Fast LMS system and an excellent course and value

I'm going to preface this by saying I already had my certificate apostilled before writing this review - I wanted to make sure that came good. I've already been accepted for a teaching position in Beijing via a recruiter I got from the site. Does that make things more positive? bsolutely, but I'd be recommending the TEFL Masters (TEFL-TESOL) course even if I hadn't found work yet. In a word, it's wonderful! There's too much to cover here, but you'll find helpful tutors, an organised course packed full of information and experience and ideas that really took me from having no clue to feeling ready to get started in a classroom in around 5 weeks. It wasn't a course designed for those looking to finish in an hour or two, but it more seemed geared to details and pushing me to apply the teaching knowledge it provided.

There were videos for every bit of text (even the tip boxes), and more videos of certain concepts, and even more videos in showing teaching demonstrations in places like China and Korea. I can't emphasise enough how important these demo videos were in helping me feel confident, to the point where I'd say not having them would make me feel the course (or any course trying to train teachers online) was lesser if it didn't have them. Maybe that's because I'm quite a visual learner on the VARK scale, but there's something about seeing something in action that makes it feel more achievable than just words. On that note, the assessments of the TEFL masters course were likewise excellent. There were a mix of passive and active practice questions when I read the text, then practice quiz questions with really detailed feedback, questions based on 'what would you do in X class if this happened?' (kind of teaching scenarios that eventually built into a full class experience of 'A happens now, so should you do B, C, D, and why?') Again, I can't emphasise the usefulness of these problem solving questions enough. This was exactly what I was looking for because they managed to teach me what to expect, and though I feel confident, I absolutely don't expect it to be easy. I do expect that I'll have a good base from which to start learning more. This learning experience was excellent.
