I've been reading the message boards for over a month now. I know most of you out there do not recommend online courses, but unfortunately that is all I am able to do at this point. I have done my research and have come across 3 different programs. I welcome any opinions or suggestions as I am having a difficult time deciding between the 3. They are Bridge Linguatec, I-to-I and Innovative Education through TEFL International. Innovation Education offers the same program as the other 2 for double the price...I'm not sure why. Any help would be much appreciated as I am looking to make a decision ASAP.

Thanks!

I did the I-to-i course with its grammar awareness module. Then, after I taught at an international school for a month, did their young learners module. I-to-i has, in addition to the online stuff and the grammar awareness module, weekend opportunities in a simulated classroom environment, and onsite courses that include a teaching practicum. Whether I-to-i is better or worse than other online courses, I don't know. If you do decide to go with an online course (you should check out Jeff Mohammed's course as well), you should take advantage of any opportunity to gain actual classroom experience that you can.
