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.

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.

I loved and enjoyed the course! I learned very much from all the modules. I felt very encourage to do my best. I am willing to upgrade my certificate as soon as I have the money. I want to teach from Skype since I have mobility limitations. Thank you for helping me become a professional in teaching English!

More Than I Expected! I studied the program at TEFLOnline because I wanted to teach English as a foreign or second language. Little did I know at the time that I would be invited to teach Business Studies in a bilingual school in Uruguay, in English. However, what I did not realize is that the level of English that the students have, has given me the opportunity to use almost everything I studied with TEFLOnline! I could not have picked a more accurate, helpful, useful, challenging and meaningful course of study. Having a tutor available all the time who responded quickly to my questions and frustrations, and gave me great suggestions which continue to help me today, was priceless. I owe a debt of gratitude to TEFLOnline. They gave me much more than I expected!
