TEFL level 5 online course

Had a great experience with the TEFL Academy. Assessments were marked quickly and feedback was always helpful. The assessors provided helpful points after each assessment to improve my work. I also found the tests after each module to be a great recap of all the knowledge learned. The website was user friendly and had no trouble accessing the content. Every module had clear and concise information and I feel well prepared to become a TEFL teacher. Useful links were provided for all topics for further reading. Great experience with the TEFL academy all round.

Pros
  • Content
  • User friendly interface
  • Quick and helpful feedback

TEFL Level 5 (168) Hour Review

The site was very easy to navigate. The units were adequately broken down and there were quick links to the side in order to access the different topics under each section. The information was relevant and the course was very interactive. I liked the inclusion of the additional reading material section. This allowed you to do further reading if you are interested. The end-of-unit tests were very good for revision and required you to have aa thorough grasp of the unit. The assignments provided sufficient challenge and the tutors responded in good time.

Pros
  • Excellent GUI
  • Credible Information
  • Quick response from tutors

Rigorous and worthwhile

I selected The TEFL Academy because the content looked detailed, well-written and useful. When assessing a variety of courses, I looked at sample content and realized that I preferred self-paced textual content over an audio-based course. I thought that the cost of this course was reasonable and I'm glad that I selected this one. The tutor support was excellent, with very useful feedback, with quick turn-around. The material is clearly written and very practical and instructive. The course also supplies many links to other resources, so that one can expand one's knowledge outside of the boundaries of their course, and get to know what a wide range of experts are thinking about teaching. There are three very big assignments which solidify one's teaching ability, but take effort to complete.

Pros
  • Thorough.
  • Rigorous.
Cons
  • Takes time and effort to complete.

The TEFL Academy: A good choice.

I've learned a lot of valuable information that played a large role in my getting a job shortly after qualifying. I would happily go back to the TEFL Academy to further my studies with their more specialised programs, such as teaching Business English. Their weekly webinars have also been incredibly helpful and informative. Their student support wastes no time in responding to any questions a student may have and are incredibly helpful. Can only hope that they add more courses to their program. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learned a lot. I was also able to see where my own weak points in the English language were and where I need to improve as a teacher.

Pros
  • Very informative
  • In depth explanation
  • Assignments and tests that help to track progress
Cons
  • Needs to add more courses such as IELTS
  • There is no information on helping students with learning disabilities

The TEFL Academy Online

I truly enjoyed the Online TEFL Academy course. Now after finishing the course I feel well prepared for teaching english.
The website of the course was really easy to follow and your progress is being tracked so you know how much of the course you have left. The units are very well structured and interesting. The lessons are very understandable and fun. The provided content is diverse, you get a lot of videos, some quick quizzes and fun games to check if you understood everything and you also get reading sections.
For the assessments you get a step by step guide, so everything is made very clear and is easy to follow. After only a few days you get your results!
The online course is extremely flexible, so you can choose when and where you do your lessons and assignments. You get plenty of time to finish the course, however if you feel like you need more time, you can simply ask for more.
I would recommend The TEFL Academy to everyone that wants to have a flexible job. You can teach online, overseas, in your own country anywhere you desire.
To sum it up I had a really good experience with The TEFL Academy!

Pros
  • Easy to follow
  • Very flexible
  • Opens a lot of doors in the future
Cons
  • No assistance -> your on without a teacher
  • A lot of reading
  • A little expensive

A great course!

This course was great for learning how to teach the English language and work with students. I felt it provided all the information I needed through the online content and the in person class was great to put what I'd learnt into practice. With it being online it was easy to navigate the site and access support from tutors if I needed it. The assignments were well explained and I felt they helped me understand the content better. I would definitely recommend this course to other people. It's been really helpful.

Pros
  • Easy to navigate
  • Informative
  • Engaging

Great experience

I honestly did not know what to expect when enrolling in the course but now I can say it exceeded my expectations. Once I started, the tasks and materials were so engaging that I actually felt the need to access the platform every day. The course content is well organised and the assignments are carefully planned to help you put into practise all you have learned. Although I have experience in teaching, I have acquired plenty of new skills and knowledge. I simply cannot wait to start my teaching experience in another country!

An amazing and educational experience!

Completing my level 5 qualification with the TEFL Academy was an amazing experience. From the course content to the engaging assignments, I learned so much from it. I had never thought about creating fun lesson plans before and I had no idea where to start. Thanks to TEFL Academy, the quizzes and assignments really got me thinking and the content from the course was super useful. I have so much more confidence now and I can't wait to begin my career teaching English. I would highly recommend TEFL Academy!

Pros
  • Left feeling more confident in my ability to teach English
  • Great variety of lessons and course content
  • All areas of teaching English (grammar to lesson planning) were covered
Cons
  • Sometimes the assignments were challenging
  • Would love more interactive videos/games in the lessons
