Program Reviews

I took the ITTT online course because of my interest in teaching overseas, and found the program through a Groupon, not knowing what I was really signing up for. After many lessons later, I found my knowledge of teaching materials and methods expanded further beyond my practical experience (I taught elementary schools in NY). The information that is provided in this course can help start newcomers by giving them a good footing and sound strategies to work with, or as in my case, it can provide experienced professionals with more tools to add to their inventory and promote you to an even more effective teacher.

I recommend this course to anyone that is interested in teaching (whether it be overseas, or in the states), and to anyone who is also looking for a good deal on informational teaching courses.

The 120 TEFL online course is not groundbreaking, but it does cover the basics for teaching ESL. As someone who did not go to university for teaching, but is very comfortable in the classrooom, this course gave me the language and understanding for why I do what I do in my classes. Overall, the material was easy to understand and the quizzes were not difficult. This program is a quick and easy supplement to your teaching experience abroad, but I'm not sure how essential it is in regards to getting a teaching job.

I opted for the ITTT online course as a "safe" option when I first considered teaching overseas.
I found the course to be structured in a way that was easy to follow, and challenging yet not too difficult. The course actually challenged me to think more critically about my first language, as well as how people learn. Along the way I had a few questions about the course content as well as working overseas. From my experience, the help and support has been first rate and my contact at ITTT was very knowledgeable.
My ITTT qualification opened up more teaching opportunities that I would have otherwise had. It allowed me to find the perfect job, in the country of my choice.
4 years later I am still travelling and working overseas.
My ITTT qualification has proven to be my Passport to a new life experience.

The course was really good. Their course fees are reasonable. It helped me re learn things that I have learned while I was in school. It also made me learn new things and strategies for teaching and lesson planning. Most of all the certification from this course opened the doors for me into the teaching profession and has changed my life for the better! I recommended their course to some friends of mine and they are also happy that they took it. Presently, I am working on a diploma course with ITTT Online TEFL Course.

In my opinion, studying the TESOL online course preparation changed my classes. I used to teach in the traditional way, the teaching talking time was about the 85% of the while the students talking time was reduced. In this course I also learned how to catch the attention of the majority of the students and how to make the classes more interesting. As the world becomes more interconnected, it is increasingly important to build connections through language. Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is a six-course minor that provides essential training for the challenging task of teaching the English language at home or abroad in private language schools, community centers or bilingual programs, and in other contexts that do not require state certification.

iTTT Online TEFL Course is good. It covers most subjects necessary for someone to be a TEFL Teacher and it's based on a specific TEFL methodology - ESA -, although it also mentions other ones. The course is pretty straightfoward, easy to comprehend and very affordable. Being an online course, it's possible to study at our own pace (within a certain timeframe, of course). The one I got has tutor support and video lessons, which was great. I'd recommend it.

The pace of the course was perfect and was a great value. My sister previously did the course in early 2000 and has taught overseas since in South Korea and Saudi Arabia and now has a master's in teaching. It had owned a lot of doors for her.
Myself I got a degree in finance and have been trying to find work in my field sense being laid off over 4 years ago and now that my kids are grown I've decided to try something new and travel and make done money while I'm doing it.

The course I did, even if an online one, left me with a confidence I didn't have before. The material itself was very helpful and well organized, and it required of me just the right amount of dedication it needs. It was very enlightening to see how different approaches towards language education are being taken, and taught to the new generation of teachers. I'm happy I took the step to start my formal education to be a better teacher, and I'm glad I did it with ITTT.
I didn't have any issues along the process, but I'm sure the staff would have been very helpful if I'd encountered any problems.

The ITTT online course was the beginning of my teaching career, and five years later I can say it changed my life. Since completing the course, I have taught in four different countries in Europe and in Asia. This course gave me the confidence that I needed in learning the fundamentals about teaching before I was able to actually go in the classroom and start doing it on my own. The assignments for the course were very challenging, but also very practical so that almost all things that I learned in the course have been directly applied throughout the past few years of my teaching. I would definitely recommend taking this course!

This program was perfect for my needs. I had found out a little late in my application process that the job I had applied for in Seoul, South Korea wanted me to have a TEFL certificate. Luckily, I could do this one online, at my own pace. I found the lessons helpful and informative. I used a lot of the information I learned in the classroom. I was able to get my final test done early enough for it to help me with the final paperwork needed for the job.

I ended up not needing the certificate for the job I got because they finally accepted my law degree, but because of the certificate, I received a higher bracket of pay, much more than the cost of the ITTT program. I definitely recommend it if you want to teach English as Second Language in a foreign country.
