I completed the Qualifi TEFL Level 5 Diploma with the TEFL Academy recently. I am so glad I chose to do it with them. To begin with, the course modules were very well designed, engaging and interactive throughout, from start to finish. The testing style and feedback provided for improvement was really constructive. TTA was effective help a novice like me learn the key principles of teaching, as well as giving me the confidence to go forward and use this in my future ESL pathway. The support for aspiring tutors by the experienced staff and tutors of TTA is stellar. I recommend everyone who is interested in ESL teaching explore courses with this dedicated group of teachers and support persons.

TEFL 5 course review

I took the TEFL 5 course, and I think it's the best investment of time and money I've ever made! Even though I'm an experienced ESL teacher, I learned so much from that course.

I took it because I want to start teaching online as a freelancer and later travel and teach as well, so I needed the certificate to tick that box. It was a lot of hard work, and it felt like I had returned to uni for a couple of months, but it was totally worth it!

Everything you need to know to start teaching ESL is there. The student support is also amazing! I totally recommend it!

I am so glad to have the opportunity

I am proud to say that I successfully completed my Level 5 course with The TEFL Academy, and overall I had a really positive experience. I’ve learned a lot of valuable and practical information!
The course is easy to follow and well structured. The modules build logically from grammar and classroom management to lesson planning and teaching different learner types. I especially liked the lesson planning assignments because they felt practical and prepared me for the real thing!
The online platform is actually very simple to use and also flexible. It was easy to study around my schedule. In addition tutor feedback was helpful, clear and easy to understand.
The Level 5 qualification is also a big plus, as it’s well recognized and helps when applying for jobs.
Overall, The TEFL Academy offers a well rounded, professional course that I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a career and an opportunity to teach English.
