Great value and way to kickstart going abroad

ITA offers very holistic guidance in getting you abroad. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, and they did nothing but inspire and help me to feel good about my decision to go abroad. The class was stimulating and definitely has helped prepare me for my new career. I’d recommend ITA to anyone who is unhappy with their career or simply wants to make a change by moving abroad. From admissions, to the actual instructors, the recorded webinars, and student affairs staff, my experience was top notch. ITA’s resources and network have set me up for major success abroad.

ITA: A great option!

I would recommend ITA to anyone; particularly, if you want to earn your TEFL while working full-time. The workload is manageable and insightful. The lesson planning assignments were helpful and my tutor, Wayne Walker, gave me great feedback. The best part of ITA is the support from staff. They are always available via email or phone to answer questions, give advice, and discuss your concerns. They were incredibly helpful and kind and reassuring during what can be an uncertain and stressful process. Take advantage of the job search guidance materials, alumni interviews, and free webinars.

What would you improve about this program?
I would suggest they continuously update the schools listed in job search guidance manual. Besides that, the manual was really helpful.

Would Recommend!

I would highly suggest getting TEFL certified through ITA! The assistance from the staff before, during, and after my class was always helpful and professional. I received comments and feedback on my resume geared at TEFL jobs abroad. The comments on my resume were very helpful and helped me get many interviews here in Costa Rica. I found the job that I have now in Costa Rica through the ITA job search assistance PDF. This is an amazing PDF filled with contact information for many TEFL related jobs within various countries throughout the world.

International TEFL Academy review

I was blown away by this program. It came to me at a proper time in my life and has open a door that ables me to follow my dreams of traveling. This program gave me the confidence I need to enter a classroom on my own. My teacher helped me to be as successful as I can be and my advisor helped me navigate the system to reach completion. I have never been more excited, prepared, or proud in my entire life. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the opportunity the International TEFL Academy has given me.

What would you improve about this program?
I genuinely cannot think of any improvements that could be done at this time.

Very satisfied

I just completed my online course with International TEFL Academy. To be honest, the course was more in-depth than I was expecting (which is a good thing, in my opinion). I have never taken an online course of any kind before, so I was a little worried about managing everything. The website/student portal was very easy to navigate. Even though I’m not the best at time management, I feel like the reading assignments and projects were spaced out well so I had enough time to complete the tasks each week while also working at my job. The student affairs reps were very helpful- I was feeling a bit discouraged in the middle of the course and one of them explained that this is normal and it will all make sense and come together when I’m in the classroom. Looking forward to my practicum and the adventures that are to come!

What would you improve about this program?
Overall, the course was great. If there were any changes made, I would like to see more examples of/instructions on lesson planning.

ITA TEFL Course Review

I really enjoyed my experience taking a TEFL certification course through ITA. I thought the course was really well thought out and executed. I really enjoyed the interactive online textbook with videos and links to other websites to help explain and demonstrate the concepts in each chapter. I also really enjoyed my practicum experience and how ITA set up that portion of the course. Throughout the entire course experience I felt supported and knew where to go to find answers to my questions. I truly feel like the ITA course has provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to become a successful English teacher. I am in the process of looking for a job and am very grateful for all of the resources provided to me by ITA.

What would you improve about this program?
I really cannot think of any big ways in which the program needs to be improved. The entire process went very smoothly for me from the signing up and my initial advisor to completing and submitting my final project and practicum.

Yes, many people take TEFL courses who are not native English speakers, they need to be proficient in English to be accepted into TEFL classes and have excellent English to be able to work in schools. Here's an article:https://www.internationalteflacademy.com/non-native-english…

The answer is it depends entirely on which country you choose to teach in. I made a lot of money in China but it is not an easy place to live.
