**Disappointed with International TEFL Academy – Overpromised and Underdelivered**

I had high expectations for the International TEFL Academy (ITA) based on their marketing, but my experience with both their online TEFL course and job placement program was deeply disappointing. ITA consistently overpromised and underdelivered, to the point that I would consider it misrepresentation.

First, their job placement support was nearly useless. The country data they provided was already two years out of date, which made it difficult to plan realistically for job opportunities. Given how quickly visa regulations and hiring trends change, I expected current information—something they claim to provide but clearly do not.

The online TEFL course itself was equally disappointing. My instructor barely participated in the class, offering only a single, generic post each week. Her comments on student work were brief, generic, and lacked any real engagement or useful feedback. It was obvious she was just phoning it in, which made me question the value of the course as a whole.

For the price ITA charges, I expected a much higher level of quality, engagement, and support. Unfortunately, what I got was an impersonal experience and outdated resources. If you're serious about getting TEFL certified and finding a job, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Response from International TEFL Academy

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. At International TEFL Academy, we are committed to providing high-quality TEFL training and job search guidance, and we take concerns like yours seriously.

We want to address a few of the key points in your review:

Job Search Guidance & Country Data Accuracy
Our job search resources are reviewed and updated annually based on market changes, employer feedback, and direct input from alumni and partners. While we acknowledge that some job postings may require adjustments over time, our most recent audit updates are live on our Alumni Corner portal, with the full audit scheduled for completion by the end of April 2025. We appreciate your feedback and want to assure you that keeping our job search materials as current as possible is a top priority. Additionally, as part of Job Search Guidance, we provide these resources, connections, and networks as a starting point for teachers. While our resources are constantly expanding, they are not intended to be comprehensive regarding the endless TEFL opportunities that exist worldwide. Many of the schools in our School Finders are locations where alumni previously have had success and good working experiences.

Guaranteed Job Placement Program
When you enrolled in the Guaranteed Job Placement Program, we facilitated your move overseas details and arranged multiple job interviews for you, exceeding the three interviews guaranteed by the program. Ultimately, you successfully secured a job offer through our guaranteed placement process, fulfilling our program's commitment to you.

Teaching English Online Specialty Course
Our 11-week online TEFL and 2-week Specialty courses are asynchronous, allowing students to complete coursework at their own pace with weekly deadlines while receiving personalized feedback on assignments from experienced instructors. Additionally, instructors of our 11-week course host weekly office hours to provide hands-on support for students who need additional guidance. Our Student Affairs team is available Monday through Friday during business hours, and we know you utilized our team multiple times throughout your courses to ensure your success.

At ITA, our goal is to support all our current students and alumni in their TEFL journeys, and we remain committed to providing the best possible resources, products, and guidance.

Wishing you success in your teaching career.

Best,
The ITA Team

ITA- School of INTEGRITY and High Standards of Serving

I took my TEFL course several years ago, but right after the course, my life shifted so I never went into teaching then. Now I’m ready to start, but wondered if I should retake the whole course again? I then called "Ambrosia" of Admissions and shared my thoughts with her. She was great! She was both patient and knowledgeable and keenly in tune to what I TRULY NEEDED- versus what I thought I needed! Instead of signing me up to retake the entire course, she guided me to the “Teaching English Online” specialty course. She told me I could just start here and see...that this could very well be all I need. As I also want to teach online, it would support me in that, but it would also boost my confidence and serve partially a refresher course. This saved me $1400! To me this speaks highly of the integrity, of ITA. They aren’t just there to “rake in your money.” They truly care about YOU, as their student and really are there to serve YOU and guide YOU in the best direction for YOUR career path.

Pros
  • Integrity! ITA truly is there to serve YOU and guide YOU in the best direction for YOUR career path. They're not just there to "take your money"!
  • Even though it has been awhile since I took the course, I remember well how comprehensive it was and how well prepared I felt after I was done.
  • ITA is very organized and well-run and the certificates from ITA are highly valued and widely recognized.
Cons
  • The 4 week, in-person courses truly are "intensive". But you can do it! I was 53yo and I did it!
  • The price is pretty high- but well worth the money as you will have a truly valuable certificate and lifetime job assistance.
