“useless could not get a job from it, its just a money making scheme with sub par course material. Not happy and a waste of my time and money”

“When I purchased I was not told course had to be done in three months. I was traveling at the time and opened to see what it was like. When I returned and again opened found I only had a week left to finish but could pay a heap more money to extend the course guess they make all their money from people doing this.”

“I took a business English course online. i felt it didn't really equip me to teach actual Business English classes. The cert. was given on the basis of one very short written test. I thi k the course was ovwrpriced as I dodn't really learn anything drom it and it was extremely easy to pass. i would say the same of the previous 140hour course I did with i-to-i. It was overpriced and disn't help me much when I actually got a job teaching English.”

“Started out well but plans were ruined when half way through doing my course I was told I was no longer going to be accepted onto the internship do to new age requirements. Without teaching experience (which my package was said to include) the qualification did not stand up on its own as most shools want practical skills and experience rather than a qualification completed online.”

“Well, I completed all the tasks and assessments, and never saw a certificate. What was the point? Very frustrating.”

“Haven't finished the course yet. The extensions have stopped coming in the mail. I have asked the "lecturer" how to improve my submission, but the response is vague and not detailed at all. The "lecturers" seem to know nothing at all. If I could get a refund on all the money I spent I would love to.. but I doubt that would be possible. i-to-i is all about the money money money!”

“I was “quite unhappy” with aspects of your course! I do not know whether this course (or ‘a pathway’) could have been more flexible, but as I made my way through it, I was irritated by the overbearing attention to grammar! My “brief” at my current school is to concentrate on oral work and I was specifically told to NOT deal with ANY grammar! (Are you quite sure that your ‘fixation’ with grammar is congruent with what is required in China, for example?) My forté is Oral Work and particularly vocabulary! I found scant emphasis on Oral Work in your course!”

“I qualified in the 20 hour basic course plus grammar, one to one, business and children. It seemed that the information given had two problems 1. There amount of material was very small and particularly the grammar, was insufficient in explanations, detail, examples and exercises. 2. There was information on what to teach, but very little on how to teach. Playing games and role playing are not enough, particularly when teaching one to one. I am now teaching and find the course material pretty much irrelevant as I am making up my own methods. 3. The online webinars with Maure were very good There needs to be a chatroomor other information for graduates as I can't get access to information since I finished”

“I don't appreciate having to pay extra because the course lapses after 90 days. If it is an online course there shouldn't be a lapse time. Many of us who are studying work full time jobs and in some cases run businesses (such as myself). Which means actual study can only be done in the evening. This will prolong the time taken to complete the actual study. 90 days is not even a semester in University terms, and the extra monies required to extend the course are nothing more than theft. I am not supervised, my tests are not marked by an examiner, and I don't need a mentor. Therefore there is no extra cost to TEFL. Theft is the optimum word.”

“I found that the material was put together in a very confusing manner. I have lived in Turkey now for four years and when I come in contact with people who have taken English classes am just amazed at how poorly they converse. The majority have had teachers from one of the leading programs, and they don't have a clue about the language.”

“I'm GLAD that I SUCCESSFULLY completed the course. It was interesting and I think I learnt a lot all the while it really only matters that I find an actual JOB. Which brings me to the next point that despite the facility available, the course completed, I still cannot get a JOB using these certificates. Even contacting someone personally, they were quick to report I was not registered under the TEFL brand. Which is obscene. Clearly they either didn't care, a problem in the system exists or TEFL is not as recognised to the extent that it claims to BE. Unfortunately that has been the case and I need to keep seeking for something that could be of significant CONSTRUCT.”

“Hi Guys My experience with an on line course TEFL course is not something that I'd recommend especially if you are busy with full employment and have other responsibility. If you are well resourced, have a copious amount of time and can dedicate yourself to complete the course in the allocated time frame, then it may be something to consider? The initial cost of the course is quite reasonable and well with in scope, however if you have other commitments and find your falling behind with completing your units and wish to extend, it cost? The access to online resources is good and all internet based, i to i provide you with links to the relative information related to each unit you commence. There is also an option to book in to webonair seminars, though you must fit in with their scheduling . If you require assistance via a tutor it can be frustrating as you have to wait for someone on the other side of the world to contact you, which upon their response provided you with good advise. As in my instance I would have liked to acquire assistance promptly to eliminate lag time throughout the unit. In reflection, my preference would be to enroll in a 4 week class based course, where you can dedicate and focus on your objective, have accesses to teaching/tutor staff, allocated in class student/teacher time and importantly interaction with other participants.”

“As a South African candidate, I feel disillusioned and mislead by promises of employment with a tefl certificate. I was made to believe that I could get a post in Europe, hence I paid and proceeded with the course. I have completed a few modules and I have stopped because after reading the vacancy adverts, most European countries require you to hold a degree. Tefl is not honest and upfront with you when you make the initial enquiries. I am very saddened and disappointed by the course and honestly I feel like I was robbed for my hard earned money. Every time I spoke to a tefl adviser, I was promised to be sent real jobs in the EU that I could apply to, but those were empty promises. I would strongly advise fellow South Africans to be wary of applying for this course, especially if they have hopes of working in Europe. The irony is I had several telephonic chats with your team to make sure I would be eligible to teach in Europe and I was assured that it would not be a problem and yet I find that your qualification is useless without a degree. I am a mature adult that has taught in FET colleges in the UK and I had no interest in roughing it out in China or the East. I must say that I feel cheated and your establishment has made me lose faith in such courses. I think I should make other prospective candidates, in my country,without a degree, wanting to teach in the EU, wary of the false claims and promises and hopefully they would not suffer my fate.”

“I enjoyed completing the grammar module and 1-4 of the rest of the course, but had a change if tutor who I didn't understand and have unfortunately not completed any more. Sadly it turned out to be am expensive way if achieving nothing as my dates ran out time and time again so had to renew at great expense. Great shame .”

“Unfortunately this course did not help me, I use the internet to get free information to teach students, I feel the course was a disappointment and a waste of money. There was a lot of "theory" going on, and no actual direction or instruction how to teach. In hindsight I feel like it was an examination on my passing English. It was vague and unhelpful. I do not use your course at all, I find so much relevant and free information on the web.”

“I don't think the course was value for money. The teacher was only interested in 'high performing' participants. She discouraged participants from applying to schools in the same area even though my partner & I were travelling together. Her attitude was it wasn't a holiday! After completing the course, I contacted TEFL to send my cert. I got no resonse and I'm still waiting!”

“I have a BA in Psychology and IQ of 135 and had to give up halfway through as I couldn't get through one particular module. I bought the TEFL course book and studied all the online material and it was just too hard for me. My hats off to anyone who gets through it.”

“I was disappointed when I realized that sometimes you gave me computer generated feedback instead of a real person as you advertized. As a result, it took away some of my motivation to finish the course. Plus I felt it was too easy to blow through the lessons without really retaining the information. I'm not sure how you could improve that.”
