I really liked the training I had, this course is a good start if you want to begin a teaching career. The course gave me a good idea of all the things you need to think about before starting a class. It also showed me lots of possible issues I will have to deal with and therefore it gave me a feeling that I am now ready to start teaching, and that is what I needed.

Overall I found the course to be very good and well put-together. The (although limited) interaction which I had with instructors led me to believe that they were very competent, as they not only provided me with a grade but also gave feedback as to what was done properly and what needed improvement.

In regards to the area of Job Placement; there was little to no mention about job placement throughout the course other than in a theoretical sense. Unless I am understanding this topic incorrectly, I do not think there was much emphasis on job placement.

Improvements which I would make would perhaps include more videos to the course material, as the amount of reading required is fine, but can get very dry and draining to have to read consistently. Perhaps videos which simply had the same content, but in a more intractive and engaging wayy than simply reading.

Having just completed the 120hr online TEFL course, I have to say that I am very impressed with the course as a whole. From the moment i started the course, all the way up until last assignment, I felt like I was being guided and never felt lost! The modules are very thorough so i always knew exactly what i should be doing, and the assignment guidance was excellent. I could not recommend this course highly enough, definitely a worthwhile purchase and use of time!.

I decided to do my TEFL training with The TEFL academy as they offered a blended course in a city close to where I live. I wasn’t sure what to expect as the course was cheaper than most.

The two day intensive practical course was well organised with a good mix of teaching and tasks and I came out feeling well prepared and looking forward to the online part of the course.

I found it easy to log in and access all of the lessons. The way the course works with a workbook and an end of module task meant that it was easy to work through the course learning and then move onto the next module when the time was right.

When I did need help the technical staff were quick to reply to my emails.

I am really glad I chose to do my training with the TEFL Academy and feel ready to apply for jobs and start my teaching career.

I think that the TEFL online course by the TEFL Academy is brilliant. Tutors are very helpful and provide very good support. The course is very well organised, with different units all very useful for teaching English. I loved this course.

I did the 120hr course online and in Adelaide Australia. The course is really thorough and covers everything you need to know. I feel a lot more confident going into teaching now.
