Program Reviews

Great and thorough course with lots of information to help you along on your EFL journey! The topics are very relevant and the course can be used as a great reference point too in the future.

The course materials were organised nicely and included information on a variety of subjects that are crucial for teaching English as a foreign language. The information was provided in a straightforward manner. Each session, whether it was about lesson planning, classroom management, or language skill development, offered insightful information and useful tactics that I could use right away in a classroom setting.

After completing this TEFL course I felt so much more confident and equipped for my upcoming journey to teach in Vietnam.
The course is very comprehensive and provides some many insights, examples and ideas to support you to start off a new and exciting career teaching English as a foreign language. The course was very easy to use and navigate around, and I loved the human touches from James and his videos. There was good communication from the providers when needed, who were able to help with further information and resources.
Thanks!

This programme was informative and well structured, with great attention to detail. It has allowed me to make progress towards my TEFL qualification at my own pace and in my own time. This was of great benefit to me as it allowed me to structure my learning around my full-time job. The real-life inputs from Jamie in each module were informative and helped to put the content of each module into context. The end-of-unit tests required me to understand and recount my knowledge and by doing so helped cement it in my memory, rather than simply repeating it. Overall I found this program an effective guide to anyone seeking to become an EFL teacher.

This course was amazing!

The modules were the perfect length and covered all bases and queries that I could have possibly had. I found that the little videos added to the written content seamlessly. This created some variety within the course and meant that at no point I feel the process was overbearing.

I particularly found the modules on classroom management useful as going into the teaching world this was one of my biggest concerns but the techniques discussed have left me feeling confident to take my first steps into a classroom.

I enjoyed completing this TEFL course, as I found it to be very informative and thorough with the areas that are necessary to competently lead a classroom of my own. The course provided varying resources for learning, with templates to use, James' podcast, quizzes, and more. The modules 7 and 8 I personally found most helpful as this is where I felt least confident. Now I feel more confident in my ability to plan a lesson as well as how to lead a classroom. I would recommend this course for those wanting to work as TEFL teacher as this course has helped me feel much more confident in my ability to teach successfully.

I really enjoyed completing this TEFL course. It was very thorough and covered lots of elements that will be important when it comes to teaching a class of your own. It contains a lot of great advice and handy resources and information I can look back on when I am teaching. The course was helpful as it helped me learn the grammar basics I would require when teaching English. It also had a module covering how teaching would differ for younger learners which I found super useful as I didn't think about how different some things would be. I would recommend completing this in order to work as a TEFL teacher abroad and I feel much more confident I will be able to teach successfully since doing the course.

This course contained a lot of valuable information and applicable skills that will be very useful to both new and experienced teachers who will be teaching English overseas. The course did a fantastic job covering a vast range of topics like English grammar, classroom skills, student / teacher dynamics, effective ways to teaching specific topics and supplied a ton of useful examples for each topic. I was able to complete each chapter in bite size chunks without having to flip flop between already completed modules. This kept my progression flowing smoothly and efficiently, which helped me stay engaged and interested in the material.

Thank you so much to the TFT team for helping me get my TEFL certificate and providing me with an amazing course, and giving me the chance to teach in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam in 2024. Special thanks to Jaemi who has been there through it all!

Even better, now I have my certificate at an amazing value for money, I’ll be able to use the certificate over and over all over the world!

The only bit I’d say to improve is to add more variety in learning methods for the TEFL course instead of just having pages to read. Etc. Games and videos :)

This course is well constructed and provides excellent insight into the different parts of teaching abroad. The progression through the course felt natural and the podcasts were a great addition. As someone with little previous teaching experience, I feel this course has given me a much better idea of what teaching abroad will be like. I was particularly pleased it covered common mistakes new teachers make and how to avoid them, as well as some more specific solutions to problems that may occur as an EFL teacher. I would absolutely recommend this course!

I really enjoyed completing my 120-hour TEFL course. The course materials were organised nicely and structured in a way that is easy to follow along, without being overwhelming. There are lots of handy resources that teachers can refer back to, as well as plenty of good in-class examples of how to make lessons both engaging and rewarding for the students.

Being able to complete the course at your own speed was a huge bonus too due to work and other commitments. As somebody with no prior teaching experience, I have gained a lot more confidence about teaching English as a foreign language and can't wait to get started!
