“I completed my TEFL course (120 hrs) way back in 2012. It is a very good course and has helped me to teach English in my wife's native country, Thailand. I have been teaching in Thailand for three (3) years already and thoroughly enjoy it. Definitely a must, if you want to teach English in another country.
Perhaps not the right forum but I am still waiting for feedback to my question on the 17th October 2018. Is or does the TEFL-120 course certificate allow or entitle the holder to a QTS (Qualified Teacher Status)?”
“After looking around on the internet for various tefl courses, I started the ittt online course mainly because of the price.
The good thing about the online course is that it is completely online and can be done according to your schedule. Just submit the assignments whenever you want. So this also gives you the freedom of finishing the class very quickly as well since they give you a few lessons at the same time.
The course could do a better job in getting the students ready for actual teaching. I'm not sure if I was able to use any of the techniques that were taught in the course during my teaching experience in Japan. Although the grammar lessons were useful to refresh or brains, but the class could have focused more on practical classroom management or different types of activities that we could do with the students(for different levels)”
“i accidentally sent a half-completed test instead of my full test. i asked for them to grade the second test, but they said that only the first one would be graded. this blind adherence to policy and unwillingness to be flexible resulted in me failing the exam, as only half my questions had answers. if this could somehow be fixed, even years later, it would be much appreciated.”
“I would have gone to Costa Rica to take the on-site course, but my father became very ill and I opted to take the on-line course. It was very difficult to deal with my tutor when my dad was in hospice during the time that I had to get the course done. She was rude to me after I told her several times to not fail me due to my stress. I managed to complete the course under duress with an average score. I haven't used my certificate yet due to my American work, but will use it soon.”
