the ITTT world why did you choose an ITTT program yes I'm going to tell you because it really fits very well into today's topic doesn't it so today we're going to talk about 10 advantages of taking a Teflor TESOL course with ITTT um and yeah how I found out about ITTT I was basically already teaching in China and I knew that I wanted to move to South Korea to teach after that um and I was looking for a Tefl course I was looking to get Tefl certified and I literally just did a google search I can't remember probably just like online Tefl course or something and ITTT popped up and I checked out their website and it seemed everything looked really good and the price was right um which is also an important part and one of the reasons was also that the course was online um because I was working so I needed it to be very flexible and I took the course and then they uh because I already had my blog at that time um but it was all about basically China it's a little bit different but anyway um I had my blog and everything and basically they asked me to record some videos like kind of like a video diary about my course experience and share it with my followers and I did that and they really liked it and they basically offered me a job working for ITTT in marketing and so that's how I kind of slid into ITTT working for ITTT so I was a customer I took the course and I have my certificate right here I'm going to show you also in a little bit um but I took the course first and then afterwards I started actually working for ITTT so I'm going to we're going to talk about some of the reasons that I just mentioned why I chose ITTT ITTT I don't know why this becomes so difficult to say I've been working for ITTT for a long time and now I'm going to stumbling over all the teas all of a sudden I don't know maybe I need a vacation I just got back from a vacation though not too anyway I'm also curious why if you're TEFL certified with us ITTT why did you choose international TEFL and TESOL training ITTT why did you choose ITTT for your program for your TEFL so let me know why did you choose us for what was like the main reason I'm very curious about that okay here we have easy English course school hello good evening from Brazil I'm Rodolfo from Sao Paulo very cool hi how are you doing thank you so much for joining Rodolfo I love your picture cool all right nice so I think we have a little cool little group right now here we are live um I don't know if you know on Facebook and on YouTube at the same time so we have YouTube people here we have Facebook people here we have everybody under one roof and like I said please don't forget to like and subscribe because we do go live every week with other interesting topics and Q&A sessions and just lots of free information if you want to teach English abroad become an English teacher you know you really want to do as much research as possible and so these live sessions are for that to provide you with really everything you need to know to start a successful career in teaching English in TEFL and really taking a TEFL course is the first step in doing so it was for me as well and um that's why we're going to talk about these 10 advantages of taking a TEFL or TESOL course with ITTT today all right and let's see how I can do this on just one computer because normally like I said I do use two but I think it should work and I hope I can see the chat I hope okay all right it should work if not I will do I will check into the comments periodically but I think it will be okay like this for now oh and I do want to make myself smaller so you can actually read the slides so let me do that as well all right great I think it should work pretty well like this uh great so let's move on yeah so there's actually many many many more reasons than just 10 reasons to choose ITTT and we actually have a um a page on our website that covers all of the advantages of choosing ITTT and we have 45 on there so if you're interested you can check that out um this is what it looks like this um this is the link best minus TEFL minus course um and you can check it out and read through all of the reasons on your own there's so many that's why I just picked the 10 most important advantages or reasons to choose ITTT today we don't want to go through 45 that's going to take a long time and as always at the end there will be a Q&A so you can ask me questions at the end as well all right okay okay great uh Crystaline she's asking out of curiosity if we take all the courses with the 550 hour courses are we able to use those as credits for our other teaching degree yes so I'm actually going to cover this question as well so stay tuned and um yes I'm going to talk about that in just a second all right let's have a look at the first one and I think this is actually where I cover it see credit bearing so first reason why to choose ITTT it's all of our courses obviously are internationally recognized and accredited and credit bearing so you're gonna you you see a lot of different logos on here um because we have so many different kind of course formats they're in-class courses they're online courses they're also combined courses we have a lot of different accreditations so um and I pulled this up here on the website basically Lamar University accredits and validates our in-class courses okay along with the Paris University University of International Education in France so they actually accredited accredited our in-class courses um and each student they also receive an official transcript from the Paris University of International Education with your TEFL certificate so that is really really good and then we see the logo for teacher training council so they actually moderate our five-day combined courses so they do that one a little bit uh difficult to navigate this but then we have like I already said the Paris University of International Education and they're also accrediting our online courses as well and this makes ITTT actually the only 100-percent online TEFL and TESOL certificates available on the market that are validated accredited and credit bearing from an internationally recognized university so that is something that only ITTT offers at the moment and so the credits earned from the PCIE the Paris University of International Education they can be transferred to universities all over the world and in the US credit evaluation services consider PCIE to be in the same bracket as a US regionally accredited university all right and we do have I can show you this we have that also on our website so you can have a better understanding of how this works so credit bearing TEFL and TESOL courses by ITTT and perhaps I can also show you so this answers your question Christine um let me see if I can share this tab here yes okay I think it should work let's see okay great so this is the page uh where you can read that on the website and I'll just share it with you one more time um so you can have a look one second so if you go here this is the link to this website you'll see all the um course options so this is Christine what you were asking about the 550 hour expert package and for this one you actually get nine credit credits for the bachelor for bachelor's degree and six credits for a master's so this is the highest one right and then you can see all the other course options and how many credits towards a degree you get with that course so that's how that works and if you're interested in that and all the details my colleagues in the the course directors they can actually help you out with that and they can let you know exactly how this works if you're interested in going down that route this can be a really great way for teachers who are who don't have a degree yet so if you're taking a test the course it will actually help you working