Although I had no prior teaching experience, enrolling in the 120-hour Advanced International TEFL Course has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made. The course offers clear, structured guidance for first-time teachers and has equipped me with invaluable strategies and insights for approaching English Language Teaching effectively.

Having a TEFL qualification also immediately boosts your candidacy for teaching positions, which is a huge bonus.

So far, I’ve worked through a range of valuable and practical tasks that deepened my understanding of modern English teaching methods. I explored key topics such as identifying traditional vs. student-centered approaches, reducing teacher talking time (TTT), understanding different error types (mistakes vs. errors), and applying techniques like eliciting, using gestures, and managing classroom dynamics.

I also matched teaching methods (like TPR, The Silent Way, Suggestopedia) to their characteristics, and learned how to tailor lessons based on student needs, intelligences, and classroom types (monolingual, multilingual, mixed-ability, etc.).

Overall, these tasks helped me build practical skills and a more confident, learner-focused teaching approach. I’m excited to continue learning and would truly appreciate the chance to access more free courses to keep growing.

I’ve just started the course, and I really like how well it’s structured. The material is shared in a fun and engaging way. Anyway, it’s just the beginning, so I’m curious to see what other positive things I’ll be able to add as I go.

These guys were super chill to work with; they always got back to me quickly, and they were nice (rare). The course was packed with interactive elements, so it wasn’t dull at all; it looked great too. Using ChatGPT made learning a lot smoother, and there were numerous cool job options to choose from, honestly, way more than I expected going in.

I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a good experience.

I have made the best decision with this company. I have completed successful courses as 30 hours teaching online course, 30 hours teaching young learners course. Now I am learning to achieve my 180 hour level 5 certificate. I can assure that they provide a super tutor support and the zoom hours are also helpful.

It would be great to gain a 30 hour free course too.

Before starting the course, I expected something mediocre. However, this course surpassed all my expectations. I am too lucky to get acquainted with this staff.

I am currently enrolled in the 180 hours course. Initially, I was really interested with the lessons and it kept me going until I reached the assessment part. To be honest, the assessment is wwwaaaaayyyyy tttooooo llllloooonnnggggg…. It is longer than the modules itself. Perhaps the assessment can be done better as I don’t think it really measures what are supposed to be measured. Please review this. Thanks!
