I feel very confident that I can be successful as a teacher of a foreign language. I really liked the content and access of the course. This content was very thorough, well set up and easy to complete when committed to engaging all students.
The course is very informative and provides an in-depth explanation of everything a teacher needs to become a successful EFL teacher. The tests are straightforward and closely reflect the material covered throughout the course. Some of the units can be a little wordy, but they are nevertheless helpful and contain a lot of useful information. I did not interact much with my tutor, but the feedback provided through grading was helpful, although it was occasionally delayed. Overall, the course was informative, thorough and a valuable learning experience.

Great experience with TEFL Graduate's 120-hour course. The units were well-structured and covered everything from classroom management and lesson planning to pronunciation and testing — practical, not just theory. Self-paced format made it easy to fit around my schedule, and I came away feeling genuinely prepared to teach, not just certified. Highly recommend to anyone starting out in TEFL.

This course was really great and I felt as if I learned how to be a better teacher whilst also compartmentalizing the vast complexities of the English language. The course was set up to where it was easy for me to review the necessary material that would be helpful in each quiz and assignment I took. The Check Your Understanding parts where very helpful as these were mini-reviewers that was great for me to retain the information that I learned throughout the course.

This was a great class. I could complete it on my own time and I learned a lot! I especially love the suggested activities. Some of the videos were not necessary since they just repeated the classroom content. Also, I felt that Assignment #2's word limit didn't provide me with the adequate space to outline what my suggested activities would be so I was penalized for having incomplete answers. If I were to write more than a few sentences for my responses, I would have had a more complete answer.
This course was affordable, easy, quick, fast, thorough and prepares you for teaching abroad!

Great courses ❤️
Overall, I enjoyed the course. I believe it was thorough in the topics that were covered. I appreciated that a variety of learning techniques were included (e.g., visual, audio). I appreciated that there were quizzes along the way to assess learning. I would have liked to have had a practice exam before taking the final. A study guide for the final exam would also be helpful.

The course was very well structured and detailed. A book at the end or a study guide will be very helpful seeing that a lot of information was shared during the course and a book covering everything, would be a very useful reference guide going forward.
