Groupon TEFL course International Open Academy review, written by Terence.

I decided to do the TEFL certificate course (online version) after reading a travel and work article about how it is possible to teach English to fund travel. I can’t remember where I saw this article but it is probably quite easy to find if you search for teach and travel on google. I never thought this could be a possibility so when I heard about it I jumped at the chance. The article recommended I take the TEFL with International Open Academy so I went with their advice and purchased the course through Groupon. It only cost $5!!! I have never done anything like this before but I found it to be straightforward and easy to navigate. I worked for a whole day on it. I started the course at 7 am and had all of it completed by 4 pm. I must write that even though it only took me 7 or 8 hours to complete, I learned so much about teaching. I want to teach in Europe but because of the international covid situation, I won’t be able to do that for the time being. That’s a real shame because I am pretty much all packed and ready to go. I am hoping that the travel restrictions stop soon and then I will be off to Europe to teach and travel. Just like what the article described! I recommend anyone thinking about traveling and earning money to take the TEFL.

TEFL Fullcircle review, submitted by Kathy.

TEFL Full Circle was a deflating experience – largely because it is a very disorganized teacher training program. Why did I choose this company? They have an excellent website and most of the questions which I needed to answer were right there on their site. I then did a bit of digging around online and saw quite a few favorable reviews, so I made the decision to go with them for my TEFL training online.

I had a few problems paying for the course, but that was probably because I was paying for the course when abroad so my bank kept canceling the transaction. When the payment did go through I was able to begin right away. So far so good. The only problem was that the course interface was completely different from the TEFL Full Circle website. They really, really need to update it because it’s very cumbersome and I also counted quite a few spelling and grammar mistakes. This isn’t something I would expect from a company training people to teach English! The subject matter was good though, and this is the reason for this 2-star review. If the organization was better, and if the website study interface worked better, I would be giving 4, or even 5 stars.

There were also some issues with submitting work. Twice, I spent time completing an assignment, only to receive a message later that both hadn’t been received and that I must submit them again. Of course, I hadn’t saved my work because I didn’t think I needed to, so it was back on the drawing board again. Twice this happened to me. It was very, very frustrating!
