“I am not sure just why, but I found the course challenging more so than expected. Perhaps I needed to know that more so along the way that my answers were on the right track. Regardless, the Instructor was patient and helpful and encouraging...I made it through! Not yet have I been able to use this particular diploma for work directly but I did have an initial job interview yesterday as "nanny/tutor" for two special education children...this study was a bonus for my c.v. (resume).
Many thanks for this learning opportunity which I had long desired to find and afford. GH”
“My only comment is I wish i could verify and certify my tesol certification since the American embassy can not verify it therefore can't certify it, please advise how to fix it”
“The course was very good. The tutors were very helpful and quick to help if ever needed. The only thing i would say is if there was some practicle training.”
“You probably do not want this review. While the course was okay, after I completed the course many places said that they would not hire me becuase I had this certificate from your company and so I said to myself, well it seems that I have wasted my money.
I am sure that perhaps many others have had success with your certificate but when I put yor ceritcate on my resume the companies where I was applying told me that was why they would not hire me.
Sorry that I could not write more positive words of review.
Thank you for your time and for at least listening and reading my message.”
“After being in a TEFL for several years, I have found that my TEFL from your company has only helped me get a visa in a country. It helped my teaching in that it made me realize how incapable I was at teaching English and helping learners. Since then, I have gotten a Celta and a Trinity Diploma in Tesol. Your certificate is very questionable because it doesn't offer any teaching practice. I would recommend people to take either the Celta or Trinity Cert.”
“I was doing fine with this course until it came to writing out the reviews of the particular aspects of the lessons. I do not care for that nor do I feel that it should be a requirement. It seems to be a total slap on the back to the designers of the program rather than any kind of help to the students. That is why I did not complete the course and why I will not recommend this part of your teaching. I did enjoy my first course that I took with your training program but this one was not worth the time, trouble or money. Thanks for nothing.”
“Seems there website has been taken down, and the phone number is listed as 'perfumes' on truecaller. THIS PLACE WAS A SCAM. No recognition of the certificate anywhere.”
“A SCAM!!! I am not trying to apply for a job overseas, I tried checking their website since i got the certificate in 2019. Their email does not go through 🥴🙇🏾”
“Such a scam! The S.A. contact number is non-responsive, the emails are only being sent to Info, but no person replies. I paid the full amount, did the work, but no certificate!”
“The certificate DID NOT HELP ME at all. Nor will it help you gain employment. Heilie doesn't respond to emails nor was the course educational. Avoid this scam.”
“paid a large amount of money for a certificate I never used because I was unable to find a job teaching overseas and I felt like you did nothing to help, just gave me my certificate and didn't hear from you until 2 years later when you wanted me to write a review.”
“I am appalled and disgusted by the service. I paid for my full course with the agreement I could complete a free course initially. I unfortunately suffered a mental health related issue and although most of my pieces of work were completed I was unable to complete all sections in the specified timeframe and I was advised I could no longer continue.
I paid a lot of money for my course and as I didn't complete the free course I could not move onto the next part of the course (which was paid for).
I was unsatisfied but was unable to get a refund of the amount paid or continue to study. There was no option of extension.
I was severely disappointed and would never recommend a course by ITTT to anyone.”
“The course does not enable its pupil to gain employment in Australia or the U.S. Where it is essential to have a bachelor or masters degree.
When I took the online course this relevant information was Not published in its advertising.
That said, I feel I am entitled to a refund.

“Dear Freddie
Not sure what your Number 1 section Overall Review above refers to, so I put the lowest rating due to the fact that the product sold to me (the TEFL course) proved utterly useless.
One thing the TEFL course people did not tell me of course, was that ageism is rife here in Thailand. So, even if you are a fluent English speaker (an Englishman), who has a degree in Mathematics, who is a fantastic communicator, and who is great with kids, then you won't stand a chance in getting a teaching job ... because you are just too damn old.
Yours sincerely
Peter Davey.”
