TESOL Diploma

It was an excellent experience. The material is so good and simplified.I'm so glad I took this step and so proud of it. The videos were about 20 mins average, They usually repeat what's in the reading folder but briefly. so I used to read first then watch the video. The quizzes are multiple choices that you will find fine if you read the reading folder well and watched the video carefully. The written assignments were challenging, It's considered the hardest part of the course. I wish you all good luck.

Keen to teach English!

I thoroughly enjoyed the material in the TESOL certificate course. The lectures and reading material were engaging and informative. I devoured the content, from start to finish, at a rapid rate, over consecutive daily sessions. I am keen to continue my journey as an English Teacher to speakers of other languages.

I am glad to say that I now have my TESOL certificate from UNI-Prep Institute. However, I also have a Diploma of Computing Technology from Camosun College in British Columbia.. For the past 25 years I have worked in the Information Technology field. This has given me a wealth of technical and business experience. I am a certified project manager (PMP) and I have worked as a Project Manager and team lead on several IT projects..My TESOL course was a 120-hour course and I have completed five hours of practical teaching experience. Furthermore, I have experience mentoring new members of my Toastmasters International club.

Such a good online course!

This is the best online certificate course to get my TESOL certificate for me,it was at a competitive price! The course work was simple, effective, useful, and extremely use convenient. On the occasion that I needed to contact UNI-Prep, they were extremely punctual and professional. The instructional videos(with the slide of PPT) were very easy to understand. They really do all they can to set their students up for success. Seriously not only do they teach you how to teach the English language, but they also give holistic teaching advice and stress caring about the students we'll potentially have in the future. I would like to recommend this Institute, and already have on numerous occasions to friends interested in teaching English overseas。

A very positive learning experience.

Although I have been teaching for quite a number of years now, I thought of searching for some new input other than that I usually receive from my working place. The present covid-19 pandemic situation made me also seek some specific training to be able to teach online. I came across this program and thought that it really fitted what I was searching for because it gives one all the information one needs and also prepare you to any student level and to real classroom experience. Its laid out is simple, clear and provides excellent knowledge as to how students of different ages, levels, and cultures learn. I found the examples and the coursework to be of great value as they encourage you to think at times in a lateral way. I will recommend this course to anyone aspiring to become an ESL teacher!

Great and practical course overall

I found this course very comprehensive and full of good content and material. Along all the course I could follow easily each topic with very extensive information on every aspect of teaching English that one could need. They provide you with every tool to become the best teacher and help students meet their language necessities. You can download all the material to re read it when necessary which is very practical. Also, friendly interface and easy to use. I would recommend UNIPREP for achieving this goal.

Great Course for a 120-hour Certificate!

I needed a 120-hour TESOL or TEFL certificate to be able to applying for a job teaching English to Chinese students online. I registered for Uni-Prep's course and was able to budget my time with the self study program to complete the course in 1.5 weeks. This was ideal for me! I loved the self-pacing, combination of video and readings, and the quizzes that could be taken twice so that I could review any missed material. I think that the program depth and breadth was good and there were always works cited at the end of the readings for folks who want to dive in deeper. I would recommend this program to colleagues!

What would you improve about this program?
I think that each of the quizzes should have been the same length of questions. Some were 7 questions, while others were 8 or 10. This lead to inconsistencies with the weight of each question.

Highly Recommend this Program

This program was exactly what I was looking for. It is filled with great information to prepare any student at any level for a real classroom experience. It is well laid out, provides excellent background and context as to how students of different ages, proficiency, and cultures learn. There are great examples included and the coursework encourages you to think outside of the box to be a part of a fun and effective learning experience. I 100% recommend this course to anyone interested in becoming a ESL teacher!

Great Course

I loved the experience because it was very flexible. I could learn in my own time and was given space to be able to finish the program.
The program delivery was top notch. It was clear and I can easily reference it because I could download it.
It really broke down teaching English down to entry level. I have been teaching for a while but I finally understood how to teach writing, spelling and punctuation better. I even learnt some new concepts from the listening and reading sections. It is a great program indeed.

What would you improve about this program?
There should be more practical based questions for it.

10 out of 10 would recommend

The material provided was very concise. The PDFs provided are viewable online as well as available for download at any time (no need to do each unit in succession, and you can refer to the content again once you have finished the course).
I have been teaching for years and I still learned a new few things. There are also a lot of references to other online materials and resources to really help you improve your knowledge of the subject while improving your quality as a teacher at the same time.

The test questions are clear and the answers challenge you to make sure you have understood the materials. Multiple choice questions are my favourite kind of test. I was still stumped by a few questions though. That didn't matter much. You are allowed to review your answers after your first attempt, review the materials, then try again.

If you want to watch the videos though, you will need a VPN if youtube is not freely accessible in your country. Apart from that, it was a good experience.

What would you improve about this program?
Hosting the online videos in more than one location to make them accessible in more countries.

A well-rounded ESL course

I enjoyed the course overall! I like the go-at-your-own-pace aspect; it took me about 3 weeks to complete. I have yet to apply to jobs, so I'm not sure how to Uni-Prep name and accreditation will fare, but I'm still excited I can start applying for positions now! The course is straight-forward and easy to navigate; I didn't need any help through the course so I'm not sure how available they are to their students, but the enrollment letter says "please allow 1-2 weeks for a response." Overall, I liked the experience and feel more prepared to teach English.

What would you improve about this program?
The videos could have better sound quality. I think practicals are vital to learning effective teaching, and they are not easily accessible through here.
