I enjoyed making my tefl course with the tefl academy, I found it very helpful and interesting. For many years I considered doing a tefl career and after researching many companies for it , the tefl academy was the best. I am fully satisfied and wish everyone to do a course with the tefl academy.

The course was quite detailed but still manageable to get through. The content was set up in a way that is not confusing and has a flow as well as being easy to self teach.

If I didn’t grasp the concept by what was in the unit, there were additional resources given as well as video to watch to help with understanding.

The assignment feedback was very detailed and showed me where I can improve and what I did right.

I found the course to be really helpful compared to the other TEFL certification programs I have seen on the internet. Their customer service is also responsive and informative. They have also given me more than enough time to finish my course, which was helpful as I had a rough schedule during my time taking the certification. The only issue that I had with it was that not every video had a transcript, but that is because the video is from YouTube. I am probably just being nitpicky about it. Overall, I had a great time with this certification. Just make sure you will keep all the necessary emails that they will send you.

The diploma is very detailed and tests the student in all the aspects related to teaching English. I enjoyed how interactive it was with many resources given to support the studies. The assessments prepared me well to start applying what I learned in teaching students privately and preparing lesson plans that fit their language needs. I highly recommend the TEFL diploma from the TEFL Academy

I found the course to be a comprehensive learning experience which not only broadened my knowledge of teaching, but my understanding of the English language as a whole. I look forward to putting the skills I learned to good use as an ESL teacher.

A overall amazing, in depth course. Incredibly detailed and extensive. I like that it gave you lots of options of teaching methods and the freedom to choose what aligned with your style as a teacher.

I also appreciated how there was a huge emphasis on fun and games as I agree that this is a massive factor of motivation for students. There were also plenty of options in terms of what games to choose from. As well as lots of linked peer reviewed articles that provided evidence of their efficiency and significance.

However, one of the only negative aspects I can think of is the huge amount of information that prerequisites assignments. I found it a little bit daunting and overwhelming seeing all of that information and not really knowing which pieces of advice to use and which to leave out. Then again, this might not be the case for everyone, but is just my personal opinion.

I also feel as though feedback could have been a little bit more in depth but understand that this is not feasible all the time with the amount of students that there are.

Overall: I would totally recommend.

User friendly and easy to follow platform and lessons, with sufficient resources that one can use during the course and after. The assignments offer a great opportunity for application of what’s learnt in the lessons.

Almost signed up nearly 10 years ago and then was recently reminded about it from colleagues working in the ESL space. The resources were great, very clear, and great that the Level 5 course can be done at your own pace. I was able to do this flexibly around work.

There are a lot of TEFL courses out there and can be difficult to find one that’s reliable, i chose this as it’s level 5 and accredited. You can take this certificate anywhere.

Only down side was that there was a change in assignment templates and had to adjust slightly, but there were guidance and instructions around it. The feedback on the assignments was also very clear and constructive. Very supportive.

Super glad I completed this and looking forward to using this in my own work and also the doors it will open in the education space.

Cheers,

Saul
