I'm not done yet... I did the 20 hour weekend course last year. Although I enjoyed the lessons, somehow I felt short changed on the following aspects: This was a very expensive course for 20 hours....which cost $500. 1) We did not receive the full 20 hours....We finished about 4pm. Although the teacher was efficient and capable of teaching us, we did not use the book that was provided. It would have been easier to follow her lessons if we had....therefore we were not sure if we had gone through the whole syllabus. 2)Morning coffee: The coffee table was set but the urn was not turned on. So our teacher suggested that we bought our own coffee at 10am. The coffee was later turned on at 11am by which time we already had our own. So the coffee was not consumed. However, after our lunch break, we wanted to help ourselves to coffee but the urn had been turned off. The hotel staff told us that they were under strict orders from your good company that the coffee should be served only in the morning. I hope you are aware that we were most disappointed by the lack of refreshments as promised in the program 3) I have yet to receive my certificate....It has been nearly 1 year and I am still waiting..... My friends were also dissatisfied with your program. Violet Njo

The content is good. However, there is a lot to get through and when you originally join you are not told there is an expiry date and you'll need to buy extensions. I found this a bit disappointing because I am really time short. This course is something I started in my holidays and when I started work it became harder and harder for me to study. I hope I can finish this course and it doesn't cost me more than I anticipated.

Positive points: * some suprising innovative educational ideas *easy to navigate Negative points: * Extra material is really old material, some links do not even work anymore * The quizzes are horrible...you have to remember some words EXACTLY by heart to finish the quiz. Quizzes do not test on teaching qualifications but on your memory skills...

It was an alright class. It's difficult to find a job as in reality you need more then a TEFL certification. Most countries require a Bachelor's degree or higher which of course they do not tell you before you sign up for this expensive course.

I feel to begin with, the service was good. However after I had paid for my internship, there was no contact or any communication to see how I was getting on. I even sent an email to my designated advisor but did not receive a reply back. I had to ring up and ask about my query. I feel there was not enough explanation either about what to do and who was dealing with what in regards to I-to-I and ttt.

I'm not sure what the actual worth of this program is, since I've not seen any benefit from it as of yet. It's possible that a bachelor's degree isn't enough to warrant taking this program. From my applications and interviews, the impression given is that demand for teachers is mainly limited to those who have experience teaching.

I was hoping to make use of the certificate so as to teach English in another country. However, not accepted by those I applied. I am still charging along my usual work.

Course was ok but not really what I was after. I just wanted to teach English to migrants who understands and speak but not able to put their sentences together. So basically a conversation class and the lady on the phone told me that's all I needed and would be ok to use in Australia as long as I do some volunteer classes for practice. I booked and when noticed I would have to do more courses to have full training, I tried to cancel and was unable to cancel so I really wasted my time and money.

due to a change in work , re-location of residence and other pressures I DID NOT complete this course. I very quickly progressed thru the early stages of the course, however due to other issues ( mentioned above), I progressed no further. PERHAPS THE MOST NOTICEABLE THING IS THAT I HAVE HAD NO CONTACT FROM THE COURSE PROVIDER AT ALL. No one has enquired as to why I stopped doing the course. No one has offered any assistance or advice. It is like after I paid my money , I do not actually exist. As for the actual content of the course................... the early stages I found very easy, as I have previously been a hospitality industry trainer and assessor , so I had previous knowledge of teaching/training methods and concepts. having experience in adult learning ( as I trained young to middle age adults) I felt they was a need for more emphasis on the process and less on the technicalities like all the tenses ( past perfect, present perfect etc etc) as the learner just wants to learn conversational english. If they use the wrong tense, they can be corrected at the time with a brief explanation and example of the correct words....they dont want or need to know about past , present etc and young learners just simply wouldnt understand at all. Being asked to write this review is the first contact of any kind that I have had concerning this course in over 6 months. I do not even remember NOW , what stage of the training I have completed and what still needs to be done. It seems to me that this company is more concerned in simply getting the tuition fees and trying to sell franchises, than actually assisting people to complete the course.

I had technical problems and couldn't see the pdf files. Customer service was unable to assist me in a timely matter and I was forced to extend my subscription. In the end, I simply needed to change the browser I was using to access the site. I hope that in the future they are able to provide better technical support for their customers.

I am yet to complete my TEFL course. This is down to a few different factors, the main one being that it is not clear how many assessments or modules you have left to complete. I was told I was on the last module and on finishing this I would then be TEFL qualified. However, once completing this module I was then given more modules to complete that were not possible for me to do in the time limit I had left. The outcome of this has left me going to university without taking a gap year teaching abroad. I'm hoping to finish my TEFL course in the summer and organise to teach once I've finished my degree.

Teacher did not always response to my emails on time and no classroom experience. I still did not know what teaching was and did a real in classroom course afterwards.I recommend to find a TEFL course with observed teachings. What matters mostly is the way you teach and not only the theory.

It's been nearly a year and a half since I purchase anything. Have my details been used again more recently??

I gave up half way through because of the intensive grammar requirements. Other people I know who have done other TEFL courses didn't have such pressure. Had I known, I would never have spent my money...my husband's cousin has been a successful TEFL teacher for many years and has never needed to teach grammar beyond the basics. If you like grammar, then this is the course for you. Too academic for me. Shame. Disappointed.

My overall experience was pleasant however on a couple of occasions when requiring feedback on my module tests, the instructor was curt and not particularly helpful. This caused some frustration for me.

I think it did a very thorough job in making sure that we learnt every material perspicaciously by giving many quizzes and some checkpoints. Although, I think the materials used for the checkpoints could have been improved by making it more terse and cogent. The grading of the checkpoints also differ depending on the tutor grading your work. I was fortunate to have had a tutor who was lenient and though the other one was a little limiting and strict, I still managed to pass the checkpoints because I made the extra effort to research for materials outside what this course provides. Overall, I would rate it satisfactory.
