Easy to follow

Easy to follow, a lot of detail and a lot of help if you get stuck by any chance. It is good value for money. It was fun to learn how to teach the English language. I recommend it to anyone wanting to start this course! Just go for it!

I did the level 5 diploma course

I did the level 5 diploma course. The resources and the detailed feedback for each assignment were worth every penny I paid. I recommend this course to teachers with experience as well as teacher wannabes. It provides a valuable amount of information and resources.

A Course Well Thought Out

This has been something that I have wanted to completer for a few years.

I was very pleased with the overall organization of the course, assignment instructions and feedback, as well as how appealing to the eye the course/website were.

I was so impressed with my experience that my best friend and eldest sister have decided to register for the course via TTA; the quality of the course speaks for itself!

Finally, I think that having a unit or assignment where those who take the course plan a mini lesson and teach it would be a great benefit.

This Level 5 Diploma TEFL course was amazing! It was really well-structured and comprehensive. The learning portal was easy to use and intuitive. The units were all interesting and engaging. I particularly enjoyed studying grammar, phonetics and lesson planning, as well as watching all the cool videos with the inspiring teachers. The material was both relevant and up-to-date. And the course provided everything I needed to succeed.

Much gratitude to your team.

I found the step-by-step lessons were manageable and not overwhelming; comprehensive but not too complex; challenging and yet so worthwhile.
I valued the depth of the added resource materials, the practicicality of the assignments and the range of the topics. For example, the topic of classroom management was so well presented, it left me with a level of confidence on how to proceed. Each and every topic offered a unique learning opportunity, even though I had superficially covered some topics previously. Much gratitude to your team and their vision.

My experience at The TEFL Academy

My experience at The TEFL Academy was refreshingly thrilling and very satisfactory. I joined the programme not too sure of what to expect but to my excitement, the course was designed to untrain, train and retrain students in order to reposition them to becoming a new improved versions of themselves.
I was highly motivated by the creative method of teaching and the interactive tasks with regular feedbacks. This indeed boosted my courage and enhanced my confidence.
I can avow that The TEFL Academy is miles ahead of their competitors. I will not hesitate to recommend the course to anyone that may be willing to teach English to the millions out there waiting for outstanding breeds of professional teachers.

Overall

Overall, I enjoyed the course and would recommend it to others. The only weaker aspect, in my experience, was the Copyleaks section, which did not function properly. Otherwise, the course was very well organized, and the option to complete it online was especially convenient and valuable.

Very happy that I decided to take the Level 5 course that offered the additional 10 hours of in class training. I was surprised with how thorough and informative it was. The tests at the end of each lesson were challenging enough and it made it so you had to be engaged in the course materials in order to pass. The three assignments were all very interesting and after each assignment you received comprehensive feedback. I would recommend this course to anyone thinking about it. Finally, it is assuring that there is continued help and guidance when it comes to finding work in this field, whether it be online or abroad.
