TEFL Online Course

I completed the 11-week online TEFL course. Overall, I would definitely recommend it! The content is extensive and informative, including a lot of general teaching advice as well as advice specifically for teaching English. They also have a lot of videos with advice from current and former EFL/ESL teachers which I found really helpful. The classes are small so the instructor was quick to respond and gave really good feedback.

It definitely is time consuming. Be prepared to do a lot of reading and spend fair amount of time on the assignments. You do make several lesson plans which is great practice when you can get feedback on them, but it takes time. I did this course while going to college full time and did struggle somewhat, but it's manageable. Just don't expect to get by putting in minimal time and effort.

Even though it is more expensive than other TEFL courses I researched, I think it's worth it for how much you learn and how helpful the resources are. They constantly have discounts so watch out for when they drop the price $100-$300 (I got mine $300 off). BUT, the price doesn't include the textbook, which isn't required, but I didn't realize that going in and it felt a bit sneaky. You also lose access to the online material after 3 months so you have to save anything you want to look at in the future. Other than that, I don't regret spending the money.
