I completed The TEFL Academy Level 5 TEFL certificate. I enjoyed the course content, it was easy to understand and follow. The layout was student-friendly. I was happy with the colorful content – texts, pictures, videos, feedbacks. Although sometimes I found the videos too long. (It was a good idea having their transcripts available though.) I would recommend checking and correcting the feedbacks students give you during a course (this is the space where we can give you answers to different questions in a lesson). Because sometimes students can give answers that are not relevant or helpful. Overall the course was engaging and easy to follow. I highly recommend The TEFL Academy to start a TEFL career. I cannot wait to explore mine.

I am very satisfied with the course. I gained experience in creating various lesson plans in practice.

What I really liked throughout the course is that we were given the theory but all the theory was expected to put in practice. This is what most of the training providers do not expect just the theory.

I am currently employed as a EFL teacher in a primary school. I feel I got an updated on the current teaching trends and methods which are really useful. I believe I can do my work in a more professional way.

Regarding the Assignments, I was very happy to get a handbook, to have an opportunity to participate in webinars which were focused on the Assignments critera. I can say that the trainers did their best to explain us the steps how to complete each Assignment.

I recommend the course everyone who wants to boost up her/his tools in teaching English as a Foreign Language.

The level 5 course taught me so much about teaching. It showed every part of how to plan a lesson, the information around grammar, vocabulary, how to organize a classroom, what issues you might run in to and so many amazing resoruces I know I am going to use on my teaching journey. I cant wait to start applying and this marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and I have The TEFL Academy to thank for that. Amazing course. If you are hesitant to get it, I would abolutly recomend you go to for it. You never know what amazing adventures will unfold.

I completed the level 5 TEFL course and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a French teacher (French as a foreign language) for over 20 years and wanted to explore teaching English as a second language to expand my horizons. As my degree is in English, I was already familiar with the linguistics component of the course and it brought me back to my university days!

The course is well designed, broken down in structured units with knowledge quizzes and and end of unit assessments.

The 3 assignments were interesting, the third one being my favourite to work on as it gives you opportunities to self reflect.

I didn’t need to get help from Tutor support although it is available to you. The course is straightforward enough that you can understand all the elements involved in each unit.

The inclusion of videos and links to articles also gave an opportunity to delve deeper into topics and I would recommend copying the links onto a document for future references.

All in all, it is a great course to complete when you already teach a foreign language or want to start a career teaching ESL.

A brilliant course which you can do at your own pace and in your own time. Very supportive programme with lots of opportunities to learn the content in different ways (videos, reading, online forums, quizzes).

Highly recommend – the TEFL Academy will absolutely set you up for a career in teaching!
