is an award-winning, fully accredited TEFL/TESOL course provider. TEFL Express
One of the key projects in TEFL Express over the last year has been to create a brand new video-based TEFL course, delivered on a new learning platform – 150 hour TEFL Essentials Course.
I have been asked to review this course and give feedback.
While this course is the same setup as the other courses they have to offer, this one is more in depth and a lot more hard work.
You have a video to watch or text to read and a mock exam or gap/multiple choice questions to answer. These give you an insight into the final exam.
These are the course Modules.
Classroom Management
Skills
Lexis and Phonology
Grammar
Lesson Planning
Approaches and methodology
TIPS:
Pen & Paper
Have a pen and paper handy to jot down any notes you feel you might need... I used a lot of paper... ha ha
VPN
I am currently in China and have to use a VPN to access this course. This makes the internet very slow and some of the time the video doesn't load properly a faster WIFI connection or a better computer can help resolve this. There are other ways to get the information such as knowledge and observation downloads.
Relevance
This course is a great way to get a feel of what is expected from you and the information is second to none. I have been working in China for 2 years now and I love it, this course has given me a huge boost and insight into the classroom environment.
Support
As this is a brand new course there were some inevitable issues and problems using the site but as soon as I emailed the TEFL Express team they were on it. It was sorted out efficiently and very professionally, despite having umpteen emails from me and on a Friday! But this is to be expected so when you guys reading this decided to GO FOR IT and take your TEFL you will be safe in the knowledge that I have already ironed out any creases in the system and it will run nice and smoothly.
Of course you may still have some problems (technical issues or running out of time on your hours) but TEFL Express are right there next to you every time you log into your course. The instant chat is fantastic and easy to use and your reply is usually instant. The customer support team are fantastic and a special shout out to Romana (whom I have probably driven to drink now) Sofia and Rosie who chose me to try this course out, without you guys I would never have finished.
Do the course, live your life and travel the world!!
