
