Engagement & Motivation

  • Fantastic Service. They have been extremely helpful and informative along the way not only with the course itself but also with the legalisation process so if all goes well I will finally have it legalised pretty soon.

    Rebecca

  • This course went far beyond the basics. I was actually really impressed with it, given that I have done several other TEFL courses which were nowhere near as engaging or educationally challenging. I would recommend UK-TEFL and consider using them for future further TEFL training.

    Stephanie

  • I would recommend this course to anyone who has been teaching unqualified but has been teaching for a while and has gained a lot of experience and needs a teaching certificate to get their foot in the door somewhere. I've been teaching for a while, being awarded an 'In-house' certificate and gaining examiner status for most of the English Language Exams but was requested to have a teaching certificate more than 120 hours. That's why I would recommend the course - it's quick and as an experienced teacher, it was still useful to revise the basics!

    Mark

  • EXCELLENT. It's all new to me this TEFL and online learning. For me it's a steep but interesting learning curve The staff at UK-TEFL have been most helpful and patient
