ITTT review, submitted by Graham.

Hiya, Trusted TEFL Reviews. I decided to keep my review short and direct.

Things I liked about the ITTT TEFL Online course:

1. I liked the flexibility of studying online. I didn’t need to travel anywhere to take the course.
2. The course sign-up process was straightforward.

Things I didn’t like about the ITTT TEFL Online course:

1. ITTT market their TEFL courses with job placement, but when you complete the course there is no help with looking for work.
2. I received my ITTT TEFL certificate from Thailand. I thought they were a US-based company.
3. The course was overall too easy, could have done with more video tutorials, and I noticed a few grammar mistakes in the modules.

Overall, I probably wouldn’t recommend ITTT TEFL if asked to do so. The course is quite expensive and the price doesn’t equate to the quality level of the product. Sorry that I can’t write a more positive review.

ITTT review, submitted by Casey.

This is my honest ITTT TEFL review.

1. The course is OK. It is a text-based course, which means that you read a lot of materials and then complete multiple-choice quizzes. I know that some people have an issue with text-heavy courses. I didn’t mind so much. Videos can be a valuable addition when they are done right, but when they are of poor quality or just included for the sake of being included then I think they can be an unnecessary distraction. Besides, there is YouTube if you need to cross-reference any materials.
2. I paid the extra $$$ for a personal tutor, who touched base with me at the beginning of the course. I never heard back from her, despite requesting help along the way. I wouldn’t recommend paying for the tutor support. It is a complete waste of money.
3. When I had completed the course and tied up all the ends, I was a bit shocked that I also had to fork out $$$ for the certificate. It took a while for the delivery. This is because it was sent from Thailand and the international post can be slow sometimes. I did receive a tracking number though and it was fun tracking its movement from east to west.
4. After I’d paid for the certificate and then received it, I never heard back from ITTT TEFL again. They just ghosted me. I could have done with getting some post-course job placement help.
5. The good news is that I have a job now. I’m teaching English online and so far so good. I wasn’t completely dissatisfied with the whole ITTT TEFL training experience, but some of it did suck and I expected more from ITTT TEFL.

Online TEFL TESOL course review scams in 2026.

(Updated: December 21, 2025)

This is a must-read article if you are choosing which TEFL course to take and are confused by which ones are legitimate and which ones are scams.

The scams are becoming more and more sophisticated.

To prevent your TEFL dream turning into a TEFL nightmare, we strongly recommend that you read this article in full.

Online TEFL TESOL Scam TEFL programs.

Currently, the more notable scam TEFL companies are ESLinsider, ITTT International TEFL and TESOL Training, MyTEFL, The TEFL Academy, and World TESOL Academy.

1. ESLinsider

ESLinsider (Ian Patrick Leahy) portrays himself as a TEFL whistleblower and he trashes almost every TEFL program online for seemingly altruistic motives, but his endgame is to sell you one TEFL course – his TEFL course. Among a long list of criminal activity, he was recommending TEFL students without college degrees to buy fake ones online. Some people followed his advice and (in China) were arrested, fined, deported. Ian is currently wanted by the Chinese authorities and is essentially on the lamb, living a transient life in the United States. Ian was banned from Facebook for spreading misinformation and disinformation way back in 2017. https://www.eslinsider.com/

2. ITTT International TEFL and TESOL Training

ITTT International TEFL and TESOL Training operates under more than 20 different websites. Each one looks similar, but is different just enough so that you would be forgiven into believing that one website is a different company from another website. This company has a bogus accreditation from a website that spells it as “Accredidation”. Affiliate marketing is their lean and they have one favorite who will say and write anything to get you to make the purchase: Linda Dunsmore. ITTT will take your money, give you access to a subpar course, fail to respond to online tutor requests, and ghost you when it comes time for the advertised “free” job-finding help – unless you pay through the nose for their job placement services, which you are recommended to avoid like the plague.

