Program Reviews

This course was what I needed to qualify for a work permit at the Kindergarten I am now working at in China. I had all the other qualifications and have been working as an English teacher for around 16 years, what had been missing was a certification that allowed me to prove this qualification, so thanks to ITTT I was able to do that.
Now I am working abroad as an English teacher, adding up to the experience that I already have, learning new things and having a great time.
Who knows where I'll go next. ;)

Overall I found this course to be well organised, and a fairly comprehensive guide to TEFL teaching. It's designed and written clearly and is easy to follow, and useful not only for those with no experience in teaching English as a foreign language, but also for those who already have some experience in the field. My only regret is that I took the 60-hour-course rather than the 120-hour-course. Later I found out that many countries require at least 120 hours TEFL for legal full-time employment. However, I've found out that it is possible to extend the 60-hour course to 120 hours by doing a "top up course" for a reasonable price, and shall certainly do so when time allows. Overall I found studying online an enjoyable and comparatively stress-free experience and would definitely recommend this course to anyone.

I would like to share my experience with all of you. I'm a graduator from the Pedagogical University. I've had an experience in teaching English at the primary state school and at the English courses for children. From time to time elder people ask me to help them with studing English. According to my education I'm a teacher of the Primary school or a teacer of English at primary.
According to my job I' ve always had a lot of questions as to the methodology. Because all the groups are different, different levels of English, even the amount of the pupils can vary.
I like the words: more you know -more you understand that you don't know nothing. So it was the main point for me why I've choosen the Ittt 60 hours course. To tell you the truth I found all nesessary and perticular unswers to my questions.The information of the course has a good structure and all the points has a good explenations. The examples of the tasks goes with the Units. From all the Units I did short plans, so it's easy for me now to look up for information. May be this course wasn't complecated for me because of my previous education. Good points of this course are: In short way you have an opportunity to recolect all grammar and it's usage; the unit about Phonetics is perfect;
the combinations of materials.
Some words I would like to add about the tests foolowed after every unit. They help to confirm your knowledge before passing the controled test.
I practised all the advice given in the course and the lessons became more interesting, the children atended the lessons with great desire.

As a native English speaker and fully bilingual English-Italian speaker, I needed a certification to enable my teaching in local Italian schools and allow me to participate in public call for bids.
Someone suggested ITTT TEFL online course and all I can say that it was worth it! Ever since I have obtained this certification, my work experience has grown substantially. ITTT TELF have always sent me updates on where I could go and teach around the world, but for the time being I am based in Italy and am not interested in those proposals, yet it is refreshing to know that I will always have that option to choose from if I ever need to go abroad.
I recommend ITTT TEFL online course if you work during the day and cannot attend a regular in-person class. They are very serious at marking your work and the tutors are always available to help.

I arrived in South Korea with a college degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2007. At that time, that was enough to get a job teaching English in a private academy. But in order to apply for University English teaching positions, I needed to add a TEFL certificate to my resume. I searched online for different ways to get my TEFL certificate, and I found the ITTT Online TEFL Course to be the perfect match. You have 6mo to complete the course, and you can work at your own pace. And the price is very reasonable, considering that you are only an email/phone call/chat away from your course advisor at any time. I would recommend that anyone considering a TEFL/TESOL certificate consider the ITTT Online TEFL Course. You won't regret it!

I just completed my 120 hours TEFL certificate, and I am really happy. I have learned a lot from this course, very interesting and informative. I now have a better understanding of how to teach English to non-native speakers. I completed this course in less than a month, with an overall average of 95.83%. The unit tests were very manageable. The lesson plan was a bit challenging, but I was able to succeed in my first attempt. Thanks to ITTT for the wealth of knowledge I have gained from this course. I now look forward to using what I have learned in teaching English to non-native speakers. I hope to gain employment soon to teach English in China.

I studied foreign language education at the university, but got into management after. I decided that I was wasting my life not seeing the world. This program was perfect for me and my background. The course was easy because I had studied similar topics. The difference is that this program helped me reach my dreams. I am from Ohio, but I currently live in Turkey. I have an amazing career that ITTT helped me find after receiving my certification. They also have a great Facebook page that I can follow to learn more about TEFL employment opportunities and the TEFL community. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to see the world.

The online ITTT course worked well with my busy schedule. I am a mom of four, and was easily able to balance studying and life. Although I am not directly teaching English right now, what I learned has definitely helped me in my current position at an international school in Nicaragua. I am a librarian and also taught English to 9 the graders for a short while. What I learned with ITTT has made me more aware how most of the students at the school learn and how I can help them.

This is a good course as long as you are self motivated. It is not difficult but you need to put in the time and effort to read and complete the course. They send links of places where you can find teaching jobs but it's very general. I already had a job lined up in Korea, however if I hadn't of had that I think they would have been very helpful in helping me to find a job as they respond quickly to emails.

Great course!

I found the online TEFL course to be extremely beneficial, and the support staff to be courteous and helpful. The flexible hours worked well with my busy schedule as I could work around it. The organization of the course flowed smoothly and I was able to complete the course without any issues. The materials given were useful for actual lesson planning and I used in my own class when I went to teach English in South Korea.
