I decided to do a TEFL course because teaching abroad has been my lifetime ambition and before having discovered the course I hadn`t thought that there was any possibility I would ever do it because I`m not a native English speaker. Now with the TEFL certificate, I can look for a job abroad, which means I`m finally starting to approach my goal.

I chose TEFL Academy and studied their Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs). The course was absolutely great, I enjoyed every minute of it. All the information was clear, substantial and carefully structured, there were lots of interactive practice exercises and links to useful sites and resources. I particularly enjoyed the sections about different approaches to ELT, course planning and using authentical materials.

The unit tests provided opportunities to check what was actually learned and filled me with a sense of achievement. The tree assignments seemed incredibly complex at first and I was really scared and even doubted my ability to complete them, but there were a lot of guidance and detailed explanations for every single task that I actually did everything well and got a Distinction mark, which is still a source of a great joy and excitement for me.

Unfortunately, I didn`t have an opportunity to teach a real class but I`m sure that now I have all the necessary tools to feel confident and well-prepared when I have to do it in my future job.

I gained a lot of knowledge and experience doing this course, and can`t wait for applying for my dream job.

A TEFL certificate is required for teaching in China so I had to do the course. Initially I saw it as just another stumbling block to overcome, but after the first few lessons I started to appreciate the level of the course.

Apart from giving instruction in other disciplines, I had no other teaching experience. The gradual increase in the difficulty level of the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) really helped to gain insight and experience in teaching in general.

The assignments prepare future teachers very well to be able to present and conduct meaningful lessons with different levels of students.

I am not planning to teach ESL but scientific subjects such as mathematics, physics and geography in future. Despite this the course was still very meaningful to me because the basics of lesson plans and vocabulary also apply to these subjects.

Apart from doing a full-time teaching degree or diploma, I consider the TEFL course as the most valuable that I could have done. More experience will obviously be gained as I dig into the methodology of teaching, but at least a firm foundation was laid by this course.

I have really enjoyed my time with TEFL, I found the course easy to complete and the feedback from my assignments to be very thorough which has helped me gained more knowledge into the world of teaching. I especially love all the opportunities for volunteer work, internships and their daily emails about job placements all over the world!

I completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs). I was very satisfied with the class. The materials were informative. The projects required were challenging but practical. I do not have knowledge about their job placements. However, I would recommend this course.

On my Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs), I was able to work at my own pace and confirm my knowledge at the end of each unit test. In some activities involving ‘drag and drop’ I needed to reduce the text size drastically to fit all onto my screen, so I think a review of those layouts would be beneficial. The instructions for the assignments were very clear and I felt I learned even more when preparing them. The course covered all aspects of teaching English as a foreign language and I feel well equipped for a future in this field.

My Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) experience was overwhelmingly rewarding in terms of the support I got, the abundance of constructive feedback, the guidance, and excellent content. Not only do they teach you the basics, such drawing up a lesson plan, teaching grammar, dealing with monolingual and multilingual classes, etc. But they also teach you behavioral/social skills on how to conduct a class of different cultures, races, age groups in a sensitive manner, which is important if you’re planning on teaching in a different country. Although I enjoyed the liberty of studying online, I also found the 20 hours attendance classes to be quite informative. Overall, great course

As you might guess i did this online course because i want to teach overseas.

I am very satisfied.

The course contained everything you need to know to teach english overseas. If i needed help i got it very fast.

If i made mistakes the tutor told me what to do better next time.

I recommend everyone who wants to teach english overseas

to do his Tefl here.