3. MyTEFL

MyTEFL used to be accredited by OTTSA (a website they created) and are now accredited by a bogus company: International TEFL Accreditation Council (ITEFLAC). Folks, official accreditation company website’s don’t have stock images of business people in office boardrooms. MyTEFL offer affordable TEFL courses, but they make their real money from paid job placement services. Do not pay for this service. If you do, when you receive your weekly or monthly teaching pay, without realizing it at first, MyTEFL will be skimming up to 25% off. And what can you do about it when you have locked yourself into a job contract with a language school through MyTEFL? https://mytefl.com/

4. The TEFL Academy (TTA)

The TEFL Academy (TTA) is a truly corrupt corporate company. They claim to be the “Worlds #1 TEFL Course Provider!” They are not. And, despite their many claims, they are not accredited. The TEFL Academy claims to be accredited by AQC, DEAC, QUALIFI, and even by Ofqual. It is only regulated by Ofqual and QUALIFI, and it also appears that QUALIFI might have been created by the good folks at The TEFL Academy. AQC is a sister website of DEAC, and you can see that The TEFL Academy is not accredited by DEAC because DEAC has a search feature that shows all the companies that it accredits – The TEFL Academy is not listed. As with ITTT, The TEFL Academy pays affiliate marketers to promote its courses. More about this below. https://www.theteflacademy.com/

5. World TESOL Academy

World TESOL Academy is likewise shady as hell. They offer TEFL courses for $38 and this appears to lure in a lot of unsuspecting folk. After you pay, you get bombarded with requests to become one of their affiliate marketers. Students rate the course as “terrible” and a bit like flying with Ryanair, with a smorgasbord of hidden fees and additional costs. World TESOL Academy is accredited by Accreditat and CPD that are pay-for-accreditation companies that are not recognized by any reputable language schools. Another red flag is that they have the Reviews tab disabled on their Facebook page. https://www.worldtesolacademy.com/

How TEFL companies scam you.

Besides the above mentioned scams, there are some complex ways in which some TEFL companies will scam you.

And the sophistication of the scams is intensifying.

TEFL Review Website Bedfellows

Go Abroad, Go Overseas and TEFL Course Review are the three biggest TEFL review websites. They each make their money from charging TEFL companies for a listing on their site – the TEFL companies are their customers – and it is in their best financial interests to have positive reviews about (fill in the blank) TEFL company than to have bad reviews published. This is why a company like The TEFL Academy has a high review score on all three websites – they make certain that negative reviews of them are minimized and they are free to have fake positive reviews appear on all three sites, and on the other review sites where they have a listing. Incidentally, The TEFL Academy has a lot of money at their disposal and frequently sue individuals and companies if they dare to publish something negative about them. Trusted TEFL Reviews published a few negative student reviews of The TEFL Academy and we were warned that if they were not taken down, they would sue us. We simply responded that the reviews will remain published because they were written by students of their program.

Affiliate Marketing

If you see an individual excessively promoting a TEFL program – with or without a coupon code for a discount – it will certainly be an affiliate marketer. Caitriona McTiernan and Megan Broccoli are the two main ones for The TEFL Academy and Linda Dunsmore heads the ITTT affiliate marketing side of the business. A large majority of TEFL programs belong to affiliate marketing companies, paying people who have never taken their courses to promote them online and earn money for themselves in the process. They will say and write absolutely anything (“the course was AMAZING!”) to make the sell, such as promises of earning $100 per hour for teaching English online. No one earns anywhere near to $100 teaching English online.

Trashing A Business Competitor

In the Wild West of online TEFL, anything goes. It’s very common for TEFL companies to trash each other online. They create fake profiles and then write fake complaints and fake reviews – misinformation and disinformation – on complaints websites and Reddit. And TEFL programs with deep pockets, such as The TEFL Academy, have now started to pay people to take a competitor’s course and then slam it online. This is cruel and clever because the person can show that they have a certificate from the TEFL company and can write exactly what the company tells them to write. A recent case involved one of the affiliate marketers from The TEFL Academy – Megan Broccoli – who purchased a TEFL Online Pro course, completed it, claimed after an hour of course completion that she couldn’t use the certificate, and began spreading her message on Reddit and elsewhere that the company is a scam. Something similar also happened to OISE University of Toronto TEFL and CIEE TEFL. CIEE TEFL, OISE University of Toronto TEFL and TEFL Online Pro are among the 5 Best Online TEFL/TESOL certification courses.

Reddit

When Online TEFL/TESOL courses were gaining traction about 15 years ago, in response to the established in-person TEFL/TESOL course industry, a few of them set up Reddit communities – communities that they used and continue to use to push their agenda. This tends to focus on trashing their competitors and clandestinely promoting their courses. We recommend avoiding Reddit for Online TEFL/TESOL course information because of this, and because of the vast number of TEFL shills active on the site.

