I would definitely recommend the TEFL Academy to anyone who is interested in teaching overseas. By having the online and in-class options has provided the opportunity to understand more about teaching English as a foreign language. The course is easy to understand and tutors are always willing to help if needed. The 6 month timeline allows you to work at your own pace while ensuring you learn all the skills necessary throughout the course. However, an option is also provided to extend the course past the 6 months if more time is required.

I really liked the length of the course and felt it could easily be completed within 3 months. Lesson plans were comprehensive and well explained. The assignments that end the course were also not too over-complicated. The cost of the course is what initally attracted me to this (approx 250 euro) and the 20 hours of face to face teaching were incredibly helpful.

I am really pleased to have completed the 120 hour TEFL course. The online lessons are perfect for people who enjoy working at their own pace and the 20 hour weekend with a teacher is great to practice the skills you learn. I recommend spending the 20 hour weekend once you have completed the 10 online modules so that you can make the most out of it. A really rewarding and enjoyable course.

I signed up to the 120 hour combined course with The TEFL Academy in January; I did so mainly to try/learn something new. However, over these months I have thoroughly enjoyed studying and the course has inspired me to actively seek work as a teacher.

The classroom based element of the course was delivered by a fantastic instructor (patient, engaging, knowledgable etc…)- my only criticism would be that the 20 hours of classroom based learning are delivered over just two days which is rather intense. Personally, I would have preferred the 20 hours to be delivered over three days as this may have helped me to assimilate the material. Nonetheless, the two days offered invaluable learning and the opportunity to practice planning/teaching language lessons.

The online element of the course I cannot criticise. I found the material to be really accessible, really engaging and I have genuinely enjoyed working on my assignments. The instructions were clear and the tasks were relevant/interesting.

I highly recommend this course.

My overall experience with TEFL Academy has been nothing but good. I was able to work and study at my own pace, learned a lot of new things and refreshed my memory from my studies.

I was very pleased with the fact that I needed to engage my brain while studying for this certificate. Also I loved working on my final assignments because it forced me to put myself in the position of an actual teacher. The comments on my assignments were very helpful and insightful.

The only reason I gave three stars on Job Placement is because I can’t say if it is good or not as I haven’t had the chance to look for a job in that field yet.

I’m happy with the experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learned a lot. I now feel prepared and ready to go into the classroom. The information is plenty and though it sometimes feels repetitive it is clear that this is to ensure understanding.

The end of module tests are helpful to track progress and the end of course assignments are challenging but interesting.

I have just completed the 120 hour online tefl course, which I found was very clear and easy to follow. I found the course challenging but very rewarding. I have learnt a lot from this course and am now very confident to provide good teaching skills for students wishing to learn English as a foreign language. This qualification has opened many opportunities for me, as I am now living in france and wish to use my first language to my advantage.

This was the challenge I needed to fill my student summer holiday. I particularly loved the 20 hour classroom element as you met like-minded individuals, made friends, and got a real feel for the practical element of teaching. The TEFL course is fun, engaging and a great gateway to travel whilst working.

I am yet to complete my university degree, but afterwards I look forward to using my certificate to travel the world.

Thank you TEFL Academy!

I am pleased to have completed the online Tefl course. I am confident the course helped me to become a fully equipped English teacher and I am looking forward to putting my new knowledge into practice. The course was easy to use, the website worked well and the assignments were exciting to work on. The feedback was a bit generic as I put a lot of effort and work into my assignments and I would have liked more specific feedback on my teaching products. But overall it was worth the while.
