I am currently working as a teacher in a primary school in Ireland - I learned a lot while working through the content of this course! It gave me the opportunity to focus on the specific skills required for teaching/learning a language which were not really focussed on in my teacher training. The material was appropriately challenging and there was a lot of supplementary reading and resources provided that were very helpful. I can see how everything I've learned would be necessary for beginning to teach English abroad.

What would you improve about this program?

The course was very good - I also particularly liked the video links to real teaching experiences.

I’m absolutely thrilled to say I recently passed my TEFL level 5 course! I was skeptical at which provider to go with and I know I definitely made the right decision going with teflacademy! I found the course quite tough at times, but I have also learnt so much. The feedback on my assignments helped me a lot and I couldn’t be more happy to have completed the course.

I am now completing my online top-up course with the tefl academy and delighted at how easy it makes studying online for people who have a busy lifestyle etc. 100% recommend!

What would you improve about this program?

The assignments get marked within 7 working days, but if you need to change something it took another 7 working days till it was marked again.

I have taken the Level 5 TEFL online course at the TEFL academy based in Dublin, Ireland and I have found it very straightforward and well organised. I have not had any problem whatsoever throughout the course. The contents are all relevant and clearly presented. It is a challenging course and one gets the impression it is "serious" right away, and not light or overly simplistic. To me this is very positive, considering the amount of TEFL providers online. For me it was important to sign up for the TEFL course with an accredited institution that could offer professional training and I was extremely relieved I chose the TEFL academy as soon as I began the lessons.

What would you improve about this program?

It would be interesting to see more information about the reality of teaching English across the world. What are the conditions to be found in each country?

This was a very coherent and comprehensive TEFL course, the instructions for all three assignments were extremely detailed and clear and I didn't even have to wait so long for feedback from assessors (2 days on average). The six-month enrolment period is good, too, as even the busiest of nine-to-five workers can buy themselves some time to complete the course. The icing on the cake is the possibility to choose from three top-up courses which should help you specialize as a teacher - Teaching online, Business English and Teaching young learners.
This course is truly a must for people looking for travel jobs, thank you The TEFL Academy for this life-changing opportunity!

I enjoyed this course, the process was so straightforward and clear that it hardly felt like studying at all, I found it well structured with clear instructions and just overall interesting in it's own right.
There was plenty of support and I never felt lost as to what to do next, the grading was also very good as I received great feedback that helped me a lot.

All in all it's a great qualification to have (I'm already doing online teaching and earning money, and I only qualified two weeks ago) it's not heavy on the wallet and if you go at it full time, it's done very quickly, so as to allow you to earn right away.

Definitely recommend.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

I would have probably done it much earlier in my life.

I've had some experiences as a teacher in Education Courses in my mother tongue, this one I liked by far the most! it's interesting, never too much, straightforward and the tasks are adapted to what a teacher really needs. I liked the theoretical background, which is clearly aimed at people with some knowledge of the field as well. There isn't any pressure to follow this or that kind of philosophy neither. I really think this is a great way to get an English degree! I didn't had the opportunity yet to find a job outside, but I'm sure TEFL will help me with that as well.

I really enjoyed doing this course. It was challenging and informative, but everything was explained well which made it easy to digest. The course covers a wide range of subjects which has left me feeling well prepared for my TEFL career. The course consists of ten online learning modules, three graded assignments, and a two-day physical course at a local hotel, giving you the opportunity to actually put some of your learning into practice. It is quite a lot of work, but well worth the effort. The feedback I got on the assignments was also very detailed, which is a big plus.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

I would've put more time into studying at the beginning of the course. Six months seems like a lot of time, but the three assignements are all in the second half of the course, and more time consuming than I expected them to be.

I am so happy the TEFL course presented itself when I was looking for opportunities to combine work and travel. It was very easy to enroll😊. I have to say: the opportunities this certificate provides when you want to see the world from a different perspective than just visiting a place for a day or so, are priceless. I am looking forward to connecting people through language, give people a voice to be heard globally, and see the world because of it. I have not yet applied for a job so I don't know yet about the support given during this process.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Just do it, while travelling it is always useful to have good language skills

Questions & Answers

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

I have spent many years studying and living in Spain. I moved to Alicante, Spain to study as part of my Erasmus programme and lived there for nearly 2 years. I fell in love with the country, the people, the culture and, of course, the food!

I then moved to Murcia, where I taught English as a Foreign Language for a year. It was the best experience of my life and really shaped who I am as a person. I was teaching young learners (5-7 years old), teenagers and adults. I also taught Business English to local companies, which was really interesting! My favourite moment was when I could see that the topic or grammar point we were covering in class actually clicked with the students. It's such a proud feeling to see your hard work paying off and getting good results.

I spent my free time traveling around Spain and visiting different cities such as Valencia, Madrid and Granada. I fell in love with the small, rustic, colourful villages of the small towns, the gorgeous architecture and the warm, open personalities of the local people. I improved my language skills immensely and by the end of the year, I was able to hold a strong, fluent conversation in Spanish, so that was another perk of the experience!

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Working with The TEFL Academy is great fun! We have a fantastic team of supportive, enthusiastic and quirky staff. I really wanted to work for this company because I was keen to share my experiences with others and give hints and tips into what's it's like to be a TEFL teacher, what to expect, what to do/avoid doing. I have heard so many interesting and heart-warming stories from our students and I've also learned so much about different cultures of the world.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

My favourite return student story is one from our student Sandra Dawn Biddulph. Sandra completed our course and went on to teach in Northern Spain as a TEFL teacher. As a mature student, it was amazing to see Sandra immersing herself completely in life of the school, the local community and religious fiestas. Sandra worked in language schools but is also a private tutor. I love that our course has provided her with a full skill set and that she is using what she has learned to help others on their language-learning journey!

I was really able to relate to Sandra, having gone through a lot of the same experiences in Spain. Sandra proves that it is never to let to follow your dream and that jumping into the deep-end can result in the most fantastic experiences.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

The TEFL Academy offers many different internship programmes. If you're keen on working in Spain, I would definitely recommend the Spain Internship programme run by Meddeas. It offers TEFL-qualified teachers the chance to move to Spain to work as a language assistant teaching children from 2yrs to 18yrs old in a Spanish school for 3-9 months. I would love to complete this programme because it offers full board accommodation with a volunteer host family, which I think would be a fantastic experience and a great way to fully immerse yourself culturally. You receive a monthly allowance also, which is more than enough to get by, as your expenses in Spain will be quite low. Food, transport and accommodation are so cheap! A full meal would cost you less than €10 in most restaurants and a beer is only €1.50 on average, which is crazy!

Working 20-25 hours per week in a classroom environment, the programme gives you the chance to work on and develop many skills, such as public speaking, language skills, creativity, team working, topic preparation, patience, maturity, autonomy, and cultural awareness.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

I'm proud of our team every day. I love the fact that all of the staff in Student Services have TEFL experience and have worked abroad. We have a really broad range of knowledge, which is amazing because it allows us to help students out no matter what side of the world they're looking to teach in. We have a really strong and passionate team, who love what they do and I believe that we help with drive the company forward in the best way possible.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I think that it's essential that a company has a key set of values that it sticks by to in order to be successful. The TEFL Academy strives to provide support to our students, from the moment that they enrol, to assisting with their course, to the proud moment when they obtain their qualification, right through to their exciting job search. It's important that we are empathetic and that we can relate with our students on a personal level.