Niche subreddits, such as online course communities, are often run by people with a vested interest in promoting certain courses—for which they receive a financial kickback. This often leads them to delete positive comments about any business competitors of the courses from which they receive kickbacks.

The r/TEFL subreddit is well known for this type of behavior—they allow positive comments for their favored TEFL companies but prevent students of some other TEFL programs from posting honest reviews of their course experiences. They even have a Reddit Wiki page that clearly demonstrates the quid pro quo partnership they maintain with certain programs.

Trashing Trusted TEFL Reviews

It must be so frustrating for the many TEFL programs that don’t have the kind of power over Trusted TEFL Reviews that they lord over other TEFL review websites. So what do they do? They spread misinformation and disinformation about me and Trusted TEFL Reviews because they just can’t handle having even one or two negative reviews published online about them. By trying to discredit this website, they hope that people won’t believe the reviews of their program. All TEFL programs listed on Trusted TEFL Reviews have a free listing and all TEFL programs are free to respond to reviews and to add comments.

The TEFL Wall of Shame.

Important Clarifying Information.

Several points need addressing, and I will write about each one separately:

The Teachers’ Choice Award

Several Online TEFL companies are claiming that the Teachers’ Choice Award is fake. It isn’t. We created the Teachers’ Choice Award back in 2019, after noticing that other mainstream TEFL review websites had also created their awards. The fundamental difference between our award and the awards of other mainstream TEFL review websites is that the winner of the Teachers’ Choice Award is based on merit alone – voted for by language schools, universities, TEFL students, and TEFL graduates. If a company has won an award from a mainstream TEFL review website, it means they have likely paid for the privilege of “winning” that award.

TEFL Online Pro

TEFL Online Pro (https://teflonlinepro.com/) has won the Teachers’ Choice Award for seven consecutive years – they are the highest-rated in 2026. They have won the award every year because they were the Online TEFL/TESOL program that received the most votes. Trusted TEFL Reviews does not own TEFL Online Pro, just as it doesn’t own the other four Online TEFL/TESOL programs that currently hold the place of being one of the 5 Best Online TEFL/TESOL programs. Trusted TEFL Reviews is an independent Online TEFL/TESOL reviews website. We are not affiliated with any TEFL/TESOL program listed on the Trusted TEFL Reviews website.

Trusted TEFL Reviews is a not-for-profit website

Contrary to what some Online TEFL programs claim, it doesn’t cost anything to list your Online TEFL/TESOL program on Trusted TEFL Reviews. Also, we don’t allow any paid advertising because we feel that it could present a conflict of interest. The only advertising allowed is granted to the TEFL program winner of the annual Teachers’ Choice Award. TEFL Online Pro (https://trustedteflreviews.com/category/tefl-online-pro-reviews-in-2025/) is the winner of this year’s award, so they have been allowed to promote any TEFL course discounts that they may run during the year. This additional exposure on Trusted TEFL Reviews is without charge for the TEFL program currently enjoying Teachers’ Choice Award winner status.

I am not a man

I identify as a woman because I am a woman, living and teaching English in Vienna, Austria. Contrary to what some Online TEFL/TESOL companies have written about me online, I am not a “man”, I am not a “dyke”, and I am not a “b!tch”. I am a mother. I co-own Trusted TEFL Reviews with my partner and we run Trusted TEFL Reviews together, from our apartment in Vienna. We also have a small office within the city limits that we visit mostly during the summer months when the air-con in the office is a welcome respite. We also run the Teachers’ Choice Award from this office. It is no Online TEFL/TESOL program’s beeswax what our addresses are and we both feel safer not disclosing our addresses. I have received threats in the past simply because I wouldn’t delete a negative review written about one of the TEFL programs listed on Trusted TEFL Reviews.

We never delete reviews from Trusted TEFL Reviews, unless the review is later found to be fake

Online TEFL/TESOL course programs are the customers of the mainstream Online TEFL/TESOL review websites. The programs pay a yearly fee to be listed on the review website, and this is how those review websites generate the majority of their commercial income. Those review websites have a strong financial incentive to hide negative reviews and hold almost no verification process for publishing positive reviews – the vast majority of which are written by the TEFL company. Trusted TEFL Reviews has a strong verification process in place and we only publish reviews that have been proven to have been written by a real TEFL student. This has infuriated a few Online TEFL/TESOL companies – companies that are used to chalking up fake 5-star reviews on those mainstream TEFL review platforms.

