Bridge Graduate-Level Online TEFL/TESOL Course (150 Hours)

I took the 150 hour course, it was a great experience and taught me a lot. The Teacher was awesome and she went well above and beyond to help guide me and make me a better teacher myself. I had a previous TESOL degree but wanted to add this to my CV. I am also taking the Business English course and the Grammar course to round out my experience. I will be looking to teach overseas this fall, just not sure where I will end up yet

I attended this course not knowing what to expect but it is well worth the money and time. I learned so much that sometimes I was on overload. If you are looking to learn, become a better teacher, and/or trying to find a new career.

Make a positive and life-changing impact on the lives of others. Teach abroad and make a difference. Don’t hesitate to start here! This is where the adventure begins and you make the right choice to start on the right foot.

I did not know how much additional training and professional development in TEFL/TESOL I needed until I started taking the BridgeTEFL graduate level course. It was an exceptional experience that helped me not only revamp my skills in English language teaching but also equipped me with new theories and practices on the subject. You can hardly go through this program and come out untransformed, professionally. As a Ph.D. holder and ESL instructor, I went into this program with the intention of refreshing my skills and knowledge and has never regretted ever since.

I hated online classes when I was an undergraduate student, and I was really taking a chance by taking the fully online IDELT course. It well exceeded my expectations! My teacher, Ann Leonard was very responsive and the peer support forum was a very useful tool. The two major assignments were especially practical and helpful in applying my learning; I only wish there had been another 1-2 projects. This course was extremely convenient and well worth my time!

I took this course after 4 years of teaching experience. I do feel like I learned a lot from the course and was inspired to continued towards my M.A. in Multilingual Education. The instructor was very kind and knowledgeable. The assignments made me think about the material. The textbook was incredible and probably one of the best I have had out of nearly 20 in my TESOL studies. However, many of the other students in the class were inexperienced with teaching. I also noticed a lot of the students did not put as much work into their assignments without even proofreading for simple errors.

It's a really great course for those who are looking for their initial TEFL certification but is not at the level of respect that CELTA and DELTA are, so keep that in mind if you are already TEFL-certified. Many companies and schools have never even heard of IDELT actually.

It took me about 6 months, total, to complete the IDELT online program, along with 4 certifications: Grammar, Business English, Teaching Young Learners, and Teaching Online. The staff was great at being understanding and responsive to meeting my needs and addressing platform questions (Moodle was completely new to me).

I had never formally learned "how" to teach English before: the lesson planning in particular was a big challenge for me, which has ultimately paid wonderful dividends in workplace training planning. In fact, showing what I had learned in real lesson/training plans was instrumental in obtaining new opportunities in the L&D field, and helping other teacher/trainers to plan more effectively.

This class helped me understand what it's like to teach in and ESL classroom in various different countries. I was able to interact with my classmates through discussion forums and see the different experiences some of them have experience so far teaching. I was very grateful to have such an amazing instructor who responded very quickly when I would email her. She was very helpful in giving feedback as well. I really did enjoy this class and the readings.

On-line classes are not my favorite so I was pleasantly surprise with the quality of text, questions and videos provided by this class.

Videos were timely and held a variety of teaching styles.
The text was interesting and there was a sense that the author had actually been in the classroom and was able to weigh methodology.

I'm currently working with adult Korean women and I've been able to implement styles and strategies. Further I've found ways to do long term planning in ways that feel more balanced.
