The course shows real world application of the course material. I like the mixed media format of learning. I wish some of the longer videos would have been split in 2 parts . Learned alot of tips and tricks that i feel will be helpful in the future
Thank you for the review Lee, we are glad you enjoyed the course and will pass your feedback on to the development team.
My online teaching experience
June 19, 2026by: Gladman Sipho Faku - South AfricaProgram: Online Level 3 TEFL Course
As I had indicated before, my embarking on the TEFL course was to become an ESL Teacher. The course empowered me very much and the coursework itself was structured in a well defined manner. After each unit I could not wait to start on the next one. I also want to appreciate the advice from the newsletters I read. However, I would need more support in becoming an online contractor
We are glad to see that you enjoyed the course and our newsletters. This is the start of a new career for you, and our student support team is still available to offer advice on starting your career at [email protected]. We also recommend taking the Teaching Online and 1:1 top-up course that all students can access if you haven't already done so. Best of luck!

What inspired you to travel abroad?
What inspired me the most was being able to help people achieve their dreams of travelling and teaching English in other countries around the world. Some people are in the middle of switching careers after many years and seeing them follow their dreams just as I did at some point in my life and take such a big step, is admiring and gratifying.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I have worked in educational/travel industries for over two and a half years now. I love to work with people who are looking to broaden their horizons and experience new things. Our students will go out into the world and teach others the very valuable skill of the English language. It is great to be part of the process. It is great to assist people in reaching their goals of becoming a certified TEFL teacher.
