Online Level 5 TEFL Course

The Level 5 TEFL Course gave a great overview and starting point of what is needed for English language teaching. I appreciated that there was a significant portion dedicated to learning grammar as native speakers often know how to use grammar correctly yet would not be able to explain the rules to a non-native speaker.
I also liked that throughout the course a wide variety of exercise examples, learning games and teaching techniques were provided. This is something I would be able to revisit if I'm having difficulty engaging a particular class or student to have a different approach.
Thank you!

I have recently completed the online level 5 TEFL course with the TEFL academy. I found the course really engaging and well-structured. It begins with learning the different aspects of English language and provides lots of ideas and further reading in relation to activities and ideas that can be applied in the classroom. I particularly enjoyed the end of unit assessments at the end of each unit as I felt that these gave me something to work towards and kept me focused throughout the units. The coursework activities are interesting and engaging and the speed feedback and grades are received is absolutely incredible. The amount of feedback provided and support from the examiners is also amazing. I would recommend this course to anybody who is considering teaching English as a second language whether that be in the UK with EAL students or abroad.

I started out the course being unsure if I would be able to make it as a teacher in English. I knew next to nothing about being a teacher. But as the course progressed my confidence grew and I now feel equipped to go out into the world on my own. The content was interesting and applicable to real life teaching situations. Granted it is time consuming and takes a lot of personal discipline to complete the course, it was interesting to learn new things about the English Language, that I, as a native speaker, did not know.

I completed the The TEFL Level 5 online course and the Teaching English Online (1 to 1) course via the TEFL Academy. The experience I had was wonderful and the administrative support offered was friendly and efficient.
Both these courses are student centered, easy to operate and works according to the students pace. The online-only version of the course is the most flexible way to get TEFL qualified. Once you have successfully completed the course you will be qualified to teach English abroad anywhere in the world. The platform also offers assistance with CV, Clover Letter templates as well as providing you with websites to find job placements. This course has been a real stepping stone in furthering my new career.

My experience with the TEFL Academy has been horrible!! To begin with the course was extremely boring and provided zero benefit for teachers. I have around 5 years of experience teaching English to individuals of all ages and levels in multiple countries around the world, so I know what I am talking about when I criticize this absolute uselessness of the "education/information" that is provided by the TEFL Academy.
Then they are too lazy to obtain my certificate of completion that they ask me to contact TQUK, this is after one month of waiting when they "claim" time and again that certificates will be sent within two weeks. I have to contact TEFL to ask what is going on, they are not professional enough to contact me to explain that there is a delay, and then they have the nerve to tell me to sort out the problem myself.
Don't waste your time or money on this organization, there are plenty of others who I am sure are competent and do their jobs.

A first rate program, with excellent content and support. Very comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the curriculum. Great use of different teaching styles and media. The assignments are very well thought through, and certainly add to the overall quality of the program. They help to reinforce the key learning points, and add extra depth to the program. The additional reading material and videos are also excellent, and I will continue to use and review them over time. I would highly recommend this program.

It was a brilliant course, challenging, but really well thought out. I enjoyed doing every part of the course and found it extremely interesting and rewarding. The support was diligent and didn't take long to respond. I really enjoyed doing Unit 9 where they discussed the history of English and explained how it became an international language. I personally never knew the amount of effort teachers go through to present their classes, but this course has really changed my perspective of teaching and made me more assertive in my decision to potentially become a teacher.

At first, I was so excited to enroll in this online TEFL course. I admit the assignments weren't easy and there were plenty of times when I wasn't sure I could complete them. However, with a bit of motivation and the generous support from the online tutors, I was able to successfully finish the program, even if it did take three course extensions and almost two years of on-and-off studying. I'm grateful to this company for giving me the opportunity to earn my TEFL certification, and I look forward to seeing where it takes me in the future :)
