Program Reviews

I have completed my course with ITTT, and I got my certificate. Thanks, ITTT.
With ITTT, you will learn to be the best teacher in teaching English.
With the TEFL certificate from ITTT, you can travel anywhere and teach English, without worry about your financial status. You can enjoin life and share your experience with people all over the world. Isn't that so excited? It is an amazing thing to do in life! people will know about you from all over the world and you will have friends and students from everywhere.

This course was a good introduction to TEFL, and a useful stepping stone for teaching. Whether you are committed to entering the teaching profession, curious to find out more, or simply wanting to find something meaningful to do during your stay in Hong Kong, I would recommend giving this course a try. It is a good way to become more immersed in and familiar with the culture here, and you'll be sure to make some new friends!

It was a totally different but awesome experience when you got to be trained to be a teacher and travelled at this beautiful island. The trainers are very helpful throughout the course. Just that it might be hard for non-native speaker, like me to get a job in Thailand. I chose this course randomly, at first I thought I would like to go to China, but another thing that I found out is that, the qualified teacher has to be a degree holder. Then slowly, some of the schools start to focus on BA on Education. It's good to have an experience of becoming an English teacher, anyway, just keep on trying.

The atmosphere of the course was friendly and relaxed and over the month I learned many subtleties about teaching and the English language that I hadn't previously thought of. The practical sessions were great and definitely helped to show me what teaching is like and whether I would want to teach in the future. I now feel far more confident in my desire to teach in the future and this course has been a great help in that regard.

A Very good experience. A perfect balance between theoretical and practical courses. Dynamic and very interesting courses delivered by very attentive teachers. You are really trained to become a teacher. An assistance is provided at all times if you need help during the program. With your certification you will be able to teach, travel, live and work abroad with an international TEFL certificate.
Thank you very much for this wonderful experience.

The class overall is great and worth the investment. There are many scheduled times in the course where you practice teaching English, from a Kindergarten (1x), university (1x), and adults (4x). The teaching experiences are very enlightening and helpful to "get your feet wet".

Atmosphere was positive and Dave + Larry (the current instructors) are very experienced. Be ready to do some homework now and then for the class.

I couldn't imagine taking a TESOL course anywhere else. Larry and Dave made this month go by quick and painlessly. Not to mention for only a months worth of instruction, I feel I have a solid foundation for teaching under my belt. Larry and Dave were a constant pillar of support, helping with anything from the course, to getting adjusted to Japanese culture to finding employment after the course. They helped refine the English skills I had already possessed into approaches better suited for teaching English as a foreign language. We were even given the opportunity to have practicum experience. We taught at a preschool, a woman's university, as well as one on one and group lessons (some of us). Overall, it was a great experience. If you're considering taking a TEFL course abroad, you can't go wrong with the Tokyo course. If you take it seriously, and take advantage of all the resources provided you'll get a lot out of it.

A fantastic course! The course is intense, and involves a lot of work, but it's completely worth it!
The hands-on teaching experiences are some of the best parts of the class. You will be able to use the concepts and principles that you learn and apply them in real world teaching environments.

The instructors are excellent too. Larry and Dave truly care about their students' success. They go out of their way to help you learn and understand what you need to know. They truly make sure that you are equiped for teaching English as a second language.

Top notch course ! Top notch instructors! Great experience!

By far the best course that I have ever taken my entire life! Instructors were very funny, helpful, and enthusiastic about what they do. Lots of materials available for student usage and reference. Plenty of opportunities for students to develop their creative skills and become their own unique teacher through lessons with students of different ages and backgrounds. Just be ready for the challenge because it will be intense! But everything will be worth it in the end with the friends that you will make, the lessons that you will learn (and plan!), and the amount of delicious Japanese food and drinks you will consume during lunch!

I signed up and paid for a dual course with my wife in 2007 just as I arrived in China for the first time. The school was so desperate to hire that they just enrolled me and I started working right away, even without a proper certificate.
Over the years, I've kept my training in mind and finally took the leap this year recontacting ITTT to take the TEFL-TESOL course. I was not sure what they would say but... after checking in their records, they accepted me for no extra fee!
The course was enjoyable and even now (teaching for a French University), I still managed to learn new things with their course! The ESA is a method I hadn't seen before and it opened a world of new possibilities. The lesson plan creation at the end of the last lesson took me the most time compared to the 20 lessons as I must have spent some 10 hours on it (sending it twice) to satisfy all the criteria.
All in all, I'm quite happy with the course, the challenging side of it and the customer service.

Now, looking forward to doing my complementary course!
