TEFL Courses & Certification in Africa

Ran out of time with my course and figured I’d shoot a hopeful/bashful email to these guys about an extension…they obliged and did so speedily. The course is great - especially the one on their LMS they moved me to with the extension. I wholeheartedly recommend them not just for their kindness but also for the course being so valuable. I did the 120 hour TEFL course, for reference.

Couldn't be happier! This course taught me far beyond the basics of teaching (at least that's how I feel) and showed me how great teachers handle classes of different ages. The video definitely makes this even more valuable, which I'd advise to anyone thinking of a more basic course that only has text. Video and all of their practical aspects make this course such great value, but the tutors or staff make it so approachable and have a really nice human feel. I was annoying before and after the course with questions and needs...they met those needs well so I'm meeting their needs with 5 stars!

The 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course, which I recently joined was such a great experience where I could get to understand the nuances of teaching English to students of different ages and language backgrounds. The course was encompassed every aspects of teachings, and it will surely be a great aid to my career ahead in English teaching. Our instructor for the course Michelle Benson was such a supportive teacher and a fabulous person. She was very much lively throughout the sessions and her energy was being transmitted to us. She is a really experienced teacher and it was evident in the way she guided us through the lessons. She knew exactly when to intervene. I really enjoyed the sessions. Thank you for the course.

All has been exceptional and beyond where I think possible for the next price. I have been lucky to find this course and am feeling courteous that I should make a review to share to others. The training is very high level for knowledge and technological.

Very informative job coaching seminar, especially for anyone just starting out in TEFL. Emos is an excellent communicator who covered a wide range of topics and answered any questions we had. The slideshow also included useful links to follow up on. Highly recommended for anyone newly qualified.

I used to work in Latvia for 15 years teaching English to young learners, companies and delivering personal sessions. Then I moved to Ireland and was offered a job of EFL teacher in one of the Dublin's language schools. It was a completely new experience since I had to teach adult students of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. I found it very interesting and challenging as well. I had to get used to different behaviour, attitude, perception. I was very grateful to my students who taught me a lot of new stuff, shared their culture, traditions, lifestyle. I would say I have a great job being among people, teaching and learning at the same time.

Yes, this is a course for teachers new. The cost of the course is not high. There is much comfort in learning on the website linked for learning in online. For the professors who are making this, they are making a strong course where it is safe to learn.

I had the privilege of completing the 10-hour TEFL Practicum course with Michelle Benson and it was truly incredible. Michelle is an outstanding, knowledgeable and passionate teacher. Over the 2 days, she made every session engaging, interactive and very practical. She has a wonderful way of breaking things down into simple and understandable concepts. I learned so much, both theoretically and practically, about how to plan and deliver engaging and effective English lessons online. I now feel fully confident and open-minded to start my journey as an online English teacher. Thank you Michelle for such an inspiring and impactful course. I highly recommend her to anyone taking the TEFL course.

I took this course with Michelle Benson and it was absolutely worth waking up way before the sun. I’m currently redoing my TEFL certification as it’s been several years since I’ve taught and the first time around I did it with an organization that didn’t offer this “in-person” option. I’m really glad that I took this as even though I have teaching experience, getting to actually practice creating a lesson designed for learners that were different from the ones I taught, and then getting feedback as well, was extremely helpful in rebuilding my confidence. Although a lot of that is due to Michelle’s instruction as not only is she knowledgeable, but she clearly loves what she’s doing and because that comes through it made it much more comfortable to actually engage and ask questions when we needed to. Honestly if she did another “in person” class on a different subject I’d once again wake up at 3am just to take it.

I recently finished the course and received an email to review. If you're thinking about doing this course, it's very good. I'd just say that you should do your research on what kind of job you're looking to get at the end of it, though. They told me it suits most 'entry or middle level' ESL teaching requirements but not ones like British Council or similar. I'll be going into this for the first time with my newb badge, so it suits me perfectly. I learned everything from past methods to modern ones like TPR and how to plan lessons for all ages and how to use activities to get motivation up and so many tidbits along those lines that I feel pretty blessed to have found the course. The resources given at the end of the course are wonderful (though I did need to email them to get them to sort out the formatting on a couple of them as they were restricted in width: they happily obliged anyway) so no real complaints.

