I appreciated the contact with the Premier TEFL team, their help and advice, and the free course they gave me to apologize for the problems with the platform resulting in downtime over several days. However, I completed each of the 30-hour courses I purchased plus the free one in just 3 hours each. The online content subject of the end of course validation quiz requires no more than 3 hours of study, so I'm wondering why these courses are billed as 30-hour courses! Maybe with all the additional recommended reading, but that is not the subject of the validation quiz and therefore should not count in the course length. It really is very misleading and borders on dishonest (at least by French distance-learning standards!). I'm therefore very glad I got the courses at such a low price (80% off) in the January sales. At the price I paid, they were worth it - although I have to say that there was only about 5% original content in the TOEIC course, the rest being copied and pasted from the official TOEIC documentation which is available free online... Had I paid full price I would have considered these courses a complete rip-off. I will not be recommending Premier TEFL and its courses to my colleagues.
