Program Reviews

Parts of this course seem simple when you read the unit material, when you get to the test at the end of the unit they make you pay better attention for subsequent units. I started with the 60 hours and then upgraded to the 120 hour after completing the 60. The advantage was having to write two lesson plans that were evaluated and both sent back for refinement. This is not a rubber stamp get your certificate program. It is more robust than that.

The ITTT online program was an excellent fit for me while teaching overseas. Even though I came into the program with an educational background and licensure, there were new methodologies and strategies that I gained from this course. After completing the program, additional doors opened for me, in terms of job searches and countries that were interested in my skillset.

I totally recommend this course for working expat faculty and those who are considering teaching overseas, or even an ESL/ELL position in the states.

Thank you for this opportunity to study and learn from a qualified program with interesting and useful content. In the years since I have completed my TEFOL certificate, I have continued to look back at the materials to get ideas or to give guidance. It has been a valuable resource, and I am grateful for the experience (in addition to the added benefit of being able to put it on my resume!) Overall, I learned many things from my experience during this course, but I think the most useful part was the game and activity ideas. I have referred back to these more than anything else.

So I met my wife in the USA - we both worked on cruise ships. We agreed to live, I planned to retire from clinical medicine, in Chiang Rai. We bought a house and went out to celebrate with a friend. She comes out with "they have started a new medical school in Mae Fah Luang University, an English curriculum. You used to teach medical students. You should apply for the job". " what job?" " You live here. You are a physician. They must need you!"
So back to the ship for a final contract. I had prepared and left a standard CV and paper work at the university. An e-mail. An interview on my return to Thailand. And suddenly full employment as a lecturer.
Better get a teaching diploma thought I, at least then I might know what I am doing. So an online ITTT course over December and Christmas.
I found to my surprise that I enjoyed the course. Direct, practical information, not easy but again not so difficult.
So then an up to date lecturer commenced work and 5 years later.....

After making the decision to travel for extended periods, I knew that teaching English in non-English speaking countries would be a way to finance my travels. I was in Central Africa at the time, so the online course was great. After doing some online research, I found ITTT and felt that this was the way to go. I was able to access the materials at my convenience and was able to complete the course very quickly. Their website was easy to navigate and it was a step by step program, finish one step and go to the next. Even though I had purchased the course with tutor support, I did not have to use the tutors. The teaching materials were informative and easy to understand. On completion of the course, they send the certificate very quickly.
Since that time, I have shown my certificate to all of my employer and have been continuously been employed as an English Teacher for 3 1/2 years!

The online ITTT Tefl course has done great thing in my teaching profession. Taking the ITTT Tefl course is a great privilege and a plus to my career because it improves my skills and knowledge as an English tutor. The online training permits me to partake in the course from where I am located and at my own convenient time,even though the internet connection might be challenging in rare occasion. The content at each unit is well understood and explained .

I was slightly skeptical of doing an online program for this type of teaching and training, but was amazed at the level of instruction, guidance, and even the challenge involved! The reviews and feedback were very helpful and it helped me learn a lot from this program.

Overall, this was a great and fun learning experience. Completing the certification has allowed more doors and opportunities available to me... and that is priceless!

I have to admit that the support I got was always timely. My questions were politely answered and assistance was offered whenever I needed it. I also got my certificate on time and for this I will always be grateful. I have referred two of my friends and they have the same sentiments too. I was also lucky because by the time I made the payment the course had an offer and the prices were low. Keep up the good work!

I would recommend to incorporate some of the Visual representation which really help new learner to keep everything in mind, no one can memorize so much of text. Also update course videos qualities which are incorporated, as in some videos board is not clearly. visible. Fee charges is in fact higher for an Online course, other competitors is charging half, so that should also be think upon. This is My honest feedback, I enjoyed the course with lots of learning specially ESA.... Thanks a Lot ITTT!

First of all, I had been already teaching English for a year. However, I was quite improvising and not so sure what I was doing. ( I was doing conversational English on my first year)
But ITT online course provided me a theoretical and practical framework, like a compass to guide in my future´s teaching experience. I found it helping that it reminded me the parts of grammar. Furthermore, I think that the every chapter provided teaching methods and games for certain parts of speech and grammar was like a blessing for future lesson planning.
For a very busy person like me, I appreciated that I could choose my own pace to complete the course, as with everything in life we busier and more relaxed times. It was also helpful that after completing a chapter, I had to write a small summary of what I had learned.
However, I did not like the long explanation on phonetics and functions of mouth, ears and etc. I understand it is important when dealing with a language but it was too complicated and I would say not enough connected with real life that is real lessons.
I am really grateful for fast feedback to my course work that is a study plan that thoroughly analyzed my strenghts and weaknesses.