We allow all of the TEFL companies listed on Trusted TEFL Reviews to respond to reviews

All Online TEFL/TESOL companies listed on Trusted TEFL Reviews are free to respond to any review published about their program. The vast majority of programs choose not to, but some do. The most prolific company to respond to reviews – responding to every review they receive – is TEFL Online Pro. This company is proactive and recognizes the importance of thanking customers for writing positive reviews and addressing any issues presented by negative reviews. If an Online TEFL company writes that they tried responding to a review but were unsuccessful in doing so, it is a flat-out lie.

Russian review websites

A few months ago, an Online TEFL/TESOL company reached out to me – a company not listed on Trusted TEFL Reviews – complaining that their business wasn’t doing so well. They blamed their dwindling revenue on the many cheap Online TEFL/TESOL programs undercutting them with lower prices. They suggested that they would “handle the Google Ads campaigns” of those programs through a process known as click fraud. They also suggested that I should write some damning reviews about those programs on complaintsboard.com. I refused the offer and told the individual to focus on improving their course offerings and customer services. complaintsboard.com, dirtyscam.com, and ripoffreport.com are all Russian-owned websites. They may claim otherwise, but they operate outside of countries where they can be held accountable for the defamatory material that they allow to be published on their websites. I read one recent “complaint” that TEFL Online Pro is offering courses illegally and not paying their taxes. This, of course, is just fiction. I also read another “complaint” where someone had written that OISE University of Toronto TEFL is a scam and their certificates are not valid internationally. Also, fictitious. The rogue Online TEFL/TESOL companies use these websites to badmouth their business competitors because all you need to do to have your review published is to verify your email address – using any name to create an account. Those Russian websites feel protected from legal repercussions and they are the go-to websites for the dregs of the Online TEFL/TESOL certification course world.

TEFL companies that want to take over the world

The TEFL Academy (https://trustedteflreviews.com/category/the-tefl-academy/) is the perfect example of a company that wants it all, and they are willing to break all the better business rules to achieve their objective. We began listing this program on Trusted TEFL Reviews a few years ago. Within a couple of days, we received an avalanche of 5-star reviews for them, but not one of the reviewers was willing to prove course participation in The TEFL Academy program. They were fake reviews. We also have it on good word that this company reaches out to its graduates and offers them a free mini TEFL course if they write a positive review. This is why there is such a disconnect between their reviews on Trusted TEFL Reviews and their reviews on Facebook, Trustpilot, etc. World TESOL Academy (https://trustedteflreviews.com/category/world-tesol-academy/) is also guilty of this shameless and flagrant middle finger to the better business rules. They claim to be the “Worlds #1 TEFL Course Provider.” This obviously isn’t true, as are many other claims on their website.

Our advice for Online TEFL/TESOL companies

Interact with your customers! If you receive a positive review, thank the customer for spending their time to review your program. If you receive a negative review, apologize and try to right a wrong. Don’t write false sh*t about me or Trusted TEFL Reviews just because you got some negative feedback.

Our advice for Online TEFL/TESOL students

The Online TEFL/TESOL industry is unregulated and highly competitive. Some companies will swear blind to you that you need to take their course because it has more hours or because it has won so many awards. The Teachers’ Choice Award is the only Online TEFL/TESOL certification course program award that cannot be bought. The industry standard is a 120-hour TEFL/TESOL certification course (140 hours if it includes 20 teaching practice hours). You don’t need more training hours because those extra hours are meaningless for TEFL employers. If you pay less than US$100 for a 120-hour Online TEFL/TESOL certification course, you WILL regret it.

Accreditation

To prevent you from becoming a victim of a TEFL scam, we recommend that you choose a Fully Accredited TEFL/TESOL certification course provider.

The most well-known accreditation companies – offering Full Accreditation:

ACCET – Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training.

ACTEFLC – Accreditation Council for Teaching English as a Foreign Language Courses.

OISE – University of the Toronto Faculty of Education.

