Very Much a Success
February 19, 2026by: Aaron GossochThere is a limit of what a couse like this can provide in only a few weeks. Considering how short it is, it does a great job in teaching all the very basic skills needed. Also, the job resources were very helpful and I did end up getting a contract in Japan, so my experience with ITA was very much a success.
Perfect Option for Japan
February 05, 2026by: H. ShawWhen I looking to get a TEFL for teaching English in Japan, I needed something flexible as I was working full-time. I also wanted a program with positive reviews, as well as job search guidance. While I ended up not taking advantage of the supplementary classes, knowing I had the options was a nice perk.
Successfully teaching in the Jet Programme
January 22, 2026by: Heidi P.I wanted to be able to travel and teach effectively around Asia. The course was excellent, though I I would have liked to cover more grammar than what we did. The back end of the book wasn’t covered in class. I now teach English in the JET Programme in Hiroshima, Japan.
