I absolutely loved doing my course with Tefl Academy ! The website was very interactive and easy to navigate through my learning, the tutors responded very promptly to any queries and I had any concerns, I could easily log a ticket and within a day or so I would get feedback...which for me was professional and so appreciated! In fact I just received my certification today which came literally to my door! Im so happy honestly !

Overall, a very positive experience

The quality of information and audio-visual content on the level 5 course is really professional. It is obvious that a lot has been invested in bringing this type of content to prospective teachers and it is much appreciated. The tips and overview of the global TEFL environment is very informative. The course is good value for money and highly recommended.

I had a really positive experience completing my TEFL course. The content was very clear, concise, user friendly, practical, easy to follow; even for someone new to teaching. I appreciated how the course balanced theory with real classroom strategies and this made me feel confident and prepared to teach. Overall, it was a rewarding experience and I loved how supportive I felt throughout. Some great honest feedback with my assignments too and this helped me with the skills and confidence to teach diverse learners of different levels. The flexibility allowed me to study at my own pace. The videos were extremely helpful which boosted my confidence in lesson planning. Thank you to the Team at TEFL.

A solid experience that actually delivered what it promised.

As far as online courses go, this was the best experience I've had so far. It was practical and well-structured. I've been teaching English for some time, I thought I wouldn't learn much but I was honestly surprised. The course is organized in a way that makes it easy to follow, and at the same time it goes deep enough to make you reflect on your own teaching.

I loved how the course connected theory with real classroom situations, it's not just reading and answering questions, you actually see how things apply in practice. The examples, lesson ideas, case studies and explanations helped me improve what I was already doing and also correct some habits I didn't even realize I had.

The support and communication were also the best. Whenever I needed clarification the guidance was clear and helpful.

I would have liked to have at least two observed lessons(online of course) and get feedback on how I did. One more thing I think they could add is IELTS exam preparation. But overall, the course delivers a lot of value and feels very complete.

Best course you’ll do in a while

TTA’s Level 5 TEFL course was the best thing I have done in a while. The course is well-structured, well-paced, and gives brilliant insight into every aspect of TEFL. Prompt and in-depth feedback was given on every assignment as well. It’s evident that TTA is passionate about what they do. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Excellent study materials, great resources. Highly recommend.

I completed my TEFL Level 5 certification with the TTA and I had a great experience. The sign on process was easy, the course materials were really engaging and informative, and the communication with the TTA team via email was timely and smooth. I learned a lot from this course and I feel confident unlocking my career as a teacher. The TTA also provides job application resources, including templates for cover letter and CV which are helpful. Great value for money and I would recommend. For reference, I completed the online and in person certification.

Great customer service, good course

They have amazing customer service and tech support!

As for the course itself, the information provided was thorough and well thought out. The website doesn’t just make you read walls of text - it is structured to keep you engaged, with little activities and quizzes along the way. I enjoyed my TEFL experience immensely.

Excellent TEFL Experience- Highly Recommended

I had an excellent experience with The TEFL Academy. The course was very well structured, clear, and straight to the point, which made it easy to follow and stay consistent from start to finish. Everything felt highly professional and practical.
What stood out the most for me was the detailed and constructive feedback on assignments. The tutors didn’t just mark the work, they gave helpful corrections and guidance that genuinely improved my understanding and confidence.
I also believe the course offers great value for money, especially considering how widely recognised the qualification is. Overall, I’m really glad I chose The TEFL Academy, and I would confidently recommend it to anyone serious about getting TEFL certified.

Stellar course

Stellar course! It's very well organized, and the platform ran smoothly as well without any issues. I never had to contact them for support throughout the entire course, which is a huge plus. The course was clear and easy to follow. The assignments progressed smoothly in difficulty; I enjoyed the challenging parts immensely! The TEFL Academy truly prepares you for your teaching journey rather than just handing you a certificate. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering a high-quality TEFL course.
