Dear TEFL Academy, thank you! I am very happy I have finished the course and that I have chosen your academy. It gives English teachers a great chance to travel and to work with people in different countries, which is extremely interesting for anybody. Each module is so informative and useful that I would recommend this course even to those teachers who are not going to work abroad, as it helps to systematize your knowledge and make sure your lessons are well planned, and interesting for students. Thank you.

Woohoo I’m finished ☺️ I am so happy I picked the TEFL academy to do my TEFL course with. Each module was so informative and I learned so much. All the tests and assignments kept me on my feet. It is such a flexible course. I work full time and I was able to complete the course to fit in with my schedule. I am so excited to travel the world and having this course opens so many doors for me. Thank you TEFL academy. I 100% recommend this to anyone who wants to travel.

Phew,i’m so glad i’m officially done with my course and i can teach English as a second language. Enrolling with The TEFL academy was one of the best decisions i have ever made with regards to my academics. The student support system is phenomenal. The assistance i got from my tutors was exceptional and very helpful.

The study material is well documented and it prepares you as a teacher. I’m currently working as teacher but when i worked on the lesson plans provided by the academy, i was challenged and inspired. The lesson planning is quite effective and it enables the teacher to achieve the desired outcome.

I have studied a couple of times on-line with other institutions, but clearly The TEFL academy tops the list. Service is is excellent and i shall share to friends and family the wonderful experience i had

Signing up to TEFL was one of the best things I have ever done. I found the 20 hours in the class with the teacher really beneficial and worthwhile and the online course really informative. The course was structured really well, and whilst I found the tests and assignments somewhat challenging, I felt a real sense of achievement once they were completed. I also recommend buying the TEFL handbooks as they are so well presented and really helpful when looking for new ideas and resources and information on how to teach certain things.

I have just completed the 120h course with a distinction. when I have read the forums about the assignments I really had a hard time waiting for my first results as many people were not getting it right the first time according their messages. However, it all went extremely well and I can just say that if you follow the guidelines as given throughout the lessons, you will not fail. After my one class this week I suddenly realized that my lessons are worked out according to the plans I have just learnt, so my 20 years of robotics teaching was not that far off but now I know the reasons why I should do things certain ways. Thank you very much for this opportunity.

One thing that I would like to ask is that a PDF certificate is available for download as part of the fees. For some reason South Africa only gets a printed one send by mail and this makes it difficult when you have to send out your CV with copies of your certificates.

I’ve just finished the 120 hour online TEFL course and I am extremely satisfied with how it was presented. The course offers step-by-step guidance on how every aspect of teaching an L2 lesson should be approached, planned and executed. It also enables you to sharp-up on your own English literacy through a comprehensive, yet concise combination of theory and practical activities. The course also provides personal, in-depth feedback so that you know exactly what your strengths and shortcomings were in planning a lesson for a specific class. The only reason I haven’t given perfect ratings for Practice Teaching and Job Placement. is because I haven’t applied for a teaching job yet and, as I had done the online course, I haven’t had a chance to teach a real class yet. Overall, I am very impressed with what the course offers.

I just finished my TEFL course. First of all the 20 hr training was very good and i could apply what i have learnt there in the online course. The content of the Modules was great and the tests really gave me a eye opener to work hard and get good grades. It was not a walk in the park though, you really had to work hard. The assignments was a great challenge it was not easy. Hard work really played a big role. I was super happy with my tests results and my assignment results. I am ready to apply what i have learnt and i will definitely recommend anybody to do the course. TEFL is the best.

Very happy to say I just qualified with a distinction, loved the course enjoyed learning a different take on English teaching. I still need to set up my CV so at this point I am unable to rate job placement or facilities.

I have been studying for years so at first, I thought this would be a breeze. I was pleasantly surprised at the intensity, quality and difficulty levels so yes it challenging.

Very excited to apply what I have learnt.
