TEFL Courses & Certification in Barcelona, Spain

I intentionally paced myself with taking the Level 5 course so it took me about 5 months to complete. The website is easy to use and was always accessible. I never experienced any downtime. The course material is easy to follow and provides great references, good examples, with tests along the journey that can be retaken if required or even desired. The assignments are very challenging, and re-enforces topics covered in the course material. The CopyLeaks tool was easy to use very insightful. In fact, it helps to ensure that students are actually doing their own original work while trying to keep plagiarism to an absolute minimum. The student/tutor support is excellent. Tickets were easy to raise and manage with my questions and/or clarifications which were answered almost immediately in many cases and at most within 24-48 hours. Guidance was also provided which was extremely helpful and encouraging. It was this support that really got me through to completion. The webinars were enjoyable and re-enforced the topics covered online and in the assignments. In addition, the webinars were consistent at a set time and day of the week which was perfect. The webinar format worked well too with about 30 minutes to cover the topic and 30 minutes to ask questions relating to the topic. Some webinars were an hour strictly for Q&A which students could ask any question regarding any topic. The instructors had a lot of teaching experience, shared their experience when asked, showed a lot of patience as well as their passion and love for teaching. I had never taken a full online course before and always thought that I was an in classroom learner. However, this experience has revealed to me that with the right tools and human support that it can actually be enjoyable, less stressful and even more cost-effective. This has been an awesome, enjoyable, very demanding yet extremely rewarding experience. Thank you TEFL Academy.

The most important part for me when choosing the course was its reputation and the ability to study at my own pace. I enjoyed the speed and intensity with which the materials were presented. It started off very slowly—and I would even say basic—but gradually progressed into more complex topics, all while still maintaining a beginner-friendly approach. As a beginner, I felt comfortable learning and completing the course. I also felt supported throughout, as any questions I had were answered—not immediately, but very quickly. Overall, I definitely recommend it. It’s a great choice, especially for someone who is just starting out.
