Very positive

I chose this first and foremost due to their curriculum, and second for price. It seems like most cheap courses only cover 12 modules, but this one has over 20. The first couple of modules were just intro stuff, but then the course got really interesting with useful content. Every module had maybe 5 to 10 videos, mostly with a teacher speaking to the camera, but some with animations, etc. which gave me a deeper understanding than the text parts sometimes covered. Most modules also had interactive questions that were a bit different from multiple choice questions, like they moved from one to the other in sequence as if teaching. These became really valuable as the course progressed because they made me think back and kind of imagine lots of things going on at the same time in a classroom. I think there were also around 6 or 7 real class lessons shown over the course which were incredibly helpful to go along with the imagination sequences. I thoroughly enjoyed the course.

What would you improve about this program?
Even more lesson scenarios! Honestly though, there are already enough. I just found them very useful.
Pros
  • Vast array of learning modules/topics
  • Value/price
  • The scenario learning
Cons
  • I recommend putting in some video quizzes
  • A live job board would be something I would've paid more for

Difficult to find a problem

I liked the course very much. I have learned many things from this, like how to make my class fun, make them with different activities and breaks, make them control, and make them balance with the listening, reading, speaking, and writing. I am confident in planning lessons and asking AI for help, even with adding vocabulary and grammar. I pay so little, but I get so much here. One time, I could not access my account, so I asked for help and got it in 5 minutes. I believe these people actually care about the student and serve the student, so I return this passion here.

Pros
  • Helpful
  • Teach me many new things
  • Passion for teaching

Great course and price

I was a tad apprehensive about doing this because it seemed a bit too cheap to be legit and, well, because it's an online course that eats up my free time. At the end of the day, though, I'm glad I did it. It was a great course with a lot more to it than I'd considered. It did take me quite a while to get through everything, but once I got into a weekend routine, it was easy to plough through it. I experienced one issue with a lesson practice time quiz getting stuck, but they fixed it as soon as I messaged. I feel like it was really well put together for beginners like me to be able to understand and learn even more than the basics, so I recommend it.

5 stars excellent

I have only the positives to report. The price is great and so I payed for the extra certification with the code. The course begins with free introduction lessons and then it is some grammar and many classroom management information but it is interesting and has some different quizzes and video questions y differente activities that make you think and review. I like the number of videos and helpful teacher tips that make me think about the real classroom.

I no experience problems o mistakes, so everything is smooth. I did not contact the study tefl teachers, but they send me 3 certificates 2 hours after I pass the final. I am very super happy with everything.

Pros
  • The price is very low for what you receive
  • The videos is easy to watch and text is saved easily
  • Everything is profesional and skillful

Excellent quality

To start with the positives, the 120 hours TEFL gave me a very good feel for what to expect in the english classroom, how to plan quality lessons and how to manage them. Despite the lack of practical teaching (which I know is for the ultra expensive TEFLs), I think the course did a good job of helping me picture and problem solve through the different scenarios they included in each lesson for me to solve. Esecpially good were the explanations that came with correct answers, though I would've liked to see these with all multi choice questions also. I wonder if they didn't always provide these to stop cheating. Despite a couple of minor things this was an excellent course with so many things that made me thankful. They told me the certificates can be printed at home, which I'll do if I need to but I've already used them in email applications and that seems fine.

I had low expectations

The reviews were good, but the price was so low that I expected very low quality. I love being positively surprised! Every aspect resonated with my learning style, from having video to the challenges that mimic lessons, especially near the end of the course. I could hear the voice behind the lessons, which helped me focus and learn easier like I was back in college. The admin email seemed to have someone working most of the time because the two times I emailed, they got back to me impressively promptly. To make the review more useful, I'd say a negative is that the course doesn't allow students to share ideas or make contacts with the cohort, but I'm unsure of whether that's a regular thing or just for online college courses.

Bargain basement price but actually class

When I got my certs at the end, I actually had a quick laugh to myself, probably out of happiness but also relief that it wasn't a scam. Seriously, the course is amazing but I was expecting them to ask for more money to get the digital certs emailed or something. The only time I had contact with them was to get my middle name added to my cert, and they did this quickly- I have no idea about the rest of their customer service beyond this. I'm sure the price had a huge positive impact on me but I really did feel that everything was well-organized with lots of video access.

Pros
  • Super cheap
  • Well organized