TESL Canada

University of Cambridge’s English Language Assessment

If you read anything negative about these organizations online, it has been written by an Online TEFL/TESOL program – a program that likely has no accreditation itself or one that simply pays a dodgy accreditation company an annual fee.

You can see which companies are Fully Accredited and internationally recognized by looking through the program listings in the TEFL Course Directory:

https://trustedteflreviews.com/tefl-course-directory/

The top-rated schools in the directory are top-rated for a legitimate reason.

The low-rated schools in the directory are low-rated for a legitimate reason.

Be smart. Don’t fall for the disinformation and misinformation.

Horrible experience with ITTT TEFL Online.

Worst customer service. Poor course content. Never received my certificate from them. When you try to get through to their office it takes forever for somebody to pick up, and then you just get the same useless answers. They just don’t seem to care that people take their course to receive TEFL certification. Not to then wait months for the certificate to arrive. Won’t issue me a refund and can’t ask my bank for one now as it’s been over 6 months. What to do? I guess it’s a case of just waiting, or spending more money on another TEFL course.

The post “Horrible experience with ITTT TEFL Online.” appeared first on Trusted TEFL Reviews.

ITTT review, submitted by Erin Reitz.

International TEFL and TESOL Training (ITTT)

This is one of the most painful online experiences I have ever had. Although I have had to learn to be more thorough in determining if something offered online is profitable or credible, I will henceforth defend my right to share with the public the negative experiences I have had with this firm, and duly inform the public of the impending disappointment of obtaining certification with this firm.

Having already had past experiences with teaching foreign & English language(s) (i.e., teaching, tutoring, conversational & business language training), I decided that I wanted ‘up’ my credentials with an ESL, or TEFL/TESOL certification.

In the midst of the global pandemic, I signed up for the 120-hour course at teflcourse.net (or ITTT), which cost me around 350 USD/$. It included a tutor, Job Placement Assistance & a free Bus. English course after completion of the main course.

I completed the coursework, including writing 500-1000 word essays at the end of each unit, in addition to submitting a longer essay at the very end. I passed the course with a score equivalent to an A-.

All this was done for nothing. It was as if I handed this company a nearly overflowing cup of effort and resources, just to receive an empty cup in return.

I will now mention the red flags to be aware of before signing up with ITTT:

1) You do not actually EVER hear from, or get to work with an assigned tutor, as promised.

2) The survey of questions before the start of your course on where you want to teach/live abroad is supposed to act as an aid in job placement..but it actually doesn’t.

3) There is no actual adequate Job Placement Assistance, online or abroad, from anyone at all after completing the course. Ever.

4) The certificate took 3 months to deliver for quite a large expense. Also, it is (visibly) documented by several sources to be “a fake TEFL certificate”.

5) Some applicants who are already living and working abroad found that they actually did not
need this certification, but liked the course
anyways.

6) ITTT claims they have practice schools in different locations for applicants to receive hands-on, in-classroom practicum, but you will not hear or receive any information/instruction on completing a required practicum before job placement.

7) Certification from ITTT resulted in the rejection of employment with schools in countries, such as Japan, South Korea, and Germany, because it does not meet the required professional-level standards, which include all of the following:
– At least 100 hours of coursework & training
– Practicum involving live teaching & observation
– Accreditation of reputable examination body
– Lack of actual instruction by qualified instructors
(*instructors who hold Master’s degrees in
TEFL/TESOL with years of overseas teaching
experience)

8) ITTT suppresses reviews that reflect the customer’s disappointment/dissatisfaction with the course, instead of ensuring professional business practices to work with disgruntled applicants by fulfilling promises (if at all applicable) or by offering a refund of payment made.

To further elaborate on the 8th point made, I noticed that when the company invited me to leave a review of their services, they deleted my review on their website — or did not allow it to get through. Then, I received the exact same invitation to leave a review a few more times. I get the feeling that they only want to promote + reviews and are not sincerely interested in quality assurance. You will not hear from an actual live person from this firm. Hear ye.

I have also noticed that almost every review I have read on Trustpilot provides 0 details about their actual job placement at an actual school/institution in said country, by way of ITTT certification/job placement assistance. I have also noted this through other rating sites concerning ITTT. All of the positive reviews focus on rating the course material alone.

