Excellent TEFL Course

I completed my online TEFL certification and had a wonderful and compelling experience. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, but the real strength of this institution is the exceptional quality of the educational materials and the prompt, insightful feedback from the tutors. It’s clear they are dedicated to student success.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive and supportive environment to start your teaching journey, this is definitely the place to be!

Flexible, Practical, and Honestly Worth It

I honestly really loved this TEFL course. The self-paced setup was a huge win for me because I could stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed or like I was falling behind.

What I appreciated most was how practical everything was. The projects didn’t just test me on what I learned—they actually made me feel like I was in real teaching situations. A lot of online courses miss that, but this one didn’t. I felt like I was building real skills I could actually use, not just checking boxes.

Overall, it just felt very real and actually useful, which isn’t always the case with online programs. I’d definitely recommend it if you want something flexible but still prepares you for what teaching is actually like.

Top-tier course

Worth the money. I truly enjoyed the TEFL lv 5 , It has been a intensive and content-reach course. Moreover, the teaching methodology was aligned to my values; I wish I had teachers with this knowledge in my young years. Ultimately, I must say the assignment are not easy. Hard work is required.

I write a review again after the school…

I write a review again after the school decided to extend my enrollment without paying a fee, that is actually really appreciated.

My advice is to always make sure about the time you have to finish the course or the assignments, because you won't get any email about enrollment expiration or something like that.
So, be careful.
The three stars are because this course alone is not enough to really understand how to teach to young learners, but it is a good start.

I would have loved to receive a true feedback. I got a good grade without comments after only two days I had submitted my work, which is good, but still I would have appreciated a true feedback... Like, the good points, points to improve etc.
Nothing. But anyway, thank you for making me finish the course.

Thanks for your feedback, Anna. Although it is standard that our students are sent email and text notifications of their upcoming enrolment expiry, it does seem that due to a technical error, this did not happen in your case. For this reason, we did waive the usual fee. I am glad to hear this result was satisfactory to you.
In regard to your feedback about the course itself, although I have forwarded your comments to the Academic department, it should be noted that this course is sold as a top up course, and as such, is designed to be an added extra for those who have already completed a Level 3 or Level 5 TEFL qualification, rather than a standalone qualification to fully teach English.
I am sorry to hear you could not find your assignment feedback. I have logged in and can see that feedback was provided. I have now sent a request to our Student Services department to guide you in finding your assignment feedback on the site, but if anything else is needed, please do not hesitate to reach out directly.

Very Practical, interactive and comprehensive training

I loved doing the TEFL Level 5 Diploma with the TEFL Academy because they have structured the course very well. Unlike other online courses, the course material was presented in a very interactive way which made it very easy to understand and helpful. Lots of useful resources were shared and the assignments and quizzes were very practical and positively challenging, making sure that I actually understood what I was learning.

Great Learning Experience

The course material was well-researched and engaging. The videos were entertaining and informative. The online quizzes were challenging but fair. I enjoyed the thoroughness of the assignments, and the quick response by markers was appreciated. I also appreciated the length of time allowed to complete the course. I needed the whole time as I was working full-time as well as caregiving for an elderly parent.
