Not what was expected The materials, including videos and written modules, were old. Many of the reference materials and links to resources either did not work or were obsolete - companies were no longer in business or the website was different. I'd recommend this is you are in a hurry to get a cert to teach but if you are really looking for something to augment your career as a teacher, look somewhere else.

Great experience This was a great experience, both the online course and the onsite course through Maximo Nivel. The onsite course gave me the TEFL content and great support from the adviser. The onsite course gave me the practical experience I was looking for. Highly recommend this program

I'm excited to continue my education through TEFL It was quick, easy, and very encouraging. I am excited to continue past my certificate and accomplish a life goal.

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!!

Everything was great! Thank you for everything! I enjoyed all the process and can definitely recommend that course to every who wants to be a teacher!
