Did all of the things we were promised and gave us jobs before the last day

The course met my expectations. Did all of the things we were promised and gave us jobs before the last day.

The training was great in the classrooms, and gave me confidence for when I leave. Trainers were all lovely, helpful, and accommodating. Were always willing to go above and beyond.

About the guaranteed paid employment placement it was 100% what was asked of ITTO, and I was given a job before I left.

Although it is overwhelming, the moment will pass and you will feel very prepared when you leave.

This course is intensive but it goes by fast and it is worth every penny

The course met my expectations. It matched up with all of the research I did. I appreciated all the support.

The teaching practices gave me plenty of experience with different levels.

The trainers met more than my expectations in punctuality, communication skills, accessibility, and professionalism. They were all great and very supportive.

This course is intensive but it goes by fast and it is worth every penny.

My opinion about Guadalajara is that they are nice people, very reliable, easy transportation options.

The guaranteed paid employment placement met my expectations and more, it was extremely helpul.

It met my expectations on getting trained to be an English teacher, but it was more intense and consuming that expected.

The teaching practices were very educational and prepared me to feel confortable in front of a class. The trainers were amazing I was learning from their method of teaching us, especially ms Iñigues and ms Magdaleno.

The guaranteed paid employment placement met my expectations and more, it was extremely helpul.

The course works and trains you to be a teacher, it's intense but worth it especially if you want to work in GDL.

It is very hard work but ITTO has secured me a job so it was worth it!!

I feel the course has supported me. I have been successful in gaining employment and the practices has been very valuable. Trainers were all great. The practical training met more than my expectations, this was really helpful!!!

After taking this course, I feel ready!!!

This course is intense but if you put 100 percent effort into it, it will be well worth your money

The practical training met more than my expectations. My own teaching, trainers assessments, and observation of other classes, all of these helped me feel prepared to teach in the future and all comments were helpful.

Loved the course teachers and I appreciated how they were available to sign things and send audios.

This course is intense but if you put 100 percent effort into it, it will be well worth your money.

I feel confident that if I were planning to start work right away I would have a job.

It's the little extras that make a big difference

It's the little extras that make a big difference - the course exceeded my expectations - the job guidance, the help with cv's, dinner, trip!

My practical teaching improved due to face to face classes - Observations are very important to teach. Assessment are critical to learn above to improve. All our trainers fullfilles all expectations.

After taking this course, with 10 plus teaching practices and lesson planning - who could not be prepared.

For those people who are considering attending the course: Just Do It!!!

Without pressure diamonds cannot be formed

The trainers were excellent.

It can be overwhelming but trust the process. It is worth the pressure, because without pressure diamonds cannot be formed.

A motivating factor in deciding to take the TEFL certification was obtaining an Internatioanlly recognized certification that will allow me to travel and teach globally.

After taking this course, I am confident in teaching English and feel I can learn along the way the necessary components to excel as a teacher.

My opinion of Guadalajara is that I love the weather and people here.

It is legitimate and has prepared me to accept a job offer at a school that I really like.

Although the course was intense, it is legitimate and helpful in developing teaching skills, especially for those with no experience, and has prepared me to accept a job offer at a school that I really like.

I love Guadalajara!
Legitimate, Credible, and would ensure assistance in finding a job (which is helpful when in a foreign country) I considered the online course for the price, but I´d rather do in-person.

The deciding factors in choosing ITTO: in-person in the target country, as well as the hours of observed teaching practice for experience.
