|
|
I have been thinking about signing up for a TEFL International course in Korea for some time.
They have one starting next month that would work for me but.....
Dealing with them has been somewhat unprofessional. Their course is not cheap. It's over $2000.
Does anyone have experience with them?
Is their course recognized in and out of Korea?
How was the course?
Any input would be appreciated. That being said, I am only looking for input about them, the quality of the course and the recognition of their certificate. |

I did TEFL International in Costa Rica.
As someone who had never taught previously, I found it informative and helpful. You learn about teaching methodologies and techniques and get real classroom experience. Plus I got to hang on the beach for a month.
That said, I have no experience with the Korean branch. |

Same same same - mine in Zhuhai, China last year. It was an excellent four-week course and involved my teaching something like 18 classes and watching 20 more. |
