I knew it was a cheap TEFL course and wasn&#8217;t expecting too much but was genuinely shocked at the low-bar quality of the content. Every module was a chunk of poorly written text with a few multiple-choice questions at the bottom of the page. I would have learned more by purchasing a book on TEFL. Contacted IOA immediately to cancel. I got a copy-and-paste reply back after about a week, stating too much time had passed now between the time I purchased the course so a refund wasn&#8217;t going to be given. This is obviously a way of trying to cover their backs when students realize they signed up for some low-bar TEFL course and made me feel incredibly pi**ed. Even though it wasn&#8217;t that much money, I wanted it back. I didn&#8217;t start the course. In the end, I contacted my bank and they are trying to claw back the money on my behalf. I should have known going in that a really cheap course would be a mistake. My bad. I can&#8217;t imagine that a certificate from this company would be accepted by any reputable language school. Really. This course is a joke. It&#8217;s only now that I&#8217;m reading the other reviews on Trusted TEFL Reviews about this company and can clearly see I&#8217;m not the only one left feeling like this. My advice: avoid IOA TEFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/trustedteflreviews.com\/category\/international-open-academy\/\">International Open Academy reviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-click-here-for-the-online-tefl-tesol-international-certification-course-teachers-choice-award-winner-international-online-tefl-tesol-course-certification-at-its-best\">New!
