When I purchased my ITT International TEFL and TESOL Ltd certification course the pandemic was happening and I was wanting to get qualified to teach English so I could further my education and start working because at the time I had lost my job (service industry).
The course was terrible - just a few videos and some clunky text - and my tutor was the guy who runs the program. James Dwyer.
It was so bad that I asked for a refund and James said it wasn't possible because of the pandemic. I immediately smelt a scam and contacted my bank, who managed to get my money back.
I now read online that the whole program is a scam and it is backed by a fake accreditation website and that James fakes most of the review for his TEFL programs.
ITT International TEFL and TESOL Ltd tried to scam me but I was one step ahead of the scammer. I count it as a lucky escape.
Others haven't been so lucky and have found out the hard way that a certificate from this program is now considered worthless as any employer just needs to check the program online and they will read all the customer complaints and the irrefutable evidence of this Online TEFL/TESOL certification course scam.
Buyer beware!
