Great Experience!

It was a great experience. I love the fact online aspect of the course, it’s self-paced, flexible and convenient for people who are working or traveling. The course material is interesting and useful. Not to mention, you get career advice at the end as well. The company is doing well. I can’t really think of any recommendations. Everything is fine as it is.

Try it, even if you have no teaching background

This TEFL course was a positive and practical learning experience. I had no teaching background and found that the content was clear, well-structured, and relevant to real teaching situations. Its flexibility made it easy to complete even with my other commitments and within a good timeframe to do so. Overall, it provided a solid foundation in teaching English and I would reccomend this for anyone to study.

TTA provided incredible support and encouragement

TTA provided a step by step comprehensive course with great feedback. Tutors and admin were also very helpful with incredible guidance and feedback. TTA management had been very supportive and understanding when I was going through a difficult situation and provided me with much needed assistance. I am truly grateful and would recommend TTA to anyone. Even though it’s online the friendly and helpful staff really make it a wonderful experience.

TEFL Academy - Brilliant Institution

Studying asynchronously can be very challenging and stressful. However, the TEFL Academy have made it so much easier as if you had the staff right there guiding you.
The coursework is brilliant and the opportunity to use what you learn to teach internationally, adding value to learners all over the globe, is invaluable.
Thank you TEFL Academy.

The Level 5 TEFL Course was really, really good!

The Level 5 TEFL Course was a comprehensive course that covered all required and necessary areas for a qualification of that status.

The organisation of the units was chosen really well (starting with Lesson planning), so that it smoothlessly guides you and teaches you the knowledge to be able to teach EFL. Further Reading and materials for provided.

The end-of-unit quizzes were extremely helpful, and the three assignments were perfectly to test your skills as a potential TEFL teacher.

I particularly enjoyed the layout of the course.

I'm only giving it 4 stars out of 5 because there was a lot of incosistency in terms of punctuation and spelling. It seems the people behind the course just chose to alternate between US and UK spelling and punctuation, as they felt like it.

With that being said, I couldn't recommend this course any higher if you're pursuing a cereer in being an English language teacher!

Great Introduction to Teaching English Online

I recently completed the online TEFL course and had a very positive experience. The course content was clear, well-structured, and easy to follow. It covered important topics such as lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching English to different types of learners.

I appreciated the flexibility of the program, which allowed me to study at my own pace while managing other responsibilities. The course helped me build confidence in teaching English online and prepared me to start applying for tutoring opportunities.

I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a practical introduction to teaching English as a foreign language.

I completed the Qualifi TEFL Level 5…

I completed the Qualifi TEFL Level 5 Diploma with the TEFL Academy recently. I am so glad I chose to do it with them. To begin with, the course modules were very well designed, engaging and interactive throughout, from start to finish. The testing style and feedback provided for improvement was really constructive. TTA was effective help a novice like me learn the key principles of teaching, as well as giving me the confidence to go forward and use this in my future ESL pathway. The support for aspiring tutors by the experienced staff and tutors of TTA is stellar. I recommend everyone who is interested in ESL teaching explore courses with this dedicated group of teachers and support persons.
