Does anyone know how long TEFL International generally takes to reply to applications?

And if you've had any experience with them, was it good or should i seek training elsewhere. I have applied to their 4 week TESOL certicifate programs in Ban Phe, Thailand as well as Alexandria, Egypt. Any and all help and information will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

They're famous for lousy customer relations. They might. They might not. On Phuket right now there are 34 people in the TEFL classroom. How much individual attention might you get?

I would consider a school with a limit to how many people are on the course.

TEFL International certainly do have a limit to their class sizes- when I applied a few years ago, they told me they were full (they may just have not liked the look of me, of course). Crying or Very sad

The Ban Phe course is excellent- I've met many satisfied customers, and their lead trainer is one of the best around. At other centres, it's luck of the draw.

I wrote to them for references and had an answer within 2 days. (I had references from the France location as well as the Rome center and received some very helpful replies.) I submitted an online application to the Mauzac, France location and received an acceptance within 30 minutes.
