The course was a major win for me because I was looking for something that would teach me how to get started as a teacher but not cost me too much in case I decide not to pursue it any longer than a year or so. From what I've learned, it's definitely something I might consider doing for a long time. The learning experience was interesting and there were a number of different questions and materials to help me understand everything easily. By the end, I felt really confident with myself and being able to plan a good lesson. Of course, I still need experience in the real world, which I'm told is very different, but I definitely feel ready and motivated to go get that!

I spent an hour looking through different companies and courses on the internet. I even used Perplexity to help me narrow it down based on what I needed. There are literally a hundred places to choose from. I don't regret my purchase, but I did get annoyed with a few things: no problem with the Ai voice videos as it's a nice bonus to have video which most don't seem to, but they should make the videos shorter and scatter them around with split up text; there are too many questions in my opinion - it'd be much quicker to finish if there were less assessments; and we shouldn't have to pay extra for verification in 2026.

Aside from these issues, I did learn a lot of interesting things about teaching English and feel pretty much ready to teach it, though I'm unsure of whether that will be online or overseas. If you can handle a bit of over-teaching, this is a very good course to use.

The only hard part was paying - it took me 3 attempts before my card payment was accepted because of my stupid bank. It's never easy.
Access to the course was like they say and instant. You can skip the first 'pre-course' units quickly and go back later if you wanted, but I won't. The actual units are excellent and teach me past just knowing grammar structures and where to sit students in general, but included like how to deal with issues, fun activity for different things being tought and when to make the corrections. this kind of thing is what I wanted. There's a lot of questions to check understanding and some activities also. hard to not like the course, and the certificate also is very nice printed.

I'm really glad I took this course. It was cheap so I wasn't expecting a great deal of quality content, but it surprised me. There's a real voice behind the text and although some of the videos have avatars instead of real people it was still very useful. I liked the ease of learning and can recommend the teaching style of watching videos, reading th text quickly and then doing all the quiz stuff, as I found that way I really understood it all. I think the order of the units is nice and logical though I wonder if they should have taught lesson planning earlier? Regardless, it's a very, very good course for the money especially.

I'm happy to write a review for INTREPID TEFL. I didn't have any issues with the course and was able to complete it without needing any support - I think most companies with tutor support likely don't really need to give it anyway as all the ones I messaged about were automated, so it seems a bit of a gimmick that they all offer 'tutor support'. I went with this company for price and because the website looked clean without any BS upgrades or cross selling or whatever. I don't regret it. I learned enough to make me feel like I know what I'm going to be doing in a classroom when I find a job. So, there it is, they were good and I thought worth a bit more than what I paid for it.

The course didn't cost a lot of money but it ran well and had enough to keep me motivated. Some of the videos have small audio malfunctions but having the videos was a luxury. I made an effort to finish every one of their cognitive scenario quiz- like activities because I found that these helped me put the theory into action, which was a nice touch. Now, for the issues...not much info on the site about getting jobs afterwards or pre enrolment info. They need to pad out their website a bit more to include a bit more. With that said, their value is very good considering the course material (or at least I though so).

Staff were amazing offering help with an error I had when I signed up putting in the wrong email. They were patient and quickly got me hooked up with the course. I needed to ask them a few questions to understand a couple of the tasks and they always replied politely even though admittedly one of the tasks made sense when I looked at it with fresh eyes. The other lesson task was fine once they explained it. Bottom line is that they were there to support me. Lessons weren't easy or hard but there's alot of them so it took 5 weeks doing a lesson a day and I remember lots of it so it's all good.

I have to say that this was a high quality course that did exceed my expectations. However, they really need a job seekers section for when you finish the training course. To be fair to my tutor, he did provide me with a few different links for recruiters but I'd actually pay more for job support. The course includes a lesson covering what to expect from ESL abroad but nothing for getting jobs unless you're goal is online teaching. But whatever, everything else was as I hoped including getting a qr code on my certificate for getting it verfied anytime. For those looking for a course to prepare them for teaching abroad, this one has left me feeling positive about being in the classroom despite not actually including anything practical.
