Everyone on the team at ITA was very helpful in answering all of my questions and helping me achieve my certificate. I spent probably the best 2 years of my life teaching and living in Bangkok, Thailand. While there I met my current fiancé and soon to be wife. Without ITA all of the amazing experiences I had in and out of the classroom would not have been possible. I also formed a few life-long friendships with other teachers, whom were also students of ITA, as well as many others while living abroad. If you’re thinking about teaching in another country, then don’t wait another minute. Sign up now for the TEFL course with ITA today!

ITA offers a robust, well-designed TEFL certification program. The instructors are professional, experienced and very accessible. The practicum is a critical and very worthwhile component of the program and gives students a chance to apply what they learned in class in a real teaching environment.

Expertise obviously comes with experience and I feel like ITA did a good job of making sure you come out with well rounded knowledge for a leg up in the TEFL world.

The International TEFL Academy gave me the tools I needed to start my international TEFL Career. But it didn't only prepare me for my new teaching career; it also gave me access to a fantastic network of TEFL teachers that has been extremely helpful during these years.

ITA's program is okay; however, it is not necessarily great. The program bases itself on providing a lot of information that TEFL students have to accomplish going through in a limited time. The program does not teach "how to actually teach" - provide information to an audience (students) effectively for them to retain that information. I feel that most people could get up and provide information; formal presentations at scientific conferences provide plenty of information to the audience - children or adults, whom may not be interested or learn anything; however, when teaching, the teacher expects the students (audience) to actually learn something - retain the information given to them. Thus, I feel that the teaching process and presentation should be the most vital aspect of teaching English to foreign language students. ITA should improve the program by having students listen to authentic or realistic recorded classes provided by TEFL teachers to different ESL age groups. And, at the same time, making the program more cost-effective and reducing the strict time limitations, providing TEFL students time to thoroughly perceive the information to become fantastic proven-effective English teachers - not just trying to capitalize off of students as much as possible.

ITA is an excellent instructional program! I lived overseas for years, and "taught" English informally, but ITA's course provided the intellectual big picture and professional guidance to learn the details needed to TEACH for RESULTS. Case in point, I'm teaching part-time now, in person, and loving every minute of it!

Completing the TEFL course and Practicum has revitalized my confidence in teaching and tutoring, not only adult learners but young learners as well. In my previous experience (early last decade) online tutoring/ teaching was in its natal stages, since it’s been fully functional, I’ve been worried that the new teaching technologies had outpaced me. After completing the TEFL course, I am confident and excited to participate in this new era of technologically advanced teaching, tutoring and learning. So much so, that I recently interviewed for an EFL teaching position at Three universities in Paris, France and was hired the day of each interview.

ITA was transformative, instructional, and easily the best move for me at retirement. My instructor was very patient, committed to me, and inspiring. I would recommend ITA, to anyone hoping to get out into the world and earning an income.
