Good course it opens up for new opportunities

I liked the freedom to study at my own pace and where I wanted through the online courses. The support was good and the platform for studying as well. I enjoyed the videos. The online course is not too expensive. Doing this course opens up new opportunities around the world. It would be nice if the course managers would pair up students somehow to create a social network among the students even if it is just with another student only. It would be nice if the school had contact with employers and could also cooperate with employers and future and current TESOL teachers.

What would you improve about this program?
Some job adds don´t accept TESOL teachers with just an online Diploma. If there is a way you can solve this. This issue exists, you could be more clear about it and how to solve it from the teacher's end as well.

Thank you for your review, Antonio. We understand your concerns but we showcase a wide range of different teaching jobs on our website, from online to in-class and in a variety of countries. Each school has its own requirements for their teachers, which we do not have control over.

220-hour TEFL/TESOL Master Package

I have only completed the 120 hour TEFL Certification part of this class package as it contains three parts-120 TEFL Certification, Business English, and Young Learners. Hence, so far the first class in this package, the 120-hour TEFL/TESOL Certification class, was presented in a very straightforward manner which made me want to learn more. I thought that the sequence of the modules, having a module of grammar, followed by a module of classroom/pedagogy were also appropriate as the grammar and language units were longer and more intense. The videos reinforced the content well with real life demonstrations of pedagogy and thorough explanations of content. The final exam for this section challenged me to explore more about the role of teachers in helping English Learners learn the English language.

What would you improve about this program?
Include a lesson planning and ESA practice instruction activity for students to complete.

High quality 120-hr course!

I took the 120-hour course (w/o tutor) and I found it really informative and helpful. The modules were not too long, but not too short either. The handouts are very organized and well-made! I'm happy to have the handouts to look back on when I finally start teaching. They explained the concepts really well and I liked how they gave clear examples for the topics they discussed. I also liked the fact that they had worksheets at the end of each unit, I feel that the worksheets helped me in retaining the information that I learned. The website is also very easy to use so I appreciated that. I don't regret spending for this course, I feel that the quality of the materials that I got were well worth the money.

What would you improve about this program?
The program is actually really good already but I would have liked one or two more sample videos of teachers in the classroom.

ITTT 120 hours TEFL Certification course

Hi! I am Harini Sivakumar. I am from Chennai, India. I completed my 60 hours- 120 hours top course. I first did the 60 hours TEFL certification course and really loved it. So, I took up the 60 hours to 120 hours top up course which ITTT suggested. I loved a lot of things about the course.
The overview of the course helped me plan my studies. I loved the way the course is structured and there is a flow from one chapter to another. The course is not too easy to do, or too tough to handle. The grammar concepts were explained with examples. The chapters are self-explanatory and if needed the option of contacting a tutor whenever you need helps.
I liked the way the chapters were not too boring to read from or look at. There was a balance between pictures and words. Each concept had ideas which the teacher can use in her class and the problems that she might face. This helped me plan my classes better. The end of task sheet helped with knowing if I had understood the concepts or need to go through again before doing the unit tests.
The unit test consists of 12-25 mcq questions depending on the unit. There is a summary task at the end of each test that asks you to summarize whatever I have learnt in that chapter. I like that part of the unit very much because it serves like a revision and helps me with retaining what I learnt in the chapter for longer duration.
What I would like to suggest is if there is anyway to have a practical experience of teaching in the course, topics like lesson planning and handling learners can be put to use. It will help me find where I have to improve and how I can improve. I had an excellent experience with ITTT. I am going to join the Tesol diploma course and look forward to learn a lot from this amazing platform. Thank you so much ITTT!

What would you improve about this program?
I would really appreciate if there is a chance of practical experience in the course, where we might be able to take class to real students and get feedback from ITTT. Concepts like Classroom management and explanation to students can be put to practical use and it will help improve me as a teacher in various aspects.

Wonderful Experience

My boyfriend and I recently completed the 120-hour TEFL course through ITTT using the combined package for couples. The process was smooth from beginning to end. When ever I had any questions, I knew that my tutor was only an email away. Not only could I email ITTT for any queries but they were also extremely thorough in their responses and always responded within 24 hours. Thank you ITTT TEFL for the wonderful experience. I look forward to doing some additional courses to further my knowledge and qualifications.

What would you improve about this program?
The only thing that I would improve is the quality of the test questions. Although they do test your knowledge of the English language, I do not feel that they were enough of a challenge. Although maybe the course information was just THAT informative that you do not not need to struggle with the tests.

ITTI 50hrs Business English and 50hrs Young Learner English

My experience was a great one, I loved how quickly and helpful my queries and questions were addressed via emails. Also how helpful the online team was. I was nervous when I started because I didn’t know what to expect. But the person who recommended you to me assured me that it was an amazing experience to embark on, especially because I wanted to move from South Africa to Istanbul. That the program would be the best way to do so, because I will travel and work too. Thank you TEFL/TESOL for an amazing experience.

What would you improve about this program?
Honestly, I wouldn’t really improve anything. All that’s in place for the course I have done was really helpful and with all the extra reading that was recommended.

Highly Recommended Course

This course was fantastic!

I was nervous before I started the course, not knowing what to expect, but once I started the course the units were created in a way that it was easy to learn and comprehend.

I also like how throughout the units there were examples of templets of activities and lesson planning you can use for yourself in the future. Not only was the course great but whenever I had a question I always got a quick response back.

It really eased my nerves and made learning how to be TEFL/TESOL easy.

ITTT TEFL Online Course

Super friendly Team from ITTT Center, very helpful and always there when you need them. Course was nicely design and I really liked the online option to do it at my own pace/time. Learned a lot and great quality of support materials afterwards to help in the teaching career. Once I have the chance I'll do the additional course with a specialization on how to teach online as my goal is to teach young learners online. I did some live teaching in Thailand and the course really helped me in preparation of classes and teaching materials. Thank you ITTT, highly recommend.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Durian, Thai fruit that smells bad, to be honest, didn't like it.

Useful course during Lockdown

I wanted to clear this over six months and enrolled in Feb 2020.

We have to stay at home during this period due to the lockdown. So I enjoyed the learning. Got a job offer after that too. Thank you!

The best part is being able to do this at home and at our free time. I wanted to go to British Council to take up a similar course but it's hard to fit that in with daily job considerations.

All things considered, this is value for money.

Of course, in a physical class, we make friends. Guess we will have to do that part later! Good luck and have fun if you take this course up

What was your funniest moment?
I had to sing a song and tell stories to my class when the computer stopped working. So I structure the class to talk about their favourite songs and singers.

ITTT 120 hours course

I have just finished the ITTT 120 hours course without a tutor and I am extremely pleased about it!

The information in the course is really well explained, it's well proportioned and well organised. The tips and ideas that you can use in the classroom and really helpful, the suggested sites are extremely useful and the course is really easy to get through.

The platform is very friendly and I never needed any help or support regarding the course. I highly recommend ITTT! It's trustworthy and safe!
