Excellent course, very impressed

I am so pleased that I found the TEFL Academy. I did a lot of research and this course and company stood out. From start to finish the course was professional, detailed and thoroughly enjoyable. It was challenging and I learnt so much about all aspects of teaching, as well as TEFL. The course material is easy to access online, and the Assignments really get you to think about what you have learnt. The opportunities via the jobs board are excellent. Thank you so much for making this course so enjoyable.

Pros
  • Excellent course material
  • Helpful tutors
  • Access to material online

Feedback

With regards to my experience with The Tefl academy, they showed so much support and made the course very easy to use. The videos added throughout the course are very helpful and help you understandthe material as well as what you need to do . I would recommend The Tefl Academy to all English teachers who are looking to travel and teach abroad. My TTA course went very smoothly and when I did get stuck on an assignment, I just emailed the support line and they replied with more assistance that same day.

Pros
  • Easy to use
  • Supportive throughout
  • Gives all information needed
Cons
  • Time limit on finishing the course

Brilliant experience

I had a great experience. It’s extremely flexible so if you need more time you can purchase extensions. When I submitted my assessments the turn around time was less than a week to hear back about each assessment so very quick. Support was good when I needed it I managed to get in touch with advisers. It is challenging and takes a good amount of work to pass it which just shows how good the qualification is. I would recommend this to a friend. It is expensive compared to other providers but in my opinion you get what you pay for. It is worth it.

Pros
  • Good support
  • Good material
  • Extensions available
Cons
  • Expensive but you get what you pay for
  • Assessments were more work than I expected

TEFL Level 5 Course

This course was entirely online which was fantastic for me as it allowed me to combine the studying with my full time job. As I am a teacher the classroom practice wasn't important since I do this all day every day, I know there are options for the course to be taken in a format that does allow this though.

The content was challenging and certainly made me think hard about the use of English grammar which I hadn't studied for a long time! Many of the teaching tips and elements of the course are things I recognise from my professional career and the range of resources on offer in the course are certainly appropriate in my expereince.

A key element in my decision process about picking TTA over other providers is the fact that the qualification is OFQUAL accredited. Havng worked in the UK all my career I know this is an importnat factor here, I am confident it will be overseas too.

Overall I am happy to recommend.

Pros
  • Flexibility
  • Ofqual approved qualification
  • Access to international job market
Cons
  • More challenging content than expected!

I would recommend to someone who likes to teach

Since I enjoy learning on my own and take pedagogy lessons in school, the lessons' underlying theories were extremely similar. Although the curriculum taught in TEFL is often very simple, you still need a place to go through it all so that you can take notes and undertake assignments. I would suggest anyone who is interested in taking this course to just complete it and make notes on your laptop with relevant keywords so you can go back on them later for assignments and make notes on any references they provide you with as well. I recently completed my TEFL course, and I can't wait to start tutoring:)

Pros
  • Online teaching
  • Work at your own pace
  • Support from tutors
Cons
  • Deadline after six months
  • A lot of material to cover

Great

It was a very enjoyable course with the right amount of vigour. Feedback was very helpful and detailed and my tutor assisted me with any questions I had. Furthermore, I got on with the course well. It was sectioned as 10 different units which all had a test at the end to check your knowledge. Alongside that it also had 3 big written assignments that gave me perspective into the material creation and classroom planning areas of an ESL job. I would definitely recommend this course for others too as i found it very fun and informative.

Pros
  • Clear
  • Concise
  • Support
Cons
  • Certificate Delivery takes long
