I recently completed the TEFL Institution’s 120-hour course, and overall, I found it to be a valuable and informative introduction to teaching English as a foreign language. The course provided a solid foundation in key areas such as lesson planning, grammar instruction, and classroom management.

One of the aspects I appreciated most was the clear structure of the modules. Each section was broken down into manageable units, making it easy to progress at my own pace while still retaining the information. The examples of lesson plans and teaching strategies were particularly helpful because they showed how the theories introduced in the course could be applied in real classroom situations

I have just finished the 120-hour TEFL course. I got a lot of useful information from it. The course is quite challenging because you have to remember many details, so I suggest being prepared to study hard. The only drawback is that the course navigation is difficult to understand at first, but you can always ask your teacher for help. However, I still recommend this course to anyone who wants to become highly qualified.

I recently completed my 300-hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The course was packed with valuable content, and I learned a great deal from the comprehensive curriculum. Throughout my studies, the team provided excellent support and guidance, always responding with kindness and professionalism. A special mention must go to Lisa; her encouragement and positivity were such a driving force for me. She’s a real gem who made the whole journey even more enjoyable. I’m now excited to put everything I’ve learned into practice with my future learners.

Excellent support and customer service
