We loved it! (me + 2 friends)

I'm writing my review on behalf of myself and my two friends. We all enrolled in the course with the aim of going to China next year and everything has come together really well so far! We all finished the course this past week and received our downloadable certificates, and they're sending the printed certificates to my friends back home in Ireland, and to me in Seoul where i'm studying. They've also helped us to discuss with several schools in China to find one that's the right fit for us. We talked with a public school, a kindergarten, and two private language schools. We went for the private school as it was more flexible, and we've accepted offers to all go and teach together in March! We're really happy with the way things have pieced together.

Thanks from Thailand - Scotty.

When i was searching for a TEFL course, it took some time to find one that felt good quality and within my budget. I wasn't able to pay for an inclass course, but i feel like this was a good choice.

The course does well with introducing topics one step at a time, and shows activities which can be used to practice most topics with students. I liked not only being told what something was (like the Z conditional or difference tenses) but also being given examples of activities that you can use to teach these to students. The

All in all it was an interesting experience, and I feel like I have a good idea of what to do now that I've arrived in Thailand. The course also comes with a CV guide where they give you a template to download and then show how to complete it, and then they also take a look and make improvements for you. So now I have my TEFL certificate and resume ready for the new year.

What would you improve about this program?
I'd have liked more regular quizzes/tests. There are some quizzes already throughout the course but they could be longer or more difficult.

I don't think this is a real TEFL course

I signed up for this course in July based on the glowing reviews on here with high expectations. Working through the course I wasn't sure I picked the right one. Halfway through I asked if there would be material about teaching English. Most of this course was about the English language. There was little about teaching, and really few examples of how to teach. I think it's made out of texts for ESL learners.

It took me 4 hours to finish the 120 hour course and when I got to the assignment I had no idea what to do. I shared my feelings with a friend who's teaching and she helped me out. In the end I didn't submit the lesson or continue any further. My friend recommended a different TEFL course which was sooo much better. Only after completing that course I realized it wasn't my fault.

Choose a TEFL that has been around longer. This one was a complete waste of time and money.

What would you improve about this program?
Make this course about teaching English.
Provide examples and directions on how to teach the points you briefly mention.
Response from Let's TEFL

Hello Nick!

We're so sorry to hear about your experience, but we think that you might have our course mixed up with another provider.

After checking our system we couldn't find a record of you on our course, or in any of the chat logs with our tutors.

The course itself is also structured around 25% on initial grammar foundations, and then the other 75% of the course revolves directly around teaching different language skills, planning lessons, testing students, and selecting activities.

Getting to the end of the course in 4 hours sounds quite unusual too.

It seems like you may have confused us with another company, but if you'd like to get in touch we'd love to hear more about your experience.

I highly recommend Let's TEFL

It can be so hard to choose a course provider with so many TEFL courses available. I reviewed and contacted a few before coming across Let's Tefl. I was impressed by their comprehensive and practical course outline and appreciated their prompt response to my course queries. The added 'ESL Job Training' mini course was a fantastic added bonus too. I signed up immediately and was not disappointed. The course content exceeded my expectations and I feel have prepared me well. I really enjoyed the course quizzes and easy to navigate layout. A special mention goes out to Emma who was there for me every step of the way and to Justin for helping me with my work placement. You guys are fantastic! Thank you.

What would you improve about this program?
I wouldn't change a thing.

Excellent & Well-structured TEFL course

To everyone who wants to get a TEFL Certification,
Let's TEFL is THE provider!! The course online is easy-to-use, complete and extremely well-structured. You learn everything you need to teach all-level/type classes.
You might 'rediscover' the English Language (especially with verbs tenses) but don't worry!
The online support is there for you at every step of the way when you need it. Emma is thorough and patient. She will always answer you in a clear and precise manner. Most importantly, she gives pointers as to what to emphasize on and what to look for. When you get to the Lesson Plan (Final Assessment) level, believe me, she will guide you and give plenty of hints.
It was a real delight going through the whole process, so much so that I completed it in less than 3 weeks on a 2-3hrs/day, 3-4 times/week.
I strongly recommend Let's TEFL for its overall professionalism!!
Finally, I doesn't hurt that thee price is VERY COMPETITIVE.
I am, now, soon off to China (January) for 1-year contract. It was the best decision I've ever taken.

Awesome help from this lovely dude. TEFL course amazing but always read questions before answering them...there are a few tricky parts in the course. I did this course in 2 weeks and studied for about an hour everyday but grafted hard on weekend. After studying tgos course I have improved on my own teaching with my current class of 40 ESL speakers (yes 40 students in one class for 8 hours a day). I suggest even as a refresher course for teachers experienced and inexperienced.

I think you guys are doing a great job with what you have at the moment.

Great program & helps you find jobs before you set off! Highly Recommended!

I wasn't really sure which program to go with at first as there are so many out there, with varying prices. I decided to go with lets TEFL as I was very impressed with the level of service they were providing just via their website. Emma assisted me on the website live chat and answered all the questions I had about the program and also about work placements. They also help put you onto job placements in China, Korea, and Japan, which are the top 3 places I wanted to go. Just finished the course and in the process of finding my dream job :D Thanks guys!

What would you improve about this program?
I think it is great as it is.

Amazing Program with Helpful Staff

I was so happy with this TEFL program from day 1! The website was undergoing some changes, so I couldn't pay for the course through their website, but I got an email from Justin the very same day with my login information setting me up to use Paypal whenever I had the time to do it.
All of the staff has been so helpful and gets back to my emails almost always within a day! I was also a little worried that it would take me a long time to get through the course, but it really breezed right by! The information is so interesting and valuable that I was actually able to finish in just a few weeks (keep in mind that I just finished my Education degree, so some of it was already fresh in my mind).
The website itself is very helpful if you're not sure where you want to go yet (or even if you are!) and I feel that throughout the website and the course, they are very honest with you about what to expect. Even preparing to go halfway around the world, I really don't feel scared.
The course that helps you with interviews and resumes is a really important addition! In my interview for the job that I am currently getting ready to leave for in South Korea, I was complimented on the layout of my CV, which I used the template that LetsTEFL gave me for (and I can't tell you enough how important a clear and concise CV can be!)
Even after I finished my courses, Justin helped to set me up with interviews in China and Taiwan and has been very helpful in everything that comes with the job search and the preparations to go abroad, even though the contract that I finally took was through a different recruiter that places in Korea.
I whole-heartedly recommend taking this course if you are even thinking about TEFL! The information is clear and helpful and the staff even more so!

Thank you Let's TEFL for my certificate and for helping me to find a job so fast!

Completing all of the lessons and quizzes took about 3 weeks. All I did was to study the materials, and make notes just like reading through the text books during school and uni. Then I waited for the weekend before attempting the final exam and assignment. I passed the exam first time, but for the assignment where you must create a lesson plan I needed two attempts. The first time I completely missed the point of the lesson plan, but Justin gave me some really helpful feedback and set me straight. I passed the second attempt with 93/100, and received a copy of the certificate and my assignment feedback by email the same day. The certificate hard copy took about 7 days to arrive, and it also came with my marked assignment.

While I was waiting for the certificate to arrive I also completed the extra course they have for getting ready for interviews and class demos. When I finished that, Justin from Let'sTEFL helped to arrange an interview for me with two schools in China, and this week I have just signed a contract with one of them :) Now they are helping me to get my visa prepared before I fly to China in August. Up to now the whole process has been surprisingly smooth and stress-free. I'm very happy to give my full endorsement to Let'sTEFL and would like to thank Justin particularly for the support he's given.
