Great Program

International TEFL Academy helped place me in a program back in 2018. The course took place in Hanoi, Vietnam. While there, I learned the necessary skills to receive my TESOL certification and was offered jobs in Vietnam and Thailand upon completion. The training program was fun and interesting. Our trainer was a wonderful human being from Australia who was very kind and personable. I made lifelong friends with several of my classmates. My path took me away from Asia, but without the TESOL certification I earned there, I wouldn't have landed a teaching position at an international school in Bucharest, Romania during the 2018-2019 school year. If traveling the world is something that appeals to you, receiving your TESOL or TEFL certification is an excellent idea as it practically guarantees you work opportunities all around the globe.

Pros
  • Professional experience
  • International working opportunities in exotic locations
  • Lifelong friendships with colleagues
Cons
  • The course book was fairly juvenile, but the certification board required it.
  • Class instruction time could have been cut in half in favor of more hands on training at international school partners.

Great Program

I graduated with my TEFL Certificate in September 2022 and found a teaching job here in NYC by December. I also liked the convenience of it being online and also the challenge of finding a place to perform my practicum because it allowed me to better understand how to communicate to schools and ESL venue to look for work and what to expect.
I look forward to building my Resume on the city before I head out to a new country to be a teacher. I wish I would have known of this great program when I was in High School and I would have started my journey to a great career earlier in life, but for my journey I was meant to start it now as an adult. Thanks for all your help International TEFL Academy.

Pros
  • Online teaching
  • Fast job opportunities
  • Lessons were reinforced and supported by videos, zooms, and interactive discussion groups on my time.
Cons
  • They send a PDF Diploma which you have to print out
  • The form to add your full name does not provide a box if you have a middle name

I think it's appropriate for the content

I took this course to get my certifiction a few years ago. It was really easy to access and getting the certification has opened many doors for me. If you are an English teacher, I strongly suggest you get certified, and ITA is a great place to do it.
I already knwe most of the information given because I had experience working at Belitz and I had been trained for this before; however, the content was very on point. It was clear and focused on classroom methodoly, which is important.
I also had communication wiht the tutor, who answer any questions we had.

Pros
  • Getting certified
  • Constant tutoring
  • Learning new strategies
Cons
  • It could be a little more dynamic
  • It could use some videos and graphs

TEFL Program

I really enjoyed this program! I like that there are various programs, ranging from 4 weeks-11 weeks and online to in-person in another country. I chose to do an 11 week online program. I enjoyed my instructor, learning about cultural differences and expectations within different countries, and some aspects about teaching English. The book used is a great guide that students can use when they begin their teaching career. I also love that there are advisors and resources that alumni can use, at any point in time, to start their teaching jobs, whether online or abroad after they finish their certification program. Highly recommend!

Pros
  • Lifetime assistance with jobs abroad and resources for alumni
  • Well known program
  • Can find work immediately online/ abroad

A program to be proud of!

Thorough, challenging, and enlightening.
Don’t go with cheap classes- you really DO get what you pay for. I learned how to teach TEFL with ITA’s help and support.
The practicum is set up perfectly to bring it all together. I also had no idea that the class work was as high level as it was. Instructor was very experienced and basically had a “major” in this kind of program. I also had some “bumps” in my personal life at the same time, and they were very helpful in helping me through the class. A great company!!

Pros
  • College level instruction
  • Office support
  • ITA really knows what they are doing
Cons
  • Hard- but very doable.
  • Long- 3 mo. , but necessary
  • Online- but what else is there to do!! Still worked!

ITA IS GREAT

I trusted ITA with getting my TEFL and I was NOT disappointed at all, ITA is very helpful and a legit trustworthy school to get TEFL certified, very easy to use and easy to contact with all of my questions. Easy payment plans and the course teachers are very helpful and accommodating. Even if you do not have a university degree there are still so many teach online and country options for you to chose from to teach English, lifetime support and help. I highly reccomend International TEFL Academy.

Comprehensive and Fun!

The course was fun and interesting with tons of very useful teaching skills. Instructors and support were excellent and provided great feedback. It gave me a good opportunity to crystallize the concepts I had developed as a teacher already. The course was good for my qualifications and allowed me to get a permanent position in Japan. My biggest criticism of the program is that the website was complicated to use, but my advisor helped me greatly when I had issues. Overall, it was a great program to complete.

Pros
  • Useful information
  • Fun course content
  • Good help from instructor
Cons
  • Website somewhat confusing to use
  • Buying materials was complicated, but support staff helped with the issue
  • I cannot think of another con

ITA - TEFL Certification

I made the right decision when I chose the International TEFL Academy (ITA) as the provider for my TEFL course, for a number of reasons:
- Great platform for online learning (user friendly, good layout)
- Engaging delivery of course topics
- Easy access to a wide range of invaluable resources
- Ongoing support (learning, information, job search, etc.)

Due to COVID-10 travel restrictions in place at the time, I completed the Online 170-Hour TEFL/TESOL Course. Based on my experience with the online course, I'm sure that the in-person course is amazing!

I would highly recommend ITA as a course provider for TEFL training and certification!

Pros
  • Access to invaluable resources
  • Ongoing support (including job search)
  • Relevant and recognised qualification

Yes, many people take TEFL courses who are not native English speakers, they need to be proficient in English to be accepted into TEFL classes and have excellent English to be able to work in schools. Here's an article:https://www.internationalteflacademy.com/non-native-english…

The answer is it depends entirely on which country you choose to teach in. I made a lot of money in China but it is not an easy place to live.
