“I recently finished a 200 hour TEFL course (20 hours classroom component, which I believe aren't currently running through the pandemic, 180 hours online study) through i-to-i. They are a legitimate, reputable company and came well-recommended. I found the course contents extremely interesting and well thought out, especially the classroom component, which is a must if you want to pursue a TEFL career. Having no prior experience with teaching, I came out with a lot of information and the motivation to learn more. I will echo some of the suggestions that the material presented throughout the online components were a little unprofessional. The assignments you were expected to do were honestly very monotonous and was probably the weakest element of the course. I was failed on one occasion for not fulfilling a single target that had been worded so vaguely I had absolutely no idea what I was expected to do. Fortunately, I was assisted by one of i-to-i's extremely helpful on-call teachers, who were incredibly professional and are honestly a credit to the program. I was able to finish the course within the time limit without paying any extra fees. I have no regrets in choosing to study with i-to-i, though I would urge you to do some independent research before making your decision, particularly if you do not have a bachelors degree (as there was a lot of outdated information thrown around—it's becoming more difficult to teach ESL abroad if you don't have a bachelors degree, and I believe this was played down to some extent throughout the course). However, their courses are well priced, their staff are incredibly professional and courteous, and overall it was a very positive experience.”

“I've just passed my 240 Hour Level 5 Course and I would like to thank i-to-i for the support and the help I received from the tutors as well as from the customer service team. I've been teaching online for almost 8 months and the content of the course has proved to be really practical and engaging for my students. I'm really happy with it!”

“During the COVID-19 outbreak, I was relegated to working from home. I needed something to keep me occupied during my downtime. I chose the 180 hour level 5 course because I got a significant discount through my employer. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics, and I’ve been teaching English as a new language for over five years. The course is the real deal, at least in the sense that the theories it covers are exactly the same as what you’d find in any introductory college course. Some big names like Stephen D. Krashen appear. However, an online course can really only cover these theories in a very cursory fashion. It’s up to you to dig a bit more subcutaneously to get the most out of the course. A lot of the information you find throughout the course is available on the internet for free. For example, almost all of Krashen’s work can be downloaded for free from his personal website. The course also references a lot of YouTube videos which I thought was rather unprofessional. With that being said, I did actually learn a few things. I’m bilingual, so I often explain grammatical concepts to my students in their native language. However, it’s always good to explore how to teach without this luxury. I learned a lot about concept checking questions, and the PPP structure. I felt that the summative assessments were more tedious than they needed to be. Most teachers I know would never fill out a lesson plan to that level of detail. I’d also really like to see customizable modules in the future. I don’t teach kids very often, so it would’ve been more beneficial for me to have read a chapter about business English instead. Arguments can be made either way as to which is more of prominent in the industry. I’d also like to see the integration of some video lessons to break up the tedium of reading. I didn’t feel that the feedback I received from my assessments was very insightful either. I like to be really thorough. It took me about forty hours to complete the course. Ten hours per assignment, which there were three in total, and about ten hours of reading. If you have never taught before, if your degree is completely unrelated to education, and if the job you are applying for says that you absolutely need a nondescript TEFL certificate, then I would recommend the course if it’s been heavily discounted. The certificate won’t satisfy the requirements for certain entities that require an observation component (public schools in Korea and some first tier cities in China), but it’s more than enough for any entry-level position anywhere else. I highly recommend obtaining a TEFL certificate with an observation component while still residing in your home country if you want to make this a career with no barriers to entry.”

Thank you for your review and comments about the course. We are always improving our courses and the only way we can do this is by receiving feedback from our customers. Within a teaching training course you need to know how to plan and prepare lessons, each of our assessments have to meet with a set criteria to enable the course to be given the level 5 status. We're glad to hear you learnt some new methods of teaching. Good luck with your TEFL career Best wishes Jill Customer Support Team

Hi Christine, Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the course. There are lots of companies that do require you to have a Bachelor's degree, however not all! I have emailed you over some resources to help you find online TEFL work without a Bachelor's degree. Please get in touch if you need any further assistance :) Best Wishes Amy Customer Support Team

“The three sections looked very daunting on their own, but once I have finished them all, everything fell into place for me. The modules are clear and easy to understand. I had some difficulty with the layout typo, where it was sometimes confusing figuring out headings and sub-headings, etc. Otherwise I enjoyed doing the course.”
