This was a fantastic course that really set me up to start teaching online immediately. Each module is thorough, detailed and appropriate, providing a wealth of resources for further reading should the student wish to after.

The course mixes a range of different exercises to help students learn the content in a fun and entertaining way.

Each assignment had very clear instructions and left me with no doubt that I was tackling it in the correct manner. The student support team were also quick and effective at helping me with any queries I had.

I highly recommend this course!

I have recently completed my Level 5 TEFL course with the the TEFL Academy and had a positive experience.

The units are broken down well and it allows you to work through at your own pace, which was really helpful for me as I work full time. I was able to work through in my own time and when it was convenient without any pressure. The lessons are clear, structured well and easy to follow.

You gain a lot of experience in lesson planning throughout the course which is really beneficial. I do feel like coming out of this, that I am lacking the practical experience, so am looking in to the next steps to gain this. I think if you were to book the course with observed teaching, that this would tick al the boxes!

The Youtube lectures are especially helpful and a great guide to walk you through the assignments, and the feedback provided by the support team was easy to understand.

I do really recommend this course if you are looking to step your foot into the door of teaching English, and I am excited to see where it will take me!

I really enjoyed taking the TEFL Academy course. The materials were super easy to understand and well-organized, which made learning way less stressful. Everything was explained clearly, and I liked how the course was broken down into manageable parts.

The feedback from tutors was also really helpful and encouraging. It felt like they actually cared and wanted you to do well.

Overall, I think it’s a great course and totally worth it if you’re thinking about getting TEFL certified!

I would like to recommend the TEFL academy if you want to get a TEFL certificate. The online class is well structured and resourceful and the feedback of the assignments is professional.

For some suggestions is that the job sites and assistance isn’t have too many choices after the class. It still need yourself to find out which one is best for you, but it’s okay that a lot of free resources on YouTube will help:)

Overall, I like the class isn’t traditional class just read the article, but it provides some interaction part between some knowledge checkpoints, really help me to memorize and not get bored.

Thanks the TEFL academy to help me get my TEFL Level 5 certificate:)

I recently completed a TEFL course and had a generally positive experience, but there are a few areas where I believe improvements could be made.

One of the aspects I appreciated most was the flexibility of the course. The absence of strict time requirements per section allowed me to progress at my own pace, which was particularly helpful given my schedule of being a full time university student. The built-in “Test Your Knowledge” sections and mini-tests throughout the course helped reinforce key concepts and ensured I understood the material before moving on.

However, I would have preferred access to all assignments from the start. Being able to review them in advance would have helped me plan my workload more effectively and make stronger connections between the course content and the assessments. Additionally, while the revised templates made assignments clearer and easier to complete, the initial versions were somewhat confusing and discouraging. A more straightforward structure from the beginning would have been beneficial.

Another area for improvement is the grading system. Receiving only a pass/fail mark for assignments felt limiting; a percentage score would have provided more detailed feedback on my performance. Lastly, a countdown indicating how much time remained until the course expired would have been a useful feature for better time management.

Overall, I would recommend this course to others but advise them to be proactive in organizing their study plan.

First things first, a huge thanks to the TEFL Academy staff for their hard work. There are so many TEFL providers out there, but I’m very glad I chose the TEFL Academy for my studies.

All the lessons are clear, very well-structured, and it’s obvious that a team of professionals worked on them, as the pacing is perfect and the content is easy to understand. Each lesson includes plenty of revision, so you’d have to be extremely distracted to miss the key points.

As for the assignments, they don’t just check your understanding of previous lessons—they also give you the chance to practice essential teaching skills in a safe environment. The student support service is also excellent; responses are quick, and the system is very easy to use.

Overall, I am very happy with this course, the tutors, and the feedback I have received. Thanks again to the whole team!