Fantastic experience. I was expecting just a basic grammar course, but it went so much deeper into teaching skills, games, how to find work, and building a career. I have nothing bad to say about this program; I highly recommend it!

I found this teaching course particularly useful after completing my level 5 level English teaching diploma. The course content and administration were of high quality. Similarly, the teaching methods taught by Michelle Benson, really helped me to join the dots by putting theory into practice. Having just had a baby, this course has given me the boost I needed to pivot to a new career more confidently.

What can I say other than being extremely proud of myself?! I have never taken an online course before, but watching a movie earlier in the year put an idea in my head about me bing abroad and teaching English, and now I’m finally in a position where I can do just that! It wasn’t easy, wasn’t hard, but it was extremely eye opening, rewarding, interesting, and just generally well executed! I couldn’t be happier with my experience!! Thank you so much to all at TeflMasters for your support and kindness!!!

I let AI help me out with this one, which I've found has worked out every time I've done that, though my sample size is only 3 right now! The teflmasters website looked legit when I clicked the gpt link, and the accreditor OTCC checked out, so off I went with payment. After paying, you click through to their LMS and get going with the course. I waited a few days before getting into the modules, which I found took anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to get through. 120 hours is feasible, though I doubt anyone reads everything twice and watches all videos and all the other things. The text is really detailed and has lots of teacher tips and stories related to the topic, and there are many different types of learner groups covered as well as online teaching. I doubt I'll ever teach online, but I guess it could be handy if ever something like covid hits again. On the topic of AI, one review I read mentioned AI video voice, but there wasn't a single AI video that I saw or heard. The staff mentioned to me on an email that the text had been grammar and spelling checked with grammarly AI, which explains why there aren't any errors in anything I read, but the audio thing had me a bit puzzled. They potentially did have and then changed it. I personally wouldn't have an issue with AI narration or images if they helped me, but it was a nice touch having human narration, even if I only listened to it for the trickier modules when I wanted a review without reading. Honestly, I think the only thing missing is images, and if they're reading this review I'd say the only thing missing is a few choice images (though maybe not gifs!) in your text, AI or not. Regardless, I think the amount that I got for my money here was brilliant, so this is by no means a deal breaker. This is a great course with staff who seem to really care about their training quality. I hope this review helps. Thanks

This course was very enjoyable and beneficial. Michelle Benson is an excellent tutor who immediately puts you at ease. She is full of knowledge and experience and she shared lots of tips and advice with us in her fun and friendly sessions. A shout out to the lovely ladies in the group too, who also made this a great weekend. I feel very fortunate to have spent some time with them.

I have been feeling a bit lost as far as TEFL job searching is concerned, so it was a huge relief to get all of my questions answered. I learned a lot about online job sites (good vs bad, what to look for, etc) and I feel much more prepared to start applying. Thank you so much !

Exceptional support from these guys. Not sure how I managed to put a double space between my names on the cert, but I did, so hey ho. Anyway, long story short, I emailed when I saw my downloaded certificate looked a bit off due to the big gap. 10 minutes later, I had a new certificate in my inbox with 3 review links. Happy to oblige,, it was a wonderful course. Best of luck to you guys!

I will recommend the course to all students and graduated students who will like to learn how they may become English teachers. The course prepared me to have the confidence and the skills to succeed as an online teacher of English. I receive the feedback that I could use to improve my understanding to teach.

I'll leave a review to happily broadcast the high quality of your staff and teachers. The practicals course was the one I opted for and I found it highly rewarding. Tutors responded with relevant feedback, the tasks got me thinking about how to prep for lessons. The course even without the assignments was full from feedback. Thank you

This was gold for me. Not only was it affordable, but it hit the mark when it came to quality. I did a course a decade ago with ITT or something and found it pretty grim with nothing but a very to show for it. This course is properly engaging and dapper.
