TEFL Course Review for The TEFL Academy

The 5 Best Online TEFL & TESOL certification courses in 2023 & 2024 - trustedteflreviews.com

The TEFL Academy review, submitted by David.

It’s been about 4 years now since I graduated from the (168-hour) Level 5 TEFL course and I can say that I still use some of the course materials in my classes to this date.

Sure, they charge you for your TEFL certificate, but I think most schools do that anyway.

I remember the course being very professionally run and communication with the school was always very good too. Taking my TEFL online meant that I could study at my own pace and also meant that I could continue working while I made my way through the course.

You will cover all the TEFL essentials while taking this course and it will properly prepare you for when you start teaching in a real classroom. It’s true that some teaching practices would have been a nice addition, and The TEFL Academy provided this service for an additional cost when I was studying with them, but I was a bit short on money at the time and decided to just take the written course. I think a lot of what you will learn anyway will be when you actually start teaching so I wouldn’t sweat it so much if you come out of the course without any actual teaching practice experience.

The only con of the course that I can think of (apart from needing to pay for certification) is that it took them a bit of time to issue my certificate. It wasn’t a major con, but it would have been nice if they had been a bit more involved once course completion had been reached. Otherwise, all in all, a very decent, well-rounded course that will prepare you for teaching in most English classrooms overseas.
