International TEFL Academy review, submitted by Callum.

I also finished the online version of ITA (International TEFL Academy, operating out of Chicago IL). As someone with a master’s from a prestigious college and with no prior background in English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction, I found the course very easy and relatively useful. Like so many online (or in-person) classes, you get as much as you put in. I honestly did next to no research to compare programs and picked ITA because it appeared legit enough. I want to teach in South Korea sometime not so far into the distant future. I was hoping an ITA certificate would give me a bit more flexibility on where I ended up. I haven’t gotten a job yet (not for any fault from ITA, I’m still working full-time and don’t have the time yet to delve into research options) so I can’t comment on their after-sales pitch. I did have a friend though who did the same ITA course as me and his assessment was their job guidance is decent but still very self-driven (they’ll proofread your resume and give you a list of schools to look at, but not much else). I hope this review doesn’t put you off from taking the ITA online course. The course wasn’t bad, but it seems their after-sales services could up a notch or three.

Is ITA certification worth it? International TEFL Academy review, submitted by Rachel.

Is ITA certification worth it?

I completed my ITA TEFL certification online course earlier this year and although the course was what I would rate as being very good, I have struggled to find work. I’ve only managed to accumulate a few teaching English online hours. I don’t like putting blame on other things and people, but I had no help finding a job whatsoever and I have found it difficult to work out which companies are the good ones to teach for and which ones are the companies to avoid. I have asked ITA TEFL for some help, but I never received any replies back to my requests. They were very good with communication when I was in the process of purchasing the course and when I was taking my course, but once the certificate was issued all communication stopped from their side. I know there are some companies that will help place teachers in jobs, but I don’t want to get ripped off by being placed in a low-paying job. I’ve read others complaining about the lack of post-course support with this company too. What’s the point of taking a TEFL course if there is no clear path to employment? I must write though that the course was very good, so if you already have a job lined up and just need a TEFL certificate then I would recommend ITA TEFL. If like I was, you are under the impression that ITA TEFL will help you with employment advice after the course then I would reconsider this TEFL certification program. I am hoping that by writing this review that someone from ITA will see my review and get back to me.

Is ITA certification worth it? Without the job’s support, I would say that it isn’t.
