Get TEFL Certified & Teach English in South Korea!

International TEFL Academy was extremely helpful from the beginning until the end. It was easy to sign up for a course and get TEFL certified. The course was straightforward and very helpful. It really built my confidence before I actually went abroad to teach. The job search guidance was the best part of this company for me. During the Covid era many things were ever changing and difficult to navigate. The job search team was so helpful and made sure I was able to find the right position for me. They looked over my contract and really made me feel comfortable before going abroad. I am very thankful for their help!

So many things to learn in this course, I really enjoyed it all. The first half of it was really easygoing and made for a really smooth transition into the late part of the course where you are more focused on planning. I appreciated all the help my instructor gave, any question I asked was answered asap.

Currently in Week 10 of the 11-week course. I must say it's been a complete delight. Let's talk specifics: 1. Company: ITA has been very easy to contact, this includes my Instructor, Academic Advisor, and others. Everybody replies to e-mails within a timely manner, and are very friendly and professional. I did watch an introductory video about teaching overseas prior to registering, as part of my research of the company. 2. Course: From someone without teaching experience (my degree was in Kinesiology), this course has been great. The content is easily accessible (Moodle UI is user-friendly, a 5-year old could use it), relevant - current teaching methods/theories/practices, and engaging - designing lesson plans, various learner levels (Beginner --> Advanced), and learning styles are covered). The TEFL Course does not force a student to adopt a certain methodology, and takes a neutral stance on presenting theories/concepts. Any claim is heavily researched/supported. There are videos throughout each module, which bring extra content/insight into the TEFL world, and are kept short and focused. 3. Resources: ITA provides a wealth of resources during the TEFL course, and they are current (no dead links/pages) and easy-to-use. Every week e-mails are sent out with instructions on assignments, and the Instructor's personal comments to the Week's tasks, sometimes containing more resources. 4. Community: It seems ITA has built a strong community presence on social media, and while I have yet to engage with it directly, I respect ITA's commitment to TEFL teachers. There is a sense of cooperation and diligence through the videos and lectures, from people with years of experience and credentials behind them.
