Great Online Experience

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!

Support

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!

What would you improve about this program?
Can you come up with a video to help make the lesson plan please? I had to redo my lesson plan three times and it was frustrating...If you can come up with a video to guide the students on how to effectively write a lesson plan then it would be a brilliant idea.

Less Visual Aids & Pictorials

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!

Krismar´s review on ITTT online course

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.

Maybe it was my mistake but I did not find a proper page, where different options to teach abroad, are offered.

Great Course

I enjoyed the online TEFL Course by ITTT. The units were challenging and well explained. I paid for the optional tutor, which was a great help when I didn't understand something. I loved the recommended resources and creative ideas. I am currently taking another course from ITTT. It is to teaching English to young learners. After that, I will be taking the teaching business English course. So far, the teaching English to young learners has been great too.

What would you improve about this program?
Opportunity to submit lesson plans and have them critiqued before the final lesson plan. Also, a few of the links to extra resources no longer existed. Maybe the course could be updated every year.

Great tool and experience!

I took the ITTT TEFL Online course before my trip to Asia and I must say it was an invaluable tool to be able to find a job and make a living.
Without this certificate, I probably wouldn't have been able to find a job so quickly. It was a great tool and due to the organization's great prestige and reputation, I was highly respected.

This certificate enabled me to stay in Asia for 2 years, then I was able to work in Italy for some time before heading to Central America. It has served me in 3 continents, and counting.

I highly recommend it to anyone interested in traveling and getting paid while you travel. I've been able to have amazing experiences, and meet great people, all because I've had this on my CV.

It has paid itself many times over, it was one of the best investments I ever made on myself.

Keep up the great work and I look forward to using my knowledge and certificate for years to come!

Good value for price

I chose this program because I wanted to do it online, quickly, and for not a lot of money. For the price, it was good value, though there could have been more support from staff as well as guidance to getting a job after the program. Some more hands-on teaching experience could've been nice but that is something to consider if doing the program online versus in a classroom. However, since it was less costly than other programs, this is what I expected and I still got my TEFL certificate which is what matters.

What would you improve about this program?
More hands on work like actually teaching in class, as well as more support from staff.

Great introduction

I think that the program that ITTT offers is really wonderful. It’s not overpriced and covers a range of topics that are helpful.
They have a good mix of topics including: grammar, pronunciation, classroom tools, games, activities and parts of speech.

I think that the program is a great one for beginners and those who are starting a teaching career. It’s like a primer in a way. I think that they could have gone more in depth for certain topics, and some grammar parts are a little thin.

Overall though having a TESOL certifaction course for this price is amazing. ITTT has a wonderful presence and always post guides on jobs and possible job opportunities.

I was able to secure a Departure of State internship creating English lessons for the Islamabad embassy because of this program.
I’m hoping to teach abroad because of my certificate and my internship.

Overall very satisfied 95/100

What would you improve about this program?
Increase the topics covered, for grammar and parts of speech.
Also expand into idioms, phrases & expressions.

I finally learned correct grammar!

This started with a simple desire to teach overseas. But it turned into a challenge, one I didn't think I would have a problem facing down: English grammar. I'd never had a problem using it, but could never explain the "why" of how it worked. With ITTT, not only did I have a rigorous course-load of creating lesson plans and practicing the grammar, but I also had an instructor who would not settle for anything less than my best. My course was online, so communication was in email form, but I always had my questions answered and work responded to quickly. I came out of the course prepared to use and teach grammar as I had never before been prepared. I highly recommend this course and company. Not only do they offer valuable support and learning, but they also continue to communicate with graduates post-completion, offering opportunities to work or study abroad that I otherwise would not have accessed.

ITTT Online TEFL

I took both the 120 hour TEFL & 250 hour TESOL Diploma courses. PROS: The cost is extremely affordable, course layout is convenient and do-able, staff respond to problems/questions quickly CONS: Many jobs prefer in-person courses, not much of anything for job assistance, the 250hr program had several typos/grammar errors and wasn't very professional.
Overall, taking the course can be helpful (esp if you haven&t previously taught) BUT I recommend doing an in-person course for networking, credibility, &the overall experience.

What would you improve about this program?
Fix all errors, hire a professional proofreader and curriculum development staff. Provide real job support, not just a list of websites.
