“I thought our tutor in Brighton was excellent-Joe Piercy. He was entertaining and gave the appearance of being laid back but was in reality incisive, motivating and thought provoking. The online information was interesting and covered a balance between EFL philosophy and practical lesson planning. I never felt I was just going through the motions as each assignment was stimulating and at times challenging. The work was marked promptly. The comments were encouraging but at times a bit general-more of a verbal version of your mark. I would definitely recommend the 120 hour course.”

“If you are looking for an enjoyable and flexible way to learn how to teach English as a foreign language, then the TEFL course will meet your needs! The 20 hour weekend is quite intense, but is just one weekend and a fun one at that. You have the opportunity to teach (in another language if possible!), meet other people doing the same course, and to learn the basics of EFL teaching. This, combined with the 100 hours online is really nothing considering that you are allocated a year to complete the whole course! The online modules are great, they provide more than enough information and are extremely helpful when it comes to planning lessons for the assignments. I could not fault this material, it is very straightforward and thorough. Furthermore, if you need help with anything, there is a way to contact a tutor directly through the TEFL log in page (which you will be able to access after you have done your 20 hour weekend) and they respond quickly and efficiently. The assignments are fairly considered and do not ask too much. The grammar exam is also much more simple that initially expected. I spent hours practicing my verb tenses, yet am pleased that I did as now I can spot them almost instantly. It is surprising how you forget these sorts of things that are taught in primary school, and yet they are vital to the English language! To anyone looking to further their career in teaching and possibly teaching abroad, I would recommend this course!”

“I am so pleased to have chosen to complete my 120hr TEFL course with The TEFL Academy, who over the past 6 months have provided me with such amazing support and invaluable advice to really prepare me for my first teaching position in Thailand in October! When looking to complete a TEFL course, it was important to me to have the 20hr face-to-face teaching element of the course (2 x 10hr classroom days), which in practice, proved to be truly beneficial in allowing us time to plan lessons and practice delivering them to our peers. Our tutor, Katherine, was truly excellent and provided us with a great insight into her own TEFL experiences abroad and gave lots of tips and useful resources to use in our own teaching. The online element of the course was appropriately challenging and rewarding. It was at all times clear of what was required of me and the instructor feedback was really prompt, detailed and constructive. The 10 online modules followed a logical series and provided lots of information about the different elements of teaching English. There could have been perhaps a little more opportunity to practice lesson planning during the online aspect, but otherwise the course presents lots of information and serves as a great foundation for your teaching. For best grades, do your own research and use other sources in your essay and make sure you prepare and revise thoroughly for the grammar test. The TEFL Academy have been superb and I would recommend to anyone looking into TEFL to use them to gain your qualification. It has been both informative and enjoyable from start to finish!”

“I just finished my TEFL course and I cannot rate it enough I would give it a 10 if there was the option. I loved the online learning experience and I love the 20 hour teaching practice. I hope to start travelling soon and to be able to get a job. Loved the course would do it again if I had to. I cannot wait to start travelling and to use my new skills. Thanks”

“I chose to do my course in Plymouth as it was my local centre and chose the Tefl Academy as my course provider because I had read good reviews about it and it was the only one that offered any class time which I felt was an important element. It was a very long and hard weekend of work but invaluable in my understanding of what would be expected of me as a Tefl teacher. Our tutor was engaging and very informative. Preparing my first assignment on line was daunting – it was the first essay I had written in more years then I care to remember, however the feedback was swift to arrive and encouraging and I realised I was on the right track immediately. With regard to the course content, I feel that the module information provided was a bit limited and was very pleased that I had invested in some additional reading material so that I was able to get a broader picture. I am very pleased that I have completed the course and very grateful for the help and advice that the Tefl Academy has given me whilst completing it and now am looking forward to my first job teaching English as a foreign language.”

“I studied this course in order to introduce another career path. I am a nurse and may wish to consider guiding foreign nurses through their work with enhanced English. Furthermore, I may consider retiring in the next 10 years and wish to cease my nursing and embark on something else. TEFL makes a good fit! I enjoyed the course, the materials were appropriate and the assignments interesting. Here's to looking forward to preparing my career ad and first appointments! Well done TEFL Academy!”

“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 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”
