My best online learning experience thus far

Looking for an international certificate, that's affordable, convenient and a work at your own pace course? TEFL is the right place for you.
This course allows you to work at your own pace and the units progressively build up and so you will not encounter something you have not been taught. Its a great way to beautify your CV and for those who want to experience a different culture altogether, go for it! I recommend this to University graduates more because you are still fresh from school and you have nothing to lose if you're going to stay in a foreign country.

What would you improve about this program?
Reference to job sites for graduates. Make it easy for graduates to visit sites.

120 Hours Online Takes Something

The course was a bit tough going (I still don't think I have those tenses properly sorted out in my head yet) until I got myself into a routine and then things started to go a lot smoother.

I recommend doing a unit a day of the 120 Hour online course, and getting the video package as well. Block out 2 hours a day. (I found that 10:00am to 12:00 noon worked best for me) and start by watching the video even if it doesn't make sense. Then when you read the PDF you'll get lots of "A-ha" moments "That's what they were talking about" For me it seemed to trick my mind into thinking I was recalling something, not learning something new. Thats my one big tip.

After you read the PDF print it out and have it with you when you need to recall things for the test.

One unit a day and in 21 days you'll be writing a review here as well. :-)

What would you improve about this program?
The tutors, I must admit they didn't "feel" warm when asking a questions. and in my case, the question I asked was sort of answered with a question, obviously designed to make me think, however I had already done that before I smashed out an enal to the tutor.

The best course ever

Having been involved in teaching English for a few years, I did a 120-hour TESOL course to deal with my problems. Should I talk about the productivity of the course, it has absolutely been amazing and efficient for me as it could cover most of my questions and concerns over both teaching strategies and class management while it was motivational and fun to follow the lessons. The topics and problems are structured and written in a comprehensive and organized way. In terms of teaching styles and plans as well as grammar, there is quite a rich diversity of information. The staff and tutors are always available, supportive and reply fast, they are very patient and polite. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I will keep you posted with the post-course progress. I recommend ITTT as the most cost-effective course ever to everyone. I appreciate your invaluable service!

What would you improve about this program?
I wish we had been provided with an opportunity for demo via connecting with kindergartens, schools or training centers.

Worth it!

I've learned more in these 4 weeks than I could have ever imagined! The course is challenging, tests your limits, and requires 100% of your attention. This is not a holiday! I am so happy and satisfied with the course and I would recommend it to anyone who is passionate and excited to take this course. You teach 2 classes every week, which is the best way to learn and adapt to the TEFL teaching methods. Warning: the course is not in the city of Florence as I imagined it would be. It is in Borgo San Lorenzo, a 40 minute train or car ride from Florence. However, the commute was definitely worth it.

My experience with the TEFL course!

I did the 120 hour TEFL course + CTBE S and this course has given me nothing more than knowledge! It was very interesting and helpful from start to finish and I strongly recommend it to early career teachers! I promise you, you will feel so much more confident than before! And also for anyone who wishes to have a clearer view of the art of teaching. The materials and resources are excellent; they are a great addition to your classes. Highly recommendable! 10/10! I am extremely satisfied!!!!!!!!!!!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I had 6 months to do it, but due to laziness and personal problems, I had to rush through it. So If I could go back, I would take my time to study all the lessons more thoroughly!

ITTT 120-hour TEFL course

I have just completed a 120-hour TEFL course and I am satisfied with this experience. I can say that I enjoyed ITTT online course. Firstly, it was very convenient for me, because I have a part-time job. Secondly, it is easy to navigate within the system. Here you can study Units one by one. The following Unit opens as soon as you finish the Test and you can do several Units per day (its good when you have a day-off). Finally, the course itself is well structured with many teaching ideas/tips and useful examples. For some topics, the common troubles are listed with possible ways of solving them, which I found rather useful. In my opinion, tests weren’t that difficult, however, sometimes they required knowledge of previous Units. For me it was important to include phone number on the post address and after my request, I got an immediate answer that it was done (special thanks!). My certificate is on the way and, in addition, I gained some knowledge, so I am satisfied with my choice.

What would you improve about this program?
I am satisfied with this ITTT online course, but videos in the Unit 10 might be a bit longer to cover more examples. Anyway, videos are good, it’s easy to ‘see the difference’.

Challenging but excellent

You do you have to make sure you have time and concentration as the programme is tough in terms of material to go through. You do need to make sure that you have 4 weeks to fully concentrate. Combining holiday and this course is not advisable. Making the lesson plans is really good to understand the flow of the CLT method. Also, an excellent opportunity to perform teacher practice. This is the key to success. In advance really do study grammar already as like many people I barely remembered any grammar and it is necessary to be able to support students on this journey as well as speaking.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Within 2 days into the course the classroom is yours. But with the excellent support you just have to do it.

TEFL 120-hr certificate course: Good quality!

I stressed for about a week, maybe more, trying to find a good place to get my certificate. TEFL accreditation is not regulated like universities are, so a lot of cheap places are just certificate mills that don't really teach you anything. I paid extra to get the videos and I highly recommend doing that! The videos were well-made and worth the extra dough! The course isn't too difficult and can be done in a couple of weeks if you knuckle down. It's also great quality and teaches you a lot about ESL! Highly recommend.

What would you improve about this program?
I would make sure the video covered all of the content. There were times that sections in the unit were not covered in the video.

ONLINE EXPERIENCE - 120HR TEFL COURSE

If you plan to teach English in a foreign country I recommend doing a TEFL course. The 120 hr TEFL course has all the ingredients needed to get you started in the world of ESL. ITTT caters to all audience when it comes to taking the course. I am very busy so I opted for the online course without tutor and videos. I worked at my own pace and own time. Do not fear, the site is easy to navigate and user-friendly. As native English speakers we often take certain things for granted but ITTT taught me differently and now I have a different perspective. Thumbs up ITTT!!!!!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The most surprising thing I saw was the penis festival.

TEFL 120-Hour

I have been teaching English for quite a long in Bangladesh. I didn't take any professional course previously. That's the reason I was looking for one that would be flexible for me and well designed to develop my skills further. I think this course has been great for me. I learned a lot. What fascinated me most is the support I received from ITTT. They offered me a free course after the successful completion of TEFL. Besides, whenever I asked anything, I always found their cordial response with utmost promtnes. The most thought-provoking part in this course is ESA: engage, study and activate. I feel that some video lessons could be included to show more examples of how ESA lessons are planned and implemented. Overall, this course is very helpful and eye-opening.

What would you improve about this program?
Inclusion of some other videos on ESA would be much more helpful.
