About Program

The 220-hour Master Package with tutor support offers three courses in one, all conducted online with full tutor support. The Master Package comprises of three parts:

Part 1: 120-hour TEFL course with tutor & videos

Part 2: 50-hour course in business English (CTBE)

Part 3: 50-hour course in teaching English to young learners (CTEYL)

Part 1 (the 120-hour TEFL course) must be taken and completed first, though parts 2 and 3 can be taken in any order after that. Course participants are offered the option of either receiving three individual certificates as they progress through the Master Package course, or a single 220-hour certificate on completion of all course components. Please note that it’s not possible to receive both.

No, I don't recommend this program

I was hoping for better

There is definitely no need to pay extra for the videos and tutors. Everything is written for a ninth-grade reading comprehension and all the concepts are kept quite shallow. No critical thinking is required to pass with a 90% or higher in all the units.

The vast majority of the theories and pedagogy are only discussed in a sentence or two, so you don't get a very rounded perspective on teaching ESL. There is only one method that is used in any detail, so that you feel you have no choice but to use that method in your own teaching because it's the only one you really understand.

If you already have a strong command of English, just be aware that the grammar and the poorly-aged content can make the units a bit of struggle. The materials clearly have not been updated in a decade or two.

Some of the units will make you do your own research because they don't cover it, but still require you to know it. This includes having to read a downright offensive piece about judging a culture based on its masculinity level (femininity is not a part of this piece as they take the view that femininity is simply the far low scale of masculinity).

Pros
  • Extremely easy
  • I had a connection issue once and they were helpful, but not friendly.
  • Quick turnaround on grading
Cons
  • I don't feel like anyone could be truly prepared to teach ESL from this
  • So. Many. Grammar. Errors.
  • Outdated content

Response from ITTT TEFL

Hi Amelia. Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We’re not sure what caused your change of heart with regard to ITTT since you emailed us on 8th June 2022 after we gave you a deadline extension on your course free of charge: “Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it and this really just goes to show what amazing and remarkable company you are. I am so happy that I chose to get my ESL certification through ITTT and I recommend your company to all my friends who are seeking the same training.”

We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t find the videos useful or that you didn’t take advantage of the tutor support that was available to you throughout the course. The feedback that we usually get for both these areas is usually very positive, but we understand that the needs of all course participants will inevitably differ. We acknowledge the comments you submitted in your unit reflections and some changes will be made.

In your YL course unit reflections you mentioned that you were frustrated that you needed to do additional research as part of the course requirements. Every task sheet (which you were advised to complete before each unit test) stated that further research from other sources may be required.

Excellent course

I got retired and felt bored. So I decided to learn one more skill- to be an English teacher. English is my second language, and it was quite a hard task for me. I was looking for a good teaching platform, I searched few courses very carefully. At the same time I was searching for the fair price. From many options I chose ITTT, and I've never reggreted it.
This is awesome course. I've completed 220 hours course : 120 hours online TEFL, 50 hours specialized Teaching English to Young Learners course and 50 hours specialized Teaching Business English course.
The information in each course was very interesting, well presented, so it was even kind of fun to study.
There are also a lot of references to other resources presented in the courses.
The support from the stuff was also a great experience: as soon as I ask for the help, the answer was almost immediately provided.
I just want to cheer other non native English speakers up to take any of ITTT courses if they want to continue studying and working (at any age).
I am 72 years old , so far I'm not sure about my future work , but I feel very happy and excited that I found my strength and willpower to complete ITTT courses.
I highly recommend ITTT courses to those people who are looking for the best education as a teacher!

Pros
  • Professionalism
  • Great support
  • Fun

220 Hour Master TEFL

It had been over 2 years since completing ym ITTT 220 Hour Master TEFL online. I needed help getting my certificate notorized for visa applications overseas and they responded promptly, with very clear details amd examples of what I should do. ITTT provided me with the tools and support to succeed, not only during the time of completing my TEFL course online, but also helped tremendously afterwards, with any other questions I had. They're a fantastic and reliable company. As an ESL teacher with over 6 years of experience in the field, I can strongly recommend ITTT as the top teaching certification provider available.

Thorough and logically organized

Great course! The way the course is organized, I feel like I fully learned and interalized all the information presented. The course takes you from the first day of class to the last covering everything in between to include: student level and diagnostic testing, how to create a syllabus, and lesson plans, a review of grammar and tenses necessary for teaching ESL students, teaching methodolgies, teacher roles, what to expect from your students, how to evaluate your students and your class for improvements, as well as proffesional development. This course includes sample placement and diagnostic tests and many sample activities.

My Thoughts about the TESOL Program

This program was a completely great experience. It gave me useful knowledge which I’ve been implementing while teaching in my classes. Information, suggestions and recommendations given to us are totally advantageous. I’m so happy to apply for the program. When I had finished it, I found a job in a college and now I’m looking forward to researching a new job in any other countries when I get more experiences. I want to improve myself by taking a look at my notes that I took while studying this certificate program’s lessons. Thanks a lot!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
It was definitely wasabi. When I was in the US, one of my Japan friends invited me for the dinner and I ate it in 2017.

The best decision!

I started with just the online certifications then almost a year later upgraded to include classroom experience. While a generous 6 months is allotted for each course to be completed, if you have the motivation the courses can be completed much sooner. The lessons were informative and academically relevant. For someone who was not an educator coming into the courses the overall program was very helpful in explaining how to teach English as a foreign language. Once I completed the "in class" practicum, I had a new-found confidence in my education abilities. The support staff was very helpful and would answer questions promptly and comprehensively. They provided very helpful feedback and advice. I now work in a wonderful job as a English conversation teacher.

What would you improve about this program?
I understand that demand was down for TEFL and TESOL teaching and classes when I took the in class practicum. I was the only student in the class. With my lack of education experience, this was helpful because I was able to get more in depth and better one on one. I completed this program during the 4th of July week. I feel that, while the time frame was perfect for my busy schedule, the teacher had been inconvenienced. Maybe offer a few less class options so that the educators do not have to scramble for one student and maybe the class can fill up with more students.

Lambert

The program was great. I would have preferred to be in class to practice the lessons. I have not used my ESL skills yet, my only options have been for online teaching. I want to teach in a classroom setting. Perhaps I'll have the chance later. My first effort will be in the US to hone my skills before I try to get a job overseas. I hope other folks have benefitted from the program and were able to get jobs in the countries they preferred to live in. Due to the Pandemic I asume most folks are staying put
