Ittt 50 hour course

The course was very informative and well planned. It had all the information broken down into nice blocks and was easy to follow. I enjoyed the tests which gave you a chance to challenge your learning.
Support was neither great nor bad. They sometimes answered my questions in a way that was helpful and other times were a bit dry. I would definitely tell people about the course. It helped me better understand and help my students.

What would you improve about this program?
Support can be a bit more effective. And videos would be great. The lesson showing the lessons taught were the most helpful.

A new direction

I had worked as an ESL instructor for many years, before I took my ITTT course. My instructor was very patient with me, but I did not agree with his suggestions.

Teaching by using the communicative system was completely new to me, and I fought a lot against it. I only believed in using lots of grammar in my lessons. My instructor was critical of my system, and he made me feel terrible. I only believed in my own way.

Time has proven me wrong. Eventually, I learned to understand the communicative system which has allowed me to develop my teaching skills not only in Spain, but also in Madagascar. Communicative system works better for those without grammar background in their mother tongue.
The program opened new opportunities in my profession, and I made some life time friends while living in beautiful Prague.

Thanks, ITT Prague, John. I have

Did the course while in between jobs

I decided to do the Tefl course although a native English speaker and have taught English for a number of years in several countries because I wanted to develop my craft. I was also in between jobs at the time and having been out of the classroom for a while it served as a wonderful way to keep plugged in to the trends of teaching and keep my skills sharp for when I would ultimately return to the classroom.

This being my first experience with any online education platform I was truly impressed. The options were many to suit whatever need the student may have, instructions were clear and the material was easily accessible.

Since completing the course I have found that my resume gets a lot more attention from potential employers. And since returning to the classroom the skills I learned from ITTT have been useful every step of the way

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps more assistance with job placement overseas especially for candidates from the Caribbean or other less developed countries.

Excellent Learning Experience with ITTT Online

I signed up for a TEFL training course in the winter of 2017. I was teaching full time and struggling to stay on top on my workload. The course was easy to manage, with clear expectations. I found much of the materials relevant to my classroom and students. Teaching and learning became fun and engaging again with this course! Once or twice, I reached out to the support staff, and my questions were answered within the same day! I would recommend ITTT Online to anyone interested in learning how to teach and reach more students or anyone who wants to get an excellent TEFL training.

What would you improve about this program?
I can't think of anything right now. Keep up the good work!

Great!

I did the 120 Hour Online Course as well as the 50 Hour Course specialising in young kids. It was very informative and simplified syntax and grammar in a way that is easy to understand and convey as a teacher. The tutor was fantastic and feedback was fast and effective. Not only did the course improve my teaching skills and grammar knowledge, but equipped me with material for the classroom as well, which I used during my entire two years in the classroom! I would recommend this to everyone as the most affordable and efficient programme I could find.

120hr TEFL Course (Online)

I thoroughly enjoyed doing the ITTT 120hr online TEFL course. I found the content of each lesson to be informative and very comprehensible. I was already teaching English online when I began the course and I was able to pair my practical experience with the theory provided by ITTT. It certainly improved my teacher ratings! I also really appreciated the review of grammar that the course provided. Having studied such material in a first language school environment before, it was very enlightening to see it presented as a second language learner would experience it. I have since applied many of the tips and methods from this course in my teaching and I truly believe that I, as well as my students, have benefited from this. Thank you!

What would you improve about this program?
The only improvement I can suggest is to include more images for visual learners such as myself.

Online Ease

I took the 120 credit hour online course without tutor assistance for my TEFL certification. It was an excellent course because it allowed me to take my time through the materials, balancing out my own schedule with the coursework. I now live abroad and teach English as a second language. The coursework prepared me well, especially in regards to lesson planning and grammar. I use my knowledge acquired from this course on a daily basis. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to teach English abroad as a good checkbox for your resume as well as training for future teaching jobs.

What would you improve about this program?
I wouldn't change a thing about the program I took. It was excellent.

Very informative

As an experienced English teacher, with over 10 years of experience, I was a little hesitant at first about completing a TEFL. The program, however, was very informative and I learned quite a lot of new and useful information. I have since implemented what I've learned and applied it to my classroom. The course has been advantageous and beneficial to both myself and my students. The program was perfect for me as I teach full time. I could study and complete the program at my own pace. All in all, I would definitely recommend taking the course, but be ready to commit.

Low cost but just a certificate

I thought the materials were useful, and I learnt a lot about grammar and some basic information. However, it was not very challenging, and too easy to pass. It was an online course, so there were no practical elements which is a major drawback. There was no online community discussions or group work either, so it was very isolating as a course.

It's great if you want a cheap, online TEFL certificate to add to your resume for an unexperienced teacher. However, practically it's not that useful in the classroom.

What would you improve about this program?
Make it more interactive, group work, more challenging with more feedback from tutors throughout the course, not just for the lesson plan final assignment.

Worth It

It was good to learn technical terms and grammatical forms that I did not know how to describe. Money-wise, it was expensive but I had a grant also that covered part of the cost. It was nice to know more about English from a teaching perspective and did widen my perspective and knowledge. I enjoyed that I could download and access content chapters and material offline which made it easy for me to do work whenever I could. The organization of ITTT and its format of learning a chapter and then doing a quiz was very methodical and easy to use/remember.
