I took this TEFL course to get a practical grounding in English teaching, and overall it was a solid experience. The course is well organized and easy to follow, and the modules build on each other in a way that makes things like grammar explanations and lesson planning feel manageable rather than overwhelming. I found the focus on lesson structure and anticipating student problems especially useful, since those are skills you actually use in the classroom. The self-paced format was also a big plus, as it made it easy to fit the course around other commitments.

While the course is strong overall, I think it could be even better with a few more real classroom examples, such as short teaching videos or lesson walkthroughs. This would add another layer of practical insight, especially for people who are completely new to teaching. If I were taking the course again, I’d simply supplement it with some extra observation or practice. That said, the course provides a clear, useful foundation and left me feeling confident about moving forward as a teacher.

Completing the Level 5 TEFL course was a significant step up from standard certifications. The depth of the material, especially regarding applied linguistics and advanced classroom methodology, exceeded my expectations.

The assignments were challenging but highly relevant, forcing me to think critically about how to adapt my teaching to different learner needs. I now feel fully prepared to teach English in professional environments worldwide. Highly recommended for anyone serious about a career in ELT!

My overall experience was great. The self-paced learning program allowed me to study at my own time and manage my schedule effectively. The lessons were well-structured, clear, and easy to understand.

The course covered important topics such as lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching strategies for different learner levels. The activities and assessments helped reinforce what I learned and made the course practical, not just theoretical.

Overall, this self-paced online TEFL course helped improve my confidence and skills as an ESL teacher. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flexible and effective way to earn a TEFL certification.
