Program Reviews

Since the latter part of 2017 I have been planning on taking this course. Needless to say, it wasn’t until July of this year that was able to enrol and I am happy I did. I was truly impressed by the quality of the material presented. I benefited from some great information. I thought the videos lessons especially were extremely helpful. They helped in making the information easier to grasp. As I went through each unit I was happy to learn different teaching methodologies that I have since implement in my own lessons. Maybe the most difficult yet beneficial unit for me was Unit 13: Teaching Pronunciation and Phonology.

As mentioned before the video lessons were pretty useful. What would be even better is having an actual demo lesson from an experience EFL teacher especially for Unit 7: Teaching New Language and Unit 19: Teaching Special Groups. This I believe would give added quality to the course and would be quite beneficial to inexperienced teachers enrolled in the course. I can recall watching an English comedy drama, Mind Your Language. In this drama the teacher had a multilingual class of adult students from various nationalities. He had a daily challenge maintaining discipline as the students would frequently offend their classmates with their comments.

Another area for consideration relates to the video lessons in unit 10. I was unable to pinpoint a major improvement between the teachings of both lessons. Certainly the second lesson was more effective. However, I believe that there could be adjustments made to both the Engage and Activate phase of the lesson to make it a more effective lesson.

Thank you very much. It was a real pleasure taking this course.

Being a native speaker from Cameroon with a successful teaching job in Ukraine after 2 years of hard work and determination, I had never for once anticipated the amazing benefits of taking a teachers training course until I came across the 120-HR ITTT course. As an individual who loves teaching and felt was at the peak, I wanted to justify my competence in teaching in which I was proven by the ITTT 120-hr course that learning never ends. The course provided me with proficient language ideas and methodologies which are currently very productive in my classroom lessons than were prior to taking the course.
The course units are well-structured and could make an excellent teacher even out of a person who has no idea of teaching English.
I am today a more confident teacher 'in and out' of the classroom,thanks to the 120-hr ITTT course with an upgraded CV attached to my teaching career.
The ITTT training is highly recommended by me . I would not advice teachers of English to give it a try because that sounds underrating, I would just advice you do it because you need it and its worth it.

If you can have the ability of English language with four skills; listening understanding, speaking, reading understanding and and writing at B2 level (upper intermediate) at least and if you want to teach abroad and like to be in differnt countries then never hesitate to apply to ITTT TEFL - TESOL courses either on line or with tutors.
The course is very well designed, ITTT family is always next to you to answer your all questions.
Time is flexible which you can study in 20 days or up to 6 months.
There is a unique balance of cost and affordibility that you never find anywhere.
You can be a beginner or already a teacher; if you are a beginner, you have a good challange to overcome, or teacher you can renew your all knowledge from the very beginning and have a different point of view.
Don't try to do it, do it now! ;)

Hello to you reader of this course review and hope this finds you well. I had a really good experience taking this course. If you think you can't have enough time to study; this course is for you. In my opinion, I couldn't be able to do an online course if it wasn't as flexible as ITTT. I took my time to study and then took my tests, all of which, based on my available time. As a result; I would recommend this ITTT- 120 hours course- to those who plan to study and take exams based on their available free time. The lessons were motivating. Each unit had tips for teaching; and pointed out the errors, and mistakes that learners and teachers may encounter. I'm planning to travel abroad and teach English and that was my motivation to take this course. I hope I was helpful in this review and answered some of your questions. Have a great day and thanks for your time.

I've just finished the 120-hour TEFL course without a tutor, and now I want to share my impressions. It took me a little bit longer than one month to pass it, and my speed wasn't extraordinary :) However, I surely will reread these units sometimes because there was a lot of information. Tests weren't difficult, but anyway, some questions made me scratch my head. Especially, I'm thankful for writing tasks at the end of the tests. They helped me to structure material and to find main ideas in every unit. Otherwise, I might be too lazy for this :)
Also, I want to add that at first, I faced some technical problems, therefore, I had a pleasure to communicate with the support team. They were very fast, polite and friendly.

In brief, information was well-structured and fascinating. It was both useful and pleasant to pass this course. Thank you.

