Excellent Course The 120 hour course was very well done. Everything about the course and the personnel felt very professional. Having taught ESL for one year before taking this course, I can attest that this course covers all the important aspects of teaching ESL/EFL, and will thoroughly equip you. I am far more equipped now, and more confident in going forward with pursuing future ESL/EFL job opportunities. The feedback from my tutor was always prompt and helpful. And the administrative staff was always quick to resolve any technical issues or questions I had with the course. I highly recommend this course to anyone considering teaching ESL/EFL.

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!!

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.

It is a great site It was a great site with a lot of unique features. It helps students learn the subject matter in a quick and timely manner. When it comes to the questions, I was hoping that some of the questions were more straightforward. It almost seemed like they wanted to see if you understood the question itself more so than the content. I learned the content, but some of the questions threw me off. Overall, the website is great for developing future teachers.

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.
