Intrepid TEFL

Despite having to wait around 2-3 hours on average for email responses, I recommend this course. I took the 120 hours TEFL and TESOL course, which turned out to be a very thought-provoking experience. There are units covering many aspects of teaching English that I hadn't even considered, like teaching kids differently, assessments, and putting students at the centre of the class. Everything was clear and all the jargon was explained and repeated, which obviously helped me learn it! There were quite a few videos, some of which showed real teachers in action for a full lesson: this was the most valuable part of the course for me.

I learned alot with IT. Their course (they only have 120hrs) is loaded with text and even has related videos and a good number of thought provoking quizzes and interactive tasks you do online. I did a lesson a day last month and cleared it easy enough. I recommend this for those looking for a course where you need to do a bit of reading, a bit of thinking, and not too much being bored with dense and wordy nonsense - they do a pretty good job of keeping everything simple and digestible for us non academic types!

This is a lucky find for me in chatgpt when I looked around cheap TEFL courses. The system gave me perhaps 3 choices and one isn't cheap even one part. From the two courses that remain, I looked at both websites and I decided that this one must be the better one with me. The website where one learns is very fast. The videos that they have are actually picked nicely for extra learning and the text lessons are clear and have engaging information. There is a review text and a quiz for practicing. All of this is excellent and not expected for a price of this. The price here is not what I paid. I have paid $27 for the intrepidTEFL 120 hour course. If I have paid $99 for it, maybe I would give 4.5 star because I would expect more videography.

The experience was good for many reasons: they've taken something that seems like it should be hard and made it pretty simple to understand. I see that as being a sign of them being good teachers. The website itself is a pleasure to use with fast sign up and responsive everything (I used my phone one day and though it was quite annoying with the small screen, the site handled it well - got some cheeky study done on the train).

The quizzes and click tasks are good for reviewing cos they give feedback every question. Lesson quizzes are fine - just have the text open on another page ;)

Really great course for a quick(ish!) certificate, though it seems TEFL courses aren't the same few hours that Reddit says they are, so don't be thinking it's done in a few hours. Nope! I actually enjoyed learning it.

Okay, so let's call it what it is - it's definitely a cheap TEFL course and it seems fairly new (I got chatgpt to do a full run-through on it): maybe 2 years old. F9r me, that's long enough that it surely would've been ousted by now if it wasn't legit, so I rolled with it and kept my fingers crossed. My gut was right - this is legit, and it's actually very, very good! Tutors answered my 2 emails within an hour and then within a couple of hours. The course content itself was lovely! There's a really clean feel to everything on their lms and despite a couple of minor glitches that they fixed (they said they just moved their course to that lms), it was super fluid. They have some interesting teaching techniques that help you picture everything in context, and quizzes were just right for difficulty. At the end, you just click to download your certificate which is accepted for online teaching. They told me I can get it apostilled easily if I ever decide to teach abroad, but that's not on my horizon (at least right now!). This was refreshing all in all. Strongly recommend.
