The Level 5 168-hour online TEFL course has absolutely prepared me to teach English. The modules were incredibly useful, particularly for practicing different ways of eliciting language from students. I was especially impressed with the care they took to realistically simulate classroom interactions.

The assignments were challenging enough that I had the opportunity to use my creativity and think critically, but the modules always prepared me well for the assignment. Overall, I felt like they were really intentional about what is included in the course to best prepare us.

Finally, their online ticket system is phenomenal! They’re really quick to answer any questions that you have, and extremely helpful. Overall the course has definitely exceeded my expectations.

I completed the level 5 (168 hours) TEFL course and I absolutely enjoyed it. It was challenging with good quality activities and assignments. I am particularly pleased with the lesson planning templates as I will be able to use it when I start my new teaching position in January..through this company i also found a new job to teach English as a foreign language. The support is great as are the feedback on the assignments. I will surely recommend this course to my friends. The course take a lot of time so do not take it lightly. The fact that you can retake the tests are great. Lastly I love the support after the course i.e. the application letters templates, links for jobs and other advice and resources available.

I recently completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs). I was really satisfied in all aspects of the course. The administration ran smoothly, the presentation of the course was structured in a logical and progressive way, the assessments were marked accurately and promptly. I have done a few online courses and can truly say that this Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) has really been the an uplifting experience. From enrollment to completion I could sense that the course is backed up by professionalism and competence. Well done to the staff behind this course.

I would definitely recommend this course to any of my friends without hesitation.

Very useful course by the TEFL Academy, sufficiently challenging for a level 5 course. This course fully prepared me for my upcoming teaching English placement in France.

The Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) is a great option for those who are unfamiliar with teaching because it covers all the material you need to become an ESL teacher. It gave me a lot of confidence and I felt more sure of myself in the classroom. I began teaching before I completed this course and the more I learned the more my approach to teaching changed. There are many courses that are cheaper than this course however I don’t feel like they would have prepared me as much as this course.

I have just completed The Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs) and I must say that I am more than ever confident now to be an ESL/EFL teacher. I took the course online and it was really very convenient as I am a full time employee. The lessons and exercises were very helpful and practical. Nevertheless,I think that it is still much better to attend the offline course. The feedback given were very comprehensive, I’ve learned a lot. I am looking forward to taking more courses with The TEFL Academy. Thank you!

I enjoyed the 168 hour level 5 TEFL course as it was new to me. Teaching my first language is not something i ever thought of doing until recently. What i enjoyed the most was the intensive 20 hour classroom time. It reminded me of my student days and the teacher was spot on. She kept the class engaging, fun and educational. Definately worth my 20 hours of weekend.

The online section was informative but i did feel like i wanted to rush to the end of each section just to tick off the boxes. It felt like a game till the assignments came around.

I rated the job assistnace with a neutral 3 stars because i have not tried their system yet. I can’t rate it good or bad.

Overall i would recommend the Tefl academy to anyway who’s looking into traveling and teaching english as a foreign language.

I recently completed the Level 5 TEFL Course (168 hrs)and to say the truth, it exceeded my expectations.

First of all, the online course was perfectly organised and structured. It had a clear introduction which explained everything, so it helps the student move around easily.

Moreover, the course offers all the necessary information which can help both beginner and experienced teachers in enriching their knowledge on teaching English. The quizzes in the end of each unit help revise everything that has been read and learned.

The assignments are challenging enough and they ask the student to brainstorm and find new techniques of teaching.

Finally, for any question, there was always someone ready to help.

All in all, I was really pleased to have taken the course.
