Guaranteed Paid Teaching Jobs in Costa Rica

This course exceeded my expectations by far. An intensive month, but gives you the skills needed to teach English at a professional level. You learn that there are many ways to elicit conversation and teach your students English without knowing the native language.

International TEFL Academy is a great program! I have been very impressed with the help I have received from the first time I contacted the program. All of the staff is very helpful! I learned a great deal in the course. I'm excited to use the skills I learned from the TEFL course!

Look, you want honest feedback right? Chances are, if you're reading these reviews, your genuinely considering taking a TEFL Course and you want to see which ones are legit and which are scams. "Hurr durr, how do I know you're not just a filthy shill?" Excellent question, that's what you should be asking if you make good investments. Short answer is, you don't, long answer is, you should continue investigating on your own to see which of the legit companies offer the best service. That being said, yeah, I'm going to shill for International TEFL Academy. Know why? Cause not only are they a legitimate TEFL company, but they're GREAT at what they do, and they actually care. Gather around children, for I will tell you my tale. ITA costs about a thousand and two hundred dollars to enroll in. If you're like me, then that's a big investment, and you want to make sure you're not being cheated, so you research and end up calling ITA to be explained what they offer and how it can be validated. I ended up talking to a guy called Britton Schaude, an Admission Advisor, for about an hour. This was the FIRST SIGN that ITA was a good business and excellent company; because Admission Advisor phone calls are limited to thirty minutes maximum. This guy talked to me for double that amount of time, answering my questions and giving me proof that they were legit because I wanted to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that I was going to be getting a TEFL Certificate. Abroad was new to me at the time, but prior to talking to him, I'd done my research, so I was able to clarify everything that I didn't understand. "Huur but he kept other people waiting." Except that the whole reason he was able to talk for an hour was because he didn't have another phone appointment until later that day. He could've explained that it was a half an hour policy and hung up, but then I wouldn't have taken the course. It's like Chick-Fil-A, when the COMPANY is rock solid and has actual values, it's reflected in the people who work there. There's a reason Chick-Fil-A is known for its excellent "My Pleasure" service. Good service. Good food. I enrolled and found that there was authentication and paperwork for taking the course and getting my certificate, which only reinforced my notion that it was legitimate. Once I was taking the actual course, I found it was neatly organized into sections, similar to any online college course. I had an instructor I could email my questions to. She graded my assignments in a timely manner, they make you go out and do the actual irl practice. Now I'm done with the course and am writing this review. So yeah, they did a pretty decent job, and as a company they do good work. Great service. No food though. tldr; Legit company. Great service. If you want the certificate, take the course.
