Initially I was sceptical but I would highly recommend for people wanting to seriously teach and travel

When I heard about Gotoco and saw the website I thought it might be a scam, but despite the lack of clarity in some areas on the website it is a good company. Your experience probably depends a lot upon the partner school or organisation, as it connects you to another org, but gotoco provides the qualification, flights and experience for free* (Instead of paying for nothing you get your money returned, so it is dependent on completing the course and qualification). This isn't particularly hard to do but it takes a while. I haven't received my money for the flights back yet and I returned from 3 months in rural Colombia in December, and have had the qualification finished for a month now without being marked. Despite this, I had the best time, had amazing opportunities to travel, and met some really lovely people. I didn't find it too intensive, but I know others on a different programme that had it harder in the city and were less connected to the other participants. If you want to do teaching I would highly recommend but make sure it's something you want to do before going out, and keep a good record of everything to have continuity in the school's curriculum (depending on where you are this can be a management issue). I had done some TEFL training previously and thought it helped because the training given beforehand for my programme was limited. I would do it all again if I could go back, as the community there was so prevalent and I experienced things I never had before.
