International TEFL Academy helped place me in a program back in 2018. The course took place in Hanoi, Vietnam. While there, I learned the necessary skills to receive my TESOL certification and was offered jobs in Vietnam and Thailand upon completion. The training program was fun and interesting. Our trainer was a wonderful human being from Australia who was very kind and personable. I made lifelong friends with several of my classmates. My path took me away from Asia, but without the TESOL certification I earned there, I wouldn't have landed a teaching position at an international school in Bucharest, Romania during the 2018-2019 school year. If traveling the world is something that appeals to you, receiving your TESOL or TEFL certification is an excellent idea as it practically guarantees you work opportunities all around the globe.
What other participants should know
- The course book was fairly juvenile, but the certification board required it.
- Class instruction time could have been cut in half in favor of more hands on training at international school partners.
