“The 120 hour TEFL course was great! It was very thorough and I was surprised by the effort and time I needed to spend on each assignment. After completing this course and having done some volunteer teaching at an unemployment centre I feel ready and able to take on my first real teaching job abroad. I will strongly recommend the TEFL Academy to anyone who wants to teach English in any way.”

“My goal in doing this course was to have the TEFL qualification 'under my belt'. I very much enjoyed the first 20 hours with the teacher. He was very expert and understood very well what could be taught in the time. I thought the following 100 hours would be straightforward - but it was not. It was very challenging, demanded very serious thought and was excellent in preparing for the rigorous task of teaching EFL successfully. I feel the preparation afforded by this course has been invaluable. And the marking was always timely and well thought through. I would thoroughly recommend the TEFL Academy Programme - but only for those with serious intentions of obtaining a worthwhile qualification.”

“This course is an excellent opportunity to learn everything you will ever need to know in order to teach English abroad. I strongly recommend the 120 hour course which consists of a 20 hour weekend course, followed by 100 hours online. The online course goes into a lot of vital detail about lesson planning and how to deal with tricky students. The weekend course was a lot of fun and the trainer was very professional and very helpful!”

“The 120 hour course is great - depending on why you are doing it. If, like me, you are there to get another qualification and perhaps do a little teaching whilst you travel it is great. Really comprehensive and helpful. However, if this is a change of career and you want to become a teacher then it is not for you! I do not think a 120 hour course can prepare you enough if you are serious about becoming a teacher. Also, be aware that it is not a doss. I think many people are misinformed about what is involved in a TEFL course, it is not multiple choice or something you could do in an evening. There are real essays and lesson plan assignments, which involve concentration and some outside research!”

“I thought The TEFL Academy 120 hour course was fantastic. The 20 hour practical course was fun and informative and many of the things we learnt have stuck with me as a teacher now. The online course was full of useful resources and really helped me making lesson plans and helping students with different needs. I would definitely recommend The TEFL Academy to anyone planning to become a TEFL teacher.”

“I recently completed a 120 hour TEFL course with The TEFL Academy and I wholeheartedly recommend it to those who may be interested in teaching EFL abroad. This is a thorough, intellectually challenging and rewarding course that will really get you thinking about the ins and outs of teaching and how to strive to be an excellent teacher. The practical 20 hour side of the course offers a really good introduction to the key components of TEFL, which will be then examined in considerable depth during the online part of the course. The focus on how to devise useful and stimulating lessons and deliver them competently, with a mind to the students' needs and abilities, is essential to any successful TEFL career. Through The TEFL Academy I have developed and honed the necessary skills to be a confident and very competent EFL teacher. I am also very grateful to the tutors who were prompt in giving useful feedback on the assignments and modelled to perfection the professionalism and good teaching skills that we, as TEFL students, are asked to aim for. Really look no further than The TEFL Academy for the very best preparation and standards in this field.”

“The 120 hour course started with a full 20 hours of classroom-based study, followed by 10 modules exploring everything you need to help you become a good Teacher of EFL. Tutors are quick to offer support and provide sound feedback. I recommend the TEFL Academy to anyone wondering where to study.”

“The content covered and methods of assessment used within the TEFL course with the TEFL academy was fantastic. Having to apply knowledge learnt in the form of essays, lesson plans, schemes of work and resources was a great way to really consolidate my learning. I also am a big fan of how quickly my work was marked and the high level of feedback I received. This has really helped me to improve and develop further. I will (and have!) definitely recommend to others.”

“Very helpful staff, and friendly, good at giving feedback and answering any queries, the material provided was very good for the online section of the course so not having an instructor around was not a worry, overall a very good experience and would recommend.”

“I really enjoyed my TEFL course with the TEFL Academy. It was great to have a real life classroom element at the start. I met some lovely people in the course and we set up a Facebook Group to help each other with questions and keep us motivated afterwards. It was really helpful to have other students to talk to as you went through the online course. The online course was a lot more challenging than I expected, but I'm glad it was! The content and assignments were interesting and made you think creatively. I'm so glad I took the course. I feel confident now going into my first teaching job. I would definitely recommend this course if you are considering teaching English as a foreign language. Trust me, you shouldn't go into a classroom without this training! Its invaluable.”

“The TEFL online course was just right for me as a full-time employee. The flexible timescales for completion and all the materials and advice made available to students were of good quality. The weekend face-to-face part at the beginning of the course was very enjoyable although a lot of work.”

“With so many courses to choose from I am pleased I made the right decision with choosing the Tefl Academy 120 hr course. Sarah was the teacher in Bristol for the 20hr classroom session. She was very personable, helpful and experienced. The 100hours online were informative and achievable. Thanks Tefl Academy for making it a pleasure to learn. I can't wait to find a placement now.”

“Enjoyable weekend intro to TEFL. Nice teacher and a good social mix of people trying to work towards becoming EFL teachers. The course material is substantial and covers the work given in course texts available from other sources, so no need to think that cause its online its a cheap/easy version. Feedback was given quickly for submitted work and had positive examples of what could be done to improve or widden the range of ideas you can use within classwork. Definitly will give you a thirst for some classroom activities”

“TEFL Academy ran a fantastic course that I completed and received my certificate through 3 days ago and I've already used lots of the information and training from it in Skype interviews with schools! It's a great course that helps not just with the theory but allows you the chance to practice the practical side too. I can see me using a lot of my assignments in my teaching in the future. I am very glad that I chose to take a 120 hr course as all of the schools I have applied to so far have requested 120 hours for the certificate. The classroom aspect is also really helpful as 80% of the schools I have contacted requested to know about what experience I have had previously, so without the classroom aspect I would have been stuck! I haven't used the job placement aspect much as I've been looking for very specific schools on my own - so this is the only part that I can't comment on. I really enjoyed this course and would recommend it to anyone - it's great that you can take the assignments at your own pace”

“I have just received my 100 hour home study TEFL certificate and can honestly say the experience was brilliant. The online aspect was well organised and the feedback was so helpful and insightful; it really helped with later assignments. I do feel that as a University student, I was at an advantage in terms of being able to write essays at a high standard and would recommend anyone who has been out of education for a substantial period of time, to brush up on their essay writing skills before embarking on this course. BUT, with all the information the TEFL academy provides you with, you should have everything you could possibly need! I now look forward to tutoring in this country before moving abroad next year hopefully! A great course that I would recommend to anyone and everyone that has a passion for teaching, the English language and seeing the world! Loved every minute of it! Thank you for a brilliant experience!!! Good Luck on your journey!”
