I did the 180 Hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma (Highfield), 60 Hour Level 5 TEFL in Teaching Online & One-to-One, 60 Hour Level 5 TEFL in Teaching Business English and a 10 hour classrooms methodology course.
The 180 Hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma was comprehensive, in fact it already covered most of what the 60 hour online and one-to-one content, so if I had a do over, I wouldn’t have chosen the additional online & one-to-one as it felt very repetitive.
The Business English add-on module is good and a departure from the 180 hour course, so I found value in it.
I also really enjoyed the 10 hour classroom methodology course, this gave me much more confidence to step into a classroom. The instructor was an experienced professional and it was great to meet other students.
I really liked the way the course was set up with mini online quizzes that you could do as many times as you liked, and having written submissions that were independently marked gave me assurance that I was taking on the content and applying it properly.
I did have an issue with the website being laggy, I tried on multiple computers / mobile phones and with multiple internet providers as I did this course while on the move and sometimes it was achingly sloooooooow. Things would take forever to load, especially on mobile which hindered progress.
In addition once the time period to complete is done, you also lose access to the content, not just the ability to gain the qualification/ certificate. So I recommend making comprehensive notes.
I liked that I was able to apply (& pay) for an internship so now I’m in Thailand in my first post TEFL qualification role.
Now that I’m in my first role I’d like to be able to refer back to course content so that I can refresh myself before applying it in the classroom. I found it annoying that I’d need to pay to do so.
