Very happy

I was very happy of the course and it was a great experience. I didn’t use the tutor enough the first time but will be less stubborn now. Thanks for this Ittt.
It really helped me find a job in teaching and improved my lesson planning. My English lessons impacted my students learning and it has great examples.

I will recommend the course to everyone who wants to have a certificate and have more skills in teaching good English lessons.

So far, so good!

I am in the process of making my way through the 120hr online certification with ITTT TEFL.

I am currently living abroad in West Africa. It is such a fantastic opportunity for me to bring my love of kids and teaching into the sphere of really making a difference in people's lives.

I have been a yoga instructor and massage therapist/instructor for 10 years and I wanted a change of pace and to teach in a different way and travel. This is such a great way to work, travel and enjoy life.

I really appreciate the organization of this process - the units and testing. It is challenging and inspiring. It is very educational and I feel like I am gaining great skills and competence to really make a difference in the lives of those I will be tutoring.

From tutoring experience in the past with individuals and groups of all age levels and educational levels, I see this as a great fit and next step in my journey and discovery of more of the world.

Thank you!

So far the staff has been helpful and has answered questions I have had in a timely manner. I look forward to where this will take me and definitely recommend the program to others.

Online TEFL

The online TEFL program is easy and convenient to navigate. I was able to complete this program while working full time and going to school and having a small child. I was able to complete the modules around my schedule. The curriculum was easy to follow and support was available if needed. Only concern is that I have been unable to find an online assignment using the certification. I have a Masters in Education but have been unsuccessful at finding online teaching TEFL positions.

Your Money's Worth

This is an accredited Course. That's the very first thing I wanna tell you. Secondly, the course without tutors is inexpensive compared to others I've seen out there. You can find free online TEFL courses which I checked out thinking I could save some money and would NOT recommend. I quickly returned to the ITTT website and signed up. The free course of that other website was filled with so many grammatical errors, you'd be ashamed of yourself if you ended up with a certificate like that.

ITTT is definitely worth the $239usd I spent for my 120hr course with no tutor. I loved the choice of being able to complete this course over 180 days. The multiple choice questions are not a walk over, so don't underestimate them. Tread carefully because you need a really good average to complete the course. I'm not gonna lie, there were times I hated having to do the MCQ's because I just wanted to hurry and do everything but the more you rush, the more your grades will suffer. So slow down and try to do 2 units per day if you see that the units are short enough for you to do that. You need a 70% average to pass but don't limit yourself to that. You need patience as well to do this, trust me. I signed up in December and completed my course in February of 2018. The lesson plan was the hardest challenge I faced with this online course but I completed everything and now I have my pristine certification for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. I was so proud of myself that I updated my resume with my new acquisition the very day I got it in the mail. Now, I work in China teaching children and the course units helped me prepare for it. Units like classroom management, lesson planning, and different ESA strategies have helped me in the classroom. Plus, after getting your certicate they also send you emails to tell you which countries you can find a job in and their blog has many helpful topics I browse through. The most recent one that caught my eye was saving for your student loans. So yeah, I would recommend ITTT to you to get started in the ESL world. I absolutely see how I got my money's worth with this course.

What would you improve about this program?
This program can consider making improvements to the lesson plan portion of the course. It was very frustrating to know in University, you created many A and B quality lesson plans and then it seemed like the marker could not give clearer instructions as to what was needed. In my experience, if I got everything in detail from the marker in my first email, I would not have needed to create a 3rd lesson plan. Furthermore, the hour which is given is not sufficient or realistic for the lesson. That lesson plan exceeds 1 hour which means cramming as much information as you can into the lesson. That's not cool! Perhaps ITTT can reduce the number of things asked for in the lesson plan and be more lucid in what they ask for.

Great online course

I started this course so I could teach over seas in Cambodia for a year. I didn’t end up going to camdbodia but so glad I completed this course anyways. It is user friendly and allows you to get your work don’t in your own time. The material is layed out in a nice organized manner. However some of the material used I didn’t even know and wasn’t familiar with. So it’s surprising to me. I am exspected to teach other people from other languages parts of English I don’t even understand. I know learning everything is a must but just an observation.

Learning in the land of Smiles

I did the General English and Business English courses as a blended program with a mix of on-line (I was working full time in a university) and residential (undertaken in a mid semester break). I have visited over 40 countries as an academic - and Thailand is one of my favorites. The opportunity to study on-line and do the residential component in Phuket was too good to miss. ITTT in Phuket had superb staff and great facilities - with the student accommodation providing real value for money. I have since retired as a Professor from Griffith University and have taught TEFL classes in Laos and Hong Kong. I now work as an English coach (on-line) with IgniteTalk, who are based in Bangkok.

A Great Startup for Beginner Tesol Teachers

This course was a great startup to building my career as a TESOL teacher! I’ve managed to work in a China for 2 years now with the help and guidance from my 120hrs course by ITTT. The lecture notes were useful and they helped a lot in getting a good understanding of crafting lesson plans. I didn’t opt for the tutor option, although I should have because it would have benefit me more I believe. Highly recommended for all!

INCREDIBLY EYES OPENING

I am a teacher from Nigeria. My oversees teaching experience began after I had a 120 hour TEFL course with ITTT TEFL.
In the past, I had always believed my teaching career was limited to my country, because Nigeria is not categorized as a Native English country, though I studied English Education. But after I read some articles from ITTT on the possibility of teaching English abroad as a non-native, I registered for the 120 hours online course. Sincerely speaking, it was indeed a wonderful experience for me. I got introduced to different modern methodologies of teaching people of different ages and backgrounds.

Oh, I can't forget how challenging it was to get through with my lesson plan. It was rejected twice, but with the step-by-step guidance and assistance from the reviewer, I was able to get it right the third time. Few hours later, I got the soft copy of my TEFL certificate, and in less than two weeks, the hard copy was delivered to me.

Getting a job was made easier through the regular job posts on ITTT TEFL Facebook page. From there I got my first offer from Mexico, and the second offer from Turkey. It is important to note that I was able to perform excellently well during my job interviews because of the correct application of what I learnt from the 120 hours course.

And within the last three years that I completed this program, I have recommended the program to a large number of Teachers, who also have unique testimonies about how the program has changed their ESL teaching career.

What would you improve about this program?
The program delivery is awesome, however for people that would love to be part of the in-class tutoring, I will advise the organization to open more offices in countries where they have more online students.

ITTT online

I have really enjoyed the ITTT online course. I feel like it has vastly helped me feel prepared for any future TEFL teaching that I may do, and it is very user friendly. I would recommend this program to anyone! The units take a little time and so do the videos, but it is honestly worth it. You are able to gain so much information from them. The tests are pretty straightforward as well and don’t try to trick you. Thank you for making this course so helpful!

What would you improve about this program?
Maybe provide online chat with tutors instead of having to send an email.
