This isn't one of those courses with a load of waiting around for lecturers to grade your essays, it's just read and watch some stuff, clock some stuff, and move on. I like that, though I'm guessing there may be some folk who take issue with it. There must be about 50 hours of video or more in there but there's also hundreds of pages of written stuff to read if that's your thing. I did the kids and skimmed the text whenever I could be bothered. Galf the video was AI voicing, so if that's not your bag you'll be reading text alot. The review stuff is good and the tutor who I messaged a couple of times knew his stuff. For 50 bucks, this is properly good.

It was smooth from the start as everything is automated from the moment you pay. There was a moment of apprehension when I clicked pay, as there often is when you buy online from somewhere that isn't Amazon or wherever, but as soon as I was redirected to the course page my anxiety faded. The course is made up of more than 20 lessons, each containing an hour or 2 of video and some deep textbook-style reading. There are different review questionson the lessons, and every lesson also has a graded quiz, which I think is a great way of testing (I despise essay writing!). I had to message the tutor twice about a quiz question, but both times they got back to me super fast, so really I have nothing to complain about! I also paid less than the price they advertise here!

Not as fast as the price makes it seem like it's going to be to finish, but there aren't any written assessments or anything arduous like that, so it was all quite relaxing. I did all the activities and found it all fairly to very useful, especially the ones on classroom feedback and behavior management. I literally chose this because it's cheap and I'm not sure if I'll like online teaching, but I think I will. The unit on online teaching was informative but reading about the different destinations made me wonder if teaching in person might be better for me. Regardless, the course had everything it said and I'm glad I did it.

I'll go through the pros and cons, which I find usually helps me when I read reviews. Plus first: there's alot of useful content with a genuine voice in the text. Videos are fine, but I'll get to them more in a moment. The model teaching videos are superb, as are the review activities which make you apply what you've read as well as past content. For what you get and the quick (usually) email responses, the price is incredible, especially since it has what appears to be genuine accreditation (I searched). Now for the niggly negatives: some of the videos have AI voices, which aren't bad to be honest, but sometimes there were odd sounds. There's a lack of job links right now, though staff provided a number of useful links when I messaged. I'd also like to have the option of handing in written assignments, perhaps ironically as many companies I found seem to boast about not having these! In balance, this is an easy course to recommend to others, but I do hope they don't become idle and settle because there are ways to make this even better.

I was a bit hesitant to sign up for something like this, but my mate told me online was the way to go rather than in-person because it's a bit more relaxed and way cheaper. I actually learned a ton from it. I'm a bit surprised that there's so much to teaching English as I figured it'd just be a case of chatting away and cracking a few jokes with kids in between some songs and grammar writing. I'm happy I went this way anyway as it was clear and I had no reason to contact anyone. I got my cert - job's a goodun!

I would like to share that I received a good education from this online course. It was clear, full of insightful teaching-tips and went far passed where I thought an online course for this price would go. For example, some units have more than 60 pages of text and many hours of videos - there are many many units to work through. I found the videos good for listening to while I did tasks and I just quickly skimmed the text. The course goes deep into motivation and games, as well as how to correct errors, and it also has many sections where you have to think about how to act in different contexts and how to solve issues. I really liked that part because that's the way my mind goes. I did find a couple of quiz errors, but staff were very quick with making fixes and replyed to me fast. They said that they change quizes and that can make errors from input, so that helped me understand and forgive. I feel blessed to have finished the course and can recommend to others.
