Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 460 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the well-structured and engaging course content, finding it informative and easy to follow, even for those new to teaching. Many people highlight the quality of the training materials, including useful bibliographies, interactive exercises, and challenging questions that keep them engaged. Reviewers also appreciate the flexibility of the course, allowing them to study at their own pace while still feeling supported by the staff. The support team and tutors are frequently mentioned for their helpfulness, excellent communication, and constructive feedback on assignments.

A few other people also felt that more observed lessons or IELTS exam preparation could enhance the course.

I am so glad to have the opportunity

I am proud to say that I successfully completed my Level 5 course with The TEFL Academy, and overall I had a really positive experience. I’ve learned a lot of valuable and practical information!
The course is easy to follow and well structured. The modules build logically from grammar and classroom management to lesson planning and teaching different learner types. I especially liked the lesson planning assignments because they felt practical and prepared me for the real thing!
The online platform is actually very simple to use and also flexible. It was easy to study around my schedule. In addition tutor feedback was helpful, clear and easy to understand.
The Level 5 qualification is also a big plus, as it’s well recognized and helps when applying for jobs.
Overall, The TEFL Academy offers a well rounded, professional course that I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a career and an opportunity to teach English.

All the information I got was good

All the information I got was good and the suggestions for things like classroom management and lesson planning have proved helpful in various ways, but I felt the lessons were rushed at some points and belaguered at other points. The unexpected depth at one point is helpful in the following project, but its unexpectedness is what takes the perfect score away for me.

Excellent TEFL Course!

I found the TTA Level 5 TEFL course very informative, comprehensive, and engaging. As a person who is not a professional teacher, I feel I've gained the necessary knowledge and skills to become an EFL teacher. Now I just need practice using all the skills and tools. This course provides a solid foundation for beginning EFL teachers. There are a variety of activities and ways in which the material is presented which makes the course interactive and interesting. Lots of resources are provided. The assignments are challenging and allow to put into practice what was taught. The administrative staff is very responsive and courteous. My assignments were graded much faster than anticipated with thorough and detailed assessments. Taking this course has been an excellent experience and I appreciated the affordability of it. Overall, a fantastic experience.
