International TEFL Academy review, submitted by Tenille.

Excellent experience with ITA. One of the best online courses I have ever taken. Online Instructors were hugely knowledgeable, easily available for assistance when needed, and responded with thoughtful answers to questions asked. The course is not easy, a lot of writing and deep grammar knowledge is required. Having worked as a teacher before, the online classes here reflect what you will find in the real world. I think it was money and time well spent.

International TEFL Academy review, submitted by Samantha.

I was pleased with my ITA online course study. It isn’t a self-paced study program like the other ones I saw promoted online. Instead, you have a certain time to start and complete the course. I liked this because it meant I couldn’t drag my feet and I was time-forced to complete everything on time, which is a good thing for someone like me who likes to procrastinate a lot.

I thought the lessons contained in the course were excellent at showing me, as a future teacher, how to present topics to students in a fun but informative way. There were also assignments where I needed to submit lesson plans and these were graded and suggestions for edits were provided. I always got quick replies back. This was important for me because I needed guidance, and the guidance was provided.

International TEFL Academy review, submitted by Joel.

I completed the TEFL program with this company in August 2023.

Positives of the program:

1. The course materials are excellent. They are written and presented on a high level and appear to cover all the core topics of TEFL teaching.
2. The course is supplemented by instructional videos. These segmented the course nicely and ensured that the course didn’t become too wordy or text-heavy.
3. The feedback I received on my assignments was excellent. Someone had clearly taken the time to read carefully through my coursework and the grade I received from each was fair. A few of my assignments also came with recommendations on how I could have improved my work. I learned a lot because of this honest, constructive feedback.
4. The course certificate looks the part.
5. ITA has an international jobs board for graduate students of the program. Although most of the job adverts have been in countries in which I’m not interested in teaching in, I have found a few leads for online teaching jobs.

Negatives of the program:

1. The price of the course is much higher than many others which I have looked at since. I’m not really sure why this is so when the course follows the same syllabus as many cheaper TEFL courses.
2. The big negative for me was the rigidity of the course timetable. I hadn’t realized there were courses you can take without a set start and end date. If you take this course, you have to start and end on a certain date and you have to submit your assignments on specific dates too.
3. It took me about a week to come to terms with the study platform (Moodle). It’s outdated software and there were glitches in the system from time to time.

Overall a bit of a mixed review from me. The course is fantastic, there is no debate there, but the rigidity of the course timetable will probably put a lot of people off from taking this course. If ITA could move away from using Moodle, I think they would dramatically improve the course experience for students in the program.

I’m going to rate the ITA TEFL program a 60% for student satisfaction.

International TEFL Academy ITA International TEFL Academy review, submitted by Deanna.

International TEFL Academy ITA experience was OK. Not great. Not terrible either.

Positives of the course were mainly because of the actual course. It’s a quality product and I didn’t find it difficult to navigate through. I read a review where someone said you might as well just buy a TEFL book instead of taking this course. I completely disagree with that statement. the course does read like a textbook in places but offers so much more in terms of how the content is presented. I learned a heap about presenting grammar and language via the medium of games and other activities. you can’t get this level of learning from a book. If I were grading it as a stand-alone course, I’d give it a maximum of 5 stars.

What I thought were negatives of the course have been shared by other International TEFL Academy ITA reviewers on Trusted TEFL Reviews. Student support wasn’t anywhere near the level promised. You do experience full-on support when you are being led to pay for the course but then it falls off a cliff. I was also nickel-and-dimed for course extensions and certification fees. When they also wanted payment for helping me develop my resume and for job placement services I just stopped contacting them and decided to go it alone.

The overall conclusion of my time spent on the International TEFL Academy ITA certification course is that I learned a lot about TEFL (big thumbs up) and I also learned that I should have chosen a TEFL program that offered more in the way of student support. I think ITA TEFL is too large an organization and it shows (big thumbs down).

International TEFL Academy review, submitted by Andrea.

The ITA course was very structured and packed full of information. I liked that it included information on how to teach English to different student learner levels. Just learning about the different levels was an eye-opener in itself. It does take some time to get used to the course platform, and there is a set time schedule for the course, and some people might not find that convenient. I did because I had the free time and the motivation to learn and succeed. ITA’s course takes four weeks to finish and the course certificate was delivered to my home address about a month and a bit after. I haven’t experienced any issues when applying for jobs with the ITA certificate. The one reason why I’m rating the course four and not five stars is because of the price of the course and the certificate. I’ve been doing some course comparisons and ITA’s course and certification fees are way more expensive than other similar programs. Do I recommend the ITA course? Yes. It was hard work and I gained a lot from my input and from the input of the course instructors. I often refer back to the course materials when I plan for my English classes and my students appreciate the structure and effectiveness of my teaching.
