Very useful course. Three years ago I enrolled in a "brick-and-mortar" TEFL course, which consisted of three distinct class, and cost 4-5 times as much as this course. I did not complete it as I had already secured a maths/EAP teaching position midway through the second course, and honestly needed the money more than I needed any additional knowledge at that point. Moving forward to this year, the 120 hour TEFL certificate is now required in order to work in China. So I chose to enrol in this course because I could do it at home at my own pace. I'm absolutely glad that I chose to do so. Any self-respecting autodidact knows that the classroom setting is not conducive to their learning. Conducting a self-directed study allows the autodidact to teach themselves without being hindered by the manifold musings of other classmates. More material can be digested in the same amount of time. Period. What's more, the material presented in this course is highly useful, succinct, and interesting, and the assignments are extremely useful and thought-provoking. Obviously, if you need the classroom experience, then you can do the 140 hour course. It's simply not possible to get a better value for your money anywhere else. Sign up today.

Trustworthy At first I didn't know what to expect since I had never done a certification or even taken a class online. After getting done with the first few modules I knew that this was going to work out. It wasn't until I had to do the final test that i knew I was going to have to work for this. It took me half my tries but when I passed I was happy that I could proudly say that I have a certificate on TEFL!!! I have already told people about this amazing site and I hope that they use it!!

TEFLOnline: Essay, Simple, and Straightfoward Taking the TEFLOnline tests was actually a fine experience. I was able to work at my own pace, read what I needed, and do whatever what was necessary according to my own schedule. The packet I bought allowed me 3 months to finish, but this was more than enough time. The readings were also informative and straight to the point, and the quizzes try to help the learner rather than trick them. Some of the essay questions were a bit redundant, though. However, a few of the essay questions prompted me to make my own lesson plan, and this really aided me in my training to becoming an ESL instructor (I have kept the lesson plans I made for this test--very helpful!). Generally, I had a positive experience with TEFLOnline, and have in fact recommended it to a few of my friends to check out. The readings are fast, simple, and clear, the quizzes do not attempt to trick you, and the essays help you think critically about the material. If anything, it was a fun-come-home-from-work-to-do-activity for me since I knew that passing the test would also benefit me far into the future. Recommended!!

Wonderful for getting ones feet wet for teaching English overseas. I really enjoyed this course. It gave me a clear idea of teaching English. I do not have any education in teaching and being a nanny this helped me add something extra to my resume. I love the personal tutor and the feed back! You do not feel alone and lost through out the course.

An In-Depth way to learn My experience with TEFLOnline.com has given me the opportunity to study the ESL teaching curriculum at my own pace and within the comfort of my own home. This well planned out course allows the student to focus on topics and spend time on various subjects that may be more difficult than others. Also, the program causes the student to look at the language learning experience from the ESL Students perspective and points out some of the difficulties that students of various languages may encounter when learning English. I believe that this course has given me a foundation by which I could easily teach an ESL class from a popular ESL Text Book and Workbook. I have learned much about creating fun and diverse exercises to enhance any such program and a well defined structure in which to present lessons to ESL Students. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has the ability to work on their own and is motivated to absorb the information from each module that will provide them with well rounded skills to be a great ESL Teacher!!!!!!
