Everything went well with no surprises. You pay, get an account started, then you're free to learn. I watched quite a few lessons and have to disagree with a review I read of the course (unless they've changed the vidos) - there's no AI video voices...not that it would really have mattered to me, but AI did ironically bring it up to me as a potential negative. I did the 120-hour course rather than the longer one, so perhaps that's the culprit, but the 120 has real voices. The culture unit was interesting but I'd say they all taught me many new things, so I'm good with it all. I didn't get my own tutor, but two different tutors did respond to my questions pretty sharp. That's me. It's a good course.

Things were like they promised when I message them - videos with human voice (good quality sound), videos of teaching, lots of text to read and buttons to click to keep me from being crazy and bored, and practice activities. The most boring thing is the grammar (which i know already from school of course) and the most interesting is the later units on skills, planning, etc. It's very cheap for the resources they give.

I'm already a teacher but wanted to add English-based certs to my c.v. This program is strong, especially for the price. Here's what my main pros were: excellent communication from staff before I signed up and when I needed help with a small amendment of my cert number; thorough wording - really useful information that covers lots of pedagogy I was already familiar with plus lots of English-subject specifics; nicely formatted lessons that allow you to interact with the info so you don't get bored; video narration of all the text was a cute touch; videos of many classes were good as it let me see it's similar to regular teaching in some ways but nuanced and a bit simpler; detailed feedback on practice assessments; logically sequenced units with good impetus on differences between classroom and online teaching. I'd like to see a bit more feedback on the main quizzes, but I believe they can't give too much or else students could just click to get answers first time and then parrot. Still, there must be a way to balance. Like I said, the feedback on practice quizzes and scenario learning is very good, so maybe this is their work-around? Overall, I strongly recommend this course as it's in-depth and very good value.
