39$ Groupon promotion TEFL Fullcircle review, submitted by Rosamund.

39$ Groupon promotion.

There were red flags for TEFL Full Circle when I saw it on Groupon for 39$.

After reading this, there should be signal fires because of the reality that you get what you pay for. Specifically, it leaves you without any feeling of preparedness to teach online or overseas.
I can’t promote TEFL Full Circle because I can’t stand behind a certificate program that has no lasting benefits for the teacher. But that’s not all. Here are more reasons why you should avoid this 39$ Groupon TEFL course.

The entire course is reading. It’s just chunks of text repeated over and over again. Plus, when you read through the material, it looks outdated with cheap stock photos of smiling kids.
Reading a wall of text doesn’t prepare you to teach in the classroom – without any interaction, you can’t measure your progress.
Instead, consider taking a reliable course like TEFL Online Pro, which gives you classroom teaching experience with their 140-Hour Hybrid course. You get constructive feedback from professional teachers on how to improve your lesson plans.
It doesn’t prepare you 100% for teaching in a classroom. That comes with time. At least, though, it gives you something to start with and see if you want to become a TEFL teacher.

You get what you pay for when it comes to job opportunities from TEFL Full Circle. They will take your money and run with it.
Meanwhile, other more reputable Online TEFL/TESOL course programs will stand by you every step of the way with lifetime job placement opportunities.
Because these companies not only care about your experience as a student, but they also care about your experience as a teacher. It’s about you increasing your opportunities for higher-paying jobs.
Take a TEFL course that will pay off in the long run. Not just the cheapest one you find at the spur of the moment.

It’s always recommended to take a 120-hour course because it’s the industry standard. Even though the TEFL Full Circle course says it’s 120 hours, it only takes about 12 hours to finish.
The first thing you’ll notice is that it’s unfinished with core content missing from modules. Plus, the whole course is riddled with grammar and spelling mistakes.
This is not the type of thing to inspire you with confidence while taking it. It’s also difficult to navigate and bookmark where you last left off.
The alternative? If you can sign up for an in-person course, I recommend 120-hour courses from TEFL Online Pro and OISE University of Toronto TEFL over TEFL Full Circle.

If you’re not challenging yourself, you’re not trying. The whole purpose of taking a course on anything is to challenge yourself.
It’s not about checking a box that you’re TEFL certified because some employers don’t even recognize TEFL Full Circle certification.
I don’t promote trash so this TEFL Full Circle review comes from my heart. Like all things in life, cheap items eventually end up costing you more.
If you need a legit TEFL certification program, then don’t pick this 39$ Groupon TEFL certification.
My advice is to avoid any of the dirt-cheap Online TEFL courses offered on Groupon.

Oh, and my last point is that Enjoy TEFL is owned by the same people who run TEFL Full Circle.

Both companies offer a subpar “international” TEFL certificate training program

Premier TEFL review, submitted by Anonymous.

Choosing a TESOL course was a really exhausting affair: there are so many options! In the end, I narrowed my search down to Premier tefl, i-to-i tefl, and a TESOL course I saw advertised on Groupon. The Groupon TESOL was less than £100 and although at first I was tempted to go for it, after some more research I quickly realized that these super-cheap courses are probably not worth the piece of paper they’re written on. I’m not so rich that I can afford such a cheap course if you know what I mean. Premier tefl and i-to-i tefl seem to offer pretty much the same courses and their fees are very similar. I wonder, are they the same company? Anyways, I ended up flipping a coin and Premier tefl won the toss. I was very happy with what I paid for and I’m sure I would have been equally happy had the coin turned up Heads for i-to-i. The course structure followed a logical path and apart from a few extra costs I wasn’t fully made aware of at the start, I think this is a very good course and if you are considering Premier tefl and are reading this then there will be no big concerns if you sign up. I’m wanting to teach English in China, where a TESOL certificate is needed, so I’m glad I already have this under my belt.
