IntrepidTEFL

Did I spend 120 hours on this? No. If I'd read everything and watched all the videos, etc., then yes, I could see how it might take that long, but if you just skim the text, do the activities and then sit the mandatory unit exams like I did, it'll take you far less time. What I liked most was that it was self paced, so there wasn't that micro managing that often goes on with forcing you to watch this or do that without reason. Sometimes I needed longer to understand parts, so I re-read them and spent time reading the activity feedback. Other things were more obvious. I finished in only 8 days but still felt like I learned a lot. The certificate is lovely and staff replied pretty fast the one time I emailed.

I definitely recommend this TEFL course form Intrepid. I'm not a particularly patient learner, but their content had enough to it to make it engaging and digestible. There were opportunities to learn about online teaching and planning reading lessons and similar stuff. What stood out to me was how each unit gave another angle on teaching, whether it was looking at culture or motivation and using games. I think it was put together in a nice and logical way. Tests are frequent but not too hard. I'd say it was a great overall mix of content and testing.

Loved the way the course was organized and clean. They did a really good job of giving info without being too verbose. I loved every part of the actual learning experience as it was just smooth and made sense. What did put me off initially, and almost made me go elsewhere, was the relative lack of info pre enrolment. Do better with having more pages about the course and this course will be all round great!
