I recently completed the 120-hour TEFL course with The TEFL Institute, and it was a very rewarding experience. The course was well-structured, easy to follow, and covered all the essential areas needed to begin teaching English as a foreign language.

The lessons were clear and informative, especially the modules on lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching different language skills. I appreciated how the course combined practical teaching ideas with useful theory, which helped me understand not only what to teach but also how to teach effectively.

The online platform was user-friendly and allowed me to study at my own pace, which made it convenient to fit around my schedule. The materials, examples, and resources provided throughout the course were very helpful and gave me confidence to start teaching.

Overall, I highly recommend The TEFL Institute to anyone who wants to gain a solid foundation in TEFL and begin their journey teaching English abroad or online. It was a valuable learning experience, and I’m glad I chose this course.

I have just finished a 310 hour course of Advanced Level 5 TEFL Diploma with TEFL Institute, which included a package of (180 + 60 + 60 + 10 hour courses). I am very glad to have enrolled in this course and I can’t wait to apply in my classes what I have learnt here, as soon as I start teaching again. During this journey of almost six months, I have learned a lot and enjoyed the way the lessons are designed and presented. Lessons are interactive with a lot activities and quiz at the end of each module which is supported by authentic materials and external sources for further readings. There are serious written assessments to be done.

You have a virtual course in front of you to complete within a timeframe but it’s up to you how you manage your time, so it’s flexible and extendible as well. What you need is, commitment, passion and discipline to study, do your assignments/ written assessments and pursue your dream of teaching with a better quality.

There are tutors who support you during the course when you have questions and there are weekly or fortnightly job searching webinars and academic support sessions that help the graduates with their follow up needs.

I am grateful to my tutors and I strongly recommend TEFL Institute to anyone who wants to get a TEFL Diploma and start teaching.

I have just completed the 120 hour Advanced International TEFL course. Although lengthy to complete it has a variety of interesting modules from teaching grammar to preparing a CV. Each module has helpful tests throughout to help revise each section, before the evaluated Quiz at the end of each module. The multiple choice/ fill the gap nature of the tests and quizzes are fairly straightforward but an attention to detail is required to complete them.

I took the 120 Hour Advanced International TEFL Course and I appreciate the ease with which I can go through each lesson. It’s organized, easy to follow, and the interactivity of the platform makes it easier as an online course.

I also appreciate the fact that there are video content in addition to just reading texts and concepts.

It would be great though if the course has an offline version where having an internet connection was not required. It would have been so helpful for me over the holidays for example when I had to travel by plane for long hours and couldn’t do the course since there wasn’t an offline version or a way to do the lessons offline. Nevertheless, this was my first TEFL online course and I am quite satisfied with it.

Worthy to note as well is their client service. They would reply promptly and as a user of their platform and learner of their course, that’s very comforting to have. A special thank you to Lisa, who offered a solution to a problem I had encountered. She was really helpful and very accommodating.

Overall, I am quite satisfied with the quality of the course as well as the service that the TEFL Institute provides.

After an unsuccessful job interviewed for the position of an IELTS instructor, I came across TEFL Institute and found the solution I needed to improve my chances of getting a job by taking the 30 hours IELTS course. The training was user-friendly, the material was comprehensive with excellent methodological content and with plenty of practice exercise. This training will hopefully help me to prepare my interview better, apply the skills I learnt in order to help my prospective IELTS students achieve their goals.

Thank you, TEFL Institute!

Overall, the 30-hour IELTS course was well-designed, and the interface easy to use. I now have a much better understanding of how an IELTS exam is structured, and what students need to master in order to receive a satisfactory band score. My only issue was that not all the audio clips could be saved. For some reason, audio portions that were 3 minutes or longer could not be saved — just the shorter ones. This seems to be a technical issue. Hopefully it can be resolved soon. Good course overall, and I would take other courses through The TEFL Institute in the future. Thanks!

I recently completed the 30-Hour Online Teaching IELTS Exam Preparation Course and really enjoyed it. I was already familiar with the speaking section, but I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of how to teach the other parts of the exam, and this course helped me do just that. It’s very practical, with lots of useful tips and strategies.

Overall, I’m very happy with the experience and feel that I’ve learned a lot.
