Online Level 5 TEFL Certificate | 168-Hour Accredited Course

The TEFL Academy online course is really well structured with assessments and assignments so I really felt like I’d achieved something at the end of each module. The content is fun and easy to understand and provides a lot of opportunities for further reading. I also attended one of the in-person classroom days in London, which was great to meet other learners and have an introduction into teaching in the real classroom. Our teacher was very experienced and engaging. I was concerned about struggling to engage on a 10 hour day but our instructor made it a really fun day! I also found when I needed to contact the online support team that they responded quickly and were very helpful. Assignments were also marked quickly and gave great constructive feedback.

I really liked the course, it is very thorough and useful. The contents are complete and the platform is really easy to use. It is full of material and videos. As regards the assignments, I would have liked to get more videos showing -rather than explaining - how to do them. Unfortunately, I had to resubmit two of them. Even though you can take it without any kind of experience, you will find it easier and more understandable if you already have teaching experience. The support is efficient and they are always answering questions and doubts. Overall, it was a good experience and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for an online tefl certificate.

The TEFL Academy provided me a wonderful online experience. The content was clear and easy to understand. The support was excellent and when contacted, immediately helped me with my queries. The feedback for the assignments were very helpful and detailed. The tutors informed me of how to improve my lesson plans. The content was easy to read and understand. I also found this experience very enjoyable and fun as the assignments give you a chance to adapt your learning styles. I would definitely recommend this course to many people.

The website TEFL uses is easy to navigate. The information is presented in different ways; there is a lot of reading, but there are also video's and also exercises where you can see the views of fellow students. You can completely work through the material at your own pace. The assignments are clearly explained, with an example you can review. The instructions make it very clear what is expected, and you can also see the criteria that will be used for grading. The assessment is very quick; I received feedback within two days each time. The feedback is detailed and really helpful. In short, I highly recommend taking the TEFL Level 5 course.

I enjoyed my course thoroughly. I felt the coursework was both simple enough for me to grasp but also challenging enough to help me learn and grow
I always had support within 24 hours and my work was graded soon after I submitted ensuring I had enough time to fix anything or resubmit. I also got detailed feedback on all of my assignments so I knew where I could put more effort. The platform was incredibly easy to use and it has tonnes of resources so you always have material to use even after the course

Recently, I finished my TEFL course with TTA, and I must say, I couldn't be more satisfied. Complex yet perfectly fitted assignments for course objectives have challenged me to think critically and apply everything learned in practical scenarios. The instructor feedback was amazingly detailed and constructive; it showed me where I needed to improve. Also, the content was comprehensive, well-structured, and covered all the essential points necessary for one to later on have a very successful career in teaching English. It really equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to feel confident in my teaching abilities.

Attending the Online Level 5 Course at The TEFL Academy was so exciting!
The course is perfectly structured and covers thoroughly all language parts and the four language skills a teacher must teach.
The online text explains the information clearly; it provides examples, situations, and references. It also contains links to other parts of the course dealing with the cited topic. Thus, the information is recycled and it becomes easier to remember what you have learned.
Even though it is an online course, I felt part of a community and never felt alone. I think this is quite special. This is one of the reasons why I so much appreciate The TEFL Academy course, and I tell you why. First, at the end of each topic you test your knowledge. You shall pass the test to move on. This made me feel involved: I thought I could check my learning, it doesn’t matter how. Secondly, whenever I had a problem or was curious about something I asked for a teacher's support, and received an immediate reply. Third, I attended a weekly non-mandatory webinar: the teachers were extremely professional, gave lots of information, and answered to students’ questions. Thus, I virtually met other students and this was very interesting.
As the acronym TEFL means, the course teaches how to teach English as a foreign language. The TEFL Academy course comprehensively provides all the skills a teacher needs with non-native English: in a monolingual class, a multilingual class, or individual lessons. This particular detail is the focus of the course. It is interesting to learn that as a teacher you must use only English, a foreign language, whatever the students’ level and age. You might think that’s hard with a beginner's class. The TEFL Academy course explains why the teacher must speak English and only English and how s/he makes the students understand what s/he is saying. I learned lots of tricks that helped me teach with fun. Also, I learned many games to use during lessons: my lessons are now exciting and involve my students.
The TEFL Academy course provides teaching materials and shows how to use it. Online materials are also included. A teacher must keep updated and the TEFL Academy course provides references.
As I mentioned, in the online TEFL Academy Level 5 course I appreciated testing my knowledge at the end of each chapter. It was an invitation to review what I had read and already understood. When you pass the end of the chapter test you can move to the next chapter. This method is very appropriate: a teacher must know all teaching aspects and be prepared before any lesson.
The TEFL Academy Course focuses on planning lessons. Accurate planning is the key to a successful lesson. This takes a considerable teacher’s time, especially at the beginning of one’s career. But it is necessary: students will soon feel the teacher’s inadequate planning and preparation, and they will not be able to learn effectively.
Last but not least: the TEFL Academy teachers are professional, experienced, helpful, and wonderful!

This course was exactly what I was looking for. I needed online study to provide me with the knowledge and skills to start TEFL teaching, and this course did that very effectively. The content developed logically, and was clearly presented. I found the level to be appropriate, easing into the topics, but then providing some challenges too. The online support was excellent, with rapid and clear, helpful responses. The three graded assessments were good opportunities to practice the material learned, in a practical way. I was also very impressed by the speed with which I received useful and supportive feedback.