My review is real and honest.
I lost hundreds of my dollars and dedicated 120 hrs of my time trying to do something I believed was just; thereby expecting to receive the implied benefits of TEFL/TESOL certification, upon the performance of good faith business practices.

1st April, 2025 UPDATE:

A customer contacted Trusted TEFL Reviews, providing us with the front and back copy of their ITTT International TEFL and TESOL Training certificate, in order to help others to be aware of the dangers of booking courses with them.

They kept it to remind themself of the horrible experience. They believe their review of ITTT is posted on Trust Pilot still (with an unusual response from the owner(s)). Strangely, they remember both the names Linda and James popping up in responses to them when they tried to report them back then.

We can confirm that Linda is Linda Dunsmore – the main affiliate marketer at ITTT.

More information about Linda can be found in this TEFL scam article:

Is ITTT TEFL legit ITTT review, submitted by Margaret.

Is ITTT TEFL Legit? ITTT TEFL course feedback.

ITTT TEFL is definitely legit. They offer a solid online study program that leads to the all-important TEFL certificate – essential if looking to teach English overseas. I enjoyed the course study format. It’s easy to log into and not complicated in the slightest to work through. I paid the extra for tutor support with video tutorials, but I would recommend just going with the standard 120-Hour course without these extras. Unlike a lot of these TEFL programs, ITTT TEFL helps you with job placement services. It was always my dream to teach English in South Korea so that was my target when I signed up and I eventually did end up teaching there. I would definitely recommend South Korea as a teaching destination. The money is excellent, the students are (mostly) motivated, and you get paid for vacation time and national holidays if you teach at a university (like I did.) I’m not sure how things look there now because of COVID-19, but I would imagine they will cautiously begin opening up the country again to foreign teachers possibly in September or October. I taught in Seoul for one year and then returned home to work in a completely different career field, but I’m still in contact with some of my students and I know if I ever go back then I’ll have some great friends to hang out with while I’m there. When I completed the ITTT TEFL course I was offered an additional free course if I left a video testimonial. I chose not to, but see on their school website that a lot of people do choose to do so. I think this is one of the better companies to train with and light years ahead of those cheap Groupon courses which I see advertised more and more online these days. Teach English in South Korea and you won’t regret having made the decision.

ITTT review, submitted by Jana.

Worried about ITTT TEFL! Help!

I would have awarded ITTT TEFL (International TEFL and TESOL Training) the maximum five-star review rating, but since reading about the dubiousness of their ‘ottsa’ accreditation partner, I’m wondering whether I’ve been scammed and if I just wasted a heap of money on nothing of any real value.

I do want to add that the course was really enjoyable, despite not paying the extra for tutor support. The certificate still hasn’t arrived in the post, which I see is a common thread of consumer complaints. But I don’t mind the wait as long as I haven’t been a victim of a scam.

Could somebody please reply? I’ve got my fingers crossed that this is all just an innocent mix-up, but the MyTEFL Scam article has seriously spoofed me because it also mentions ITTT TEFL !!!

Thanks so much in advance for any help or advice whatsoever!

ITTT review, submitted by Kate.

In the ITTT online TEFL Course, you can choose whether you want to have tutor support or not. I paid for this extra feature, but the support I received wasn’t up to my expectations. I wouldn’t recommend paying the extra for online tutor access – it felt the person(s) answering my questions were overwhelmingly busy which resulted in my receiving very short, nondescript answers. I did like the course though. It outstretched my expectations, and I learned a lot – more than I thought I was going to learn on an online platform. The course is not the 120 hours advertised though. More like 20. As others have written, I too was left waiting for my certificate. ITTT really needs to improve on this. When you’ve paid for and taken/passed a course, you expect to receive the certificate soon after. I had to wait more than a month. Overall, an ok choice for the TEFL course online.

ITTT review, submitted by Simon.

Boy, do I wish I had found this site before signing up with ITTT TEFL. If I had then I would never have signed up with them in the first place.

In my opinion, ITTT TEFL is just a money-making machine, with little regard for their customer. It is a shame really because I thought the course study experience was quite good, and it taught me what I consider to be the basics of how to teach English. The problem with ITTT TEFL though is they take a long time to respond to emails and offer little course support, which is something that really frustrated me as I lost some of the work I was working on when their site temporarily went down.

Very poor customer support and they make you wait weeks for your TEFL certificate.
