The TEFL Academy, Your Best Bet!

Hi, my name is Sidney, from Nigeria, I completed my TEFL (Level 5) certification 14days ago with The TEFL Academy.
Honestly, I had an amazing experience so far, the course is easy to understand, flexible, perfectly engaging, well-structured, and professionally laid-out.
I was able to study at my own pace owing to the flexibility. The feedback was top-notch and timely response from the tutors and helplines was impressive.
The whole time till now, i believe I'm in the right hands and the right place for my teaching career advancement.

Aside the fact that TTA is internationally accredited and it's job support system is first among equals, without any iota of doubt, I believe I am good-to-go to teach English, and I can confidently recommend this citadel of learning for anybody willing and ready to take the bold step into the EFL/ESL world.

Thanks.

Great Experience

I was hesitant to enroll because I've been out of school for so long and was worried about the tests and assignments but all those fears were quickly put to rest when I first logged in. The material is set up in a very concise way and it so easy to navigate. While there is alot of matieral covered it's broken into very manageable chunks. There are also loads of resources for extra learning on the topics presented in case you need additional support. I think the part that I appreciated the most was the feedback in assignments. It really helped me know where my weak points where and gave suggestions to improve. Overall, very impressed and glad I enrolled.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Definitely take notes. There's alot of information and it's all very useful. I would recommend digital notes as I did mine in paper and now have to transfer them for future reference.
Pros
  • Solid foundation
  • Extra resources
  • Helpful assignment feedback
Cons
  • Some matieral is complex and could be it's own course
  • The phonetics section is taught based of UK pronunciation so was a bit confusing as an American
  • One of the videos didn't play in the course but I was able to find it inline

The TEFL Academy Online Course

I recently completed the 168-hour Level 5 TEFL course with The TEFL Academy (TTA), I found the course to be a well-structured and informative program. Here’s my honest assessment of the experience:

Course Content & Structure ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
The course consists of ten modules, covering key areas such as lesson planning, grammar, phonetics, classroom management, and teaching methodologies. The material is well-organized and clearly presented, making it easy to absorb.

The quizzes and assignments help reinforce learning, but the course does not include live teaching practice as part of the standard package. If you want hands-on experience, you’ll need to seek additional teaching opportunities on your own.

Ease of Use & Flexibility ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Being fully online and self-paced, the course was incredibly convenient for my schedule. I was able to study whenever it suited me and complete assignments at my own pace. The platform is user-friendly, and I didn’t encounter any technical problems at such.

Support & Feedback ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
The tutor feedback on assignments was thorough and constructive, which I really appreciated. However, response times from customer service could have been quicker at times. The tutors were knowledgeable and helpful whenever I reached out for clarification.

Certification & Job Prospects ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
The TEFL Academy is fully accredited, meaning the certification is recognized globally. Upon completing the course, I gained access to their TEFL Jobs Board, which features teaching opportunities worldwide. I found this resource useful, but I would also recommend supplementing it with job searches on platforms like TEFL.com.

Final Thoughts ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.5/5)
Would I recommend The TEFL Academy’s online course? Definitely, especially for those looking for an accredited, flexible, and cost-effective way to obtain TEFL certification. However, if hands-on teaching practice is a priority, you may want to opt for a combined course with in-person training or gain additional experience independently.

If you're considering TEFL certification, The TEFL Academy is a strong option. 😊

Pros
  • Internationally recognized, fully accredited certification, Clear, well-structured modules
  • Detailed tutor feedback
  • Flexible, self-paced learning
Cons
  • No live teaching practice in the standard online course

Great investment

I recently completed the Level 3 TEFL Course at The TEFL Academy, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From start to finish, this course exceeded my expectations and equipped me with the skills and confidence to step into the classroom.

Here’s why it’s a standout program:

Engaging, Well-Structured Content
The course materials were clear, practical, and highly engaging. Each module blended theory with real-world application, covering everything from lesson planning and grammar fundamentals to classroom management and cultural awareness. The video demonstrations of teaching techniques were particularly helpful, and the interactive quizzes kept me motivated.

Expert Support & Feedback
The tutors at The TEFL Academy were approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success. They provided detailed feedback on my assignments and lesson plans, offering constructive tips to improve my teaching style. Whenever I had questions, the support team responded quickly—often within hours!

Practical Focus
What set this course apart was its emphasis on hands-on skills. The lesson-planning workshops and micro-teaching scenarios forced me to think like a teacher from day one. By the end, I’d built a portfolio of activities and templates I could immediately use in a real classroom.

Great user friendly and informative course

I come from a background and strong interest in linguistics. I did this course as a refresher as I completed my TESOL course a long time ago. The material was informative and well-explained. I especially loved the interactive parts of each lesson as it broke up the reading very well.

As it's hard to cover everything about the grammatical structure of the English language and how to teach, there are external resources provided so that further reading can be completed. I recommend this course

What was your funniest moment?
Making up interesting lesson plans and questions
Pros
  • Grammatical knowledge
  • New technology
  • Student support
Cons
  • Not enough online learning info
  • Grammar could be difficult without a background in English related fields
  • Assignments were hard

Best TEFL Level 5 Diploma

My experience with The TEFL Academy was amazing. All the online material was easy to follow, well organized and very professionally presented. Even though the assignments were very challenging, the support I got from all the teachers was exceptional. I highly recommend The TEFL Academy. I am sure it will open many doors for me. I also took three top-up courses which allowed me to get more experience in my next teaching adventures. I am planning to teach in Asia and Central America where there is a huge demand for teachers.

The course is time effective. You can fit the course into your busy schedule and work on it when you have time. They provide a lot of support and information about everything related to the course. They always answer an email when you need help. When the course is finished they provide a whole lot of resources for what you can do afted you have completed the course. The informaton provided in the course is really helpful and teaches you a lot. They also provide recourses within thd course about each topic to help you after when you get a job in this specific field. I would recommend this course to anyone who asks.