My TEFL course through ITTT has been incredible, and I'm now getting started on the Teaching English to Young Learners certification. Once I've completed that I am excited to finish with their Teaching Business English certification. All of the units in their courses were in-depth with helpful, real-world examples and advice that complimented all of the information I learned. They have a lot to offer and are quick to respond to any issues or questions that I had along the way. After completing all of the certifications that they offer, I will be using their services to help me find a teaching job abroad. My main goal would be to be able to teach in Spain and I know they'll be able to help me make that happen. I have no doubt that this is the best company to go to for a quality TEFL education.

I’ve just passed my 120hr ONLINE TEFL.

It was amazing! I studied all the Units with enthusiasm and motivation. They are useful and well-organized. I’ve been an English teacher since 2007 and I learned a lot from this course. It helped me a lot to understand better many things about teaching and I’ve never thought about those before. The ESA method helps me a lot to plan my lessons and they are more structured with the method that I learned during the course. I also appreciated the huge numbers of games and activities proposed in the Units.

So thanks a lot ITTT team! I feel like my way of teaching is improved and my goals are reached. Many thanks!
I usually use the links added in the Units to make my lessons funnies and more original and it works!

I completed the 120 hour no assistance course. Wasn't that impressed.
Some lessons contained filler and some were extremely short, barely enough info to fill a pamphlet. Some lessons were about 15 screens long but they were covering English tenses and these subjects needed the extra just for a basic explanation. I felt there weren't enough examples especially in the more complex lessons.
The number of questions at the end of each unit ranged from 10 - 20. In many cases there were 4 sometimes 5 questions on a particular item where the answers were abcd or adcb or acdb. None of them were aace or ccbb. So if you got one wrong you automatically got 2 wrong. Some questions harked back to previous lessons.
There are only 2 videos provided in this course, used to answer questions in units 10 and 11. I didn't use any guidance, practice teaching and I don't need the job assistance so I haven't commented. Replies to questions were answered quickly. There don't appear to be a huge number of resources for fledgling teachers.
You are only taught a single teaching method. It utilises 3 phases, Engage, Study, and Activate. There is no mention of newer methods such as class/lesson flipping or gamification. Some of the material seems a little dated.
Finally, a pass of only 75% is needed. You get exactly the same certificate for a 95% pass as you would for a 75% pass so there is no need to bust your ass if you just want the certificate. There apparently is an accompanying letter which will assign a grade of A, B or C automatically. I asked for my % to be put on my certificate or covering letter but the response was that it wasn't something they offered. Certificates and letters are printed automatically.I couldn't even get a 2 line letter on their letterhead to say what score I actually got instead of just A B C.
In summary they deliver exactly what they say and nothing more. The course could be completed with a bit of effort in 3-4 weeks, less for some people. Ask for a sample lesson before you commit to the course.I'd recommend the course if you just want a certificate as soon as possible otherwise it's 50-50 from me. You can get a free short course if you leave a video review after completion and a moderator approves it. I elected not to do this.

I took the Online course without the need of a tutor. Unfortunately I would not advise this course or company to others. The course information given was far too simple and vague. So simple you are able to pass the tests with no problem but so vague that it doesn’t give you detailed information needed to write proper lesson plans or to really teach in a class room. When I reached several questions that clearly had errors or where to vague to understand, I reached out to the company for answers and was only told to pay for a tutor. Once I arrived to the lesson plan final I wrote one based off of the information provided to me through the course. Unfortunately I was told that it was wrong and to do it over. Needless to say I stressed and stressed about with no real help or clear guidance from the company. With the help of a friend who has been teacher for year abroad, she taught me to write a proper lesson plan. I was granted a certificate but the last letter of my name was spelled wrong. I ask for the correction and was told I would have to pay $25 - $85 dollars to have it corrected with a “it’s not my job” type of attitude and policy. “We don’t crossed check names.” Thank for the poor customer service. The price was the cheapest was the course was the cheapest at the time so I signed up. Now I see why it’s cheap. Definitely a disgusting, discouraged and angry customer.

This company was helpful from the start, and still is, ten years later with their follow-ups. The tutor assigned to you guides you and does not cut corners. I am glad I took this course. You get good feedback from the tutor. Unfortunately, because I too this course about ten years ago, I cannot remember the details. What I would say is, if you are thinking of teaching English, get some training in teaching English to non-natives. It does not hurt the opportunities that can open up for you. ITTT was reasonable and offers various types of classes and options. One is to study with or without a tutor, online and/or in-class. Iopted for online with a tutor, this choice was because of my location and also because I was employed full-time. I hope my limited information is helpful.