towards that degree so I recommend if this is something you're interested in and you want to learn more about it um email us at courses at tso-testle.com and then my my colleagues over at the um course consultation department they will help you out and they will you know all of the details because again this varies from person to person everybody's background is different so um you need to have an individual consultation to talk about all of these things but yeah this is basically how it works and these are all of the accreditations and um accrediting bodies that validate our courses so you can really be sure that your course is recognized worldwide around the world um there's no problem there right they're accredited all around the world so you don't need to worry about that at all okay great and then we also this is another great advantage we have um certificate notarization services available so this is something that only some people will actually need you can see the slide right now right okay great okay so this is something that only a handful of people will actually need it depends on the country where you want to go to I think in China you will actually need this and I think in Vietnam you will also need this if you want to teach in either one of those countries and maybe depending on the employer you might also need this so this is something that not everybody needs but if you need it we can help you get this additional stamp and you can actually um verify our courses on our website so you can go to certificate minus verification and um this is one way you can basically put in your unique certificate number every certificate has a number down here I'll show you this without the blur in a minute but every certificate has a unique number that you can validate and your employer can also validate on our website and make sure that this is a real certificate and that it's really you who took that certificate so that is one way and then the notarization is basically um there's two different ways so depending on what you will need these are the two most common common types I guess of notarization that teachers need abroad and again this is not needed in every country and every teacher it's actually not that common but especially in places like China and in Vietnam you will need that so one option would be a notarized copy of your certificate printed and stamped and signed by a notary public and this is something we can help you with if you need that you can just let us know and we will send you that and the second option is a copy of your original TEFL certificate authenticated by an ITTT registrar and then also have it counter signed by a notary public at the same time so this is kind of one level higher the highest level of notarization that might be required so if you need that we can do that you don't have to hire an extra service for that you can just let us know and you'll save a bit of money all right so that is another advantage of ITTT that we offer this additional service so you don't have to hire a third party or anything like that all right then let's have a look at advantage number three so our courses offer a lot of practical content and we also offer tutor support and I think this is an important part to mention especially to people who you know look on Groupon and they see um $20 TEFL courses or completely free TEFL courses this is a part a point that these free TEFL courses will absolutely not have okay so um all of our online courses they cover as much practical content as possible right we have a lot of additional video material you can also again with the tutor support you can actually ask your tutor questions so this is a great balance actually between the theoretical part and real-world content that is something that we really try to do our best with with these courses because they're online we still try to make them as practical as possible as close to the real world as possible but you can also actually add a practical teaching element to your certification if you for example choose the 150 hour certification course with teaching practice so this actually includes six hours of real teaching if this is something want you can also use do this as an add-on to your 120 hour TEFL course and add on a 30 hour certificate with um teaching practice again six hours of teaching practice this is sometimes required depending on the country where you want to go to and depending on the the employer that you want to work for um and then again we have the tutor options so this if you choose tutor support and I highly recommend you do especially if this is your first time doing an online course um taking uh having this TEFL tutor that guides you towards the successful completion of your training is really really helpful and you can ask them questions they can get back to you and um it's just a good uh additional support and a little bit push for you to complete the course so yep let's see all right let me see the questions here real quick so we have crystalline who says that actually is a huge relief because right now I am ongoing to school for early childhood education and I thought it might be I might be able to take some of these classes together yes so definitely reach out to my colleagues via email crystalline to get some clarification on how you can achieve this and then you have one more question if it's possible to go to the master's degree program for ITTT after getting the degree yes we actually offer a master program as well so again please email us with these questions but it is possible and my colleagues will then walk you through how to do that okay that's really awesome that you want to go this route that's great so my my colleagues will be able to explain everything to you in detail and walk you through exactly each step and what you need to do all right then we have uh easy english ridolfo I did a degree here in brazil but unfortunately my certificate is just valid here what is the best suggestion for an international teaching course I should take yeah definitely you are here at the right place so like I just said all of our courses are internationally recognized and validated and accredited by international bodies so if you take a tether course from ITTT you will be able to teach english abroad it will be accepted in countries abroad as well sure you're very welcome crystalline I hope everything goes well good luck with everything sounds great okay so let me get back to my slides if I can okay okay there we go a little bit difficult to navigate everything without uh with just one laptop today okay is this right yes advantage number four so we do have a vast range of different courses and I kind of touched on that already so we do have online courses we have combined courses and we also have in-class courses so three different formats and then a bunch of different options in each category right so there's really something for everybody we uh really try and also stay up to date on like the newest developments in the tether industry so we constantly research and come up with new courses to add to our portfolio depending on what is in demand so very popular courses that we have are the business english teaching business english courses and also the teaching english to young learners courses which target children and then we also have a course about teaching online specifically we also recently rolled out courses about phonology phonetics and grammar so do check that out if you're interested and this is basically the course where usually it all starts for everybody okay this is the 120 hour course which is uh or has become the international standard right so if you've heard about 120 hours or 100 hours in tether training this is sort of the minimum that you should have in terms of tether training hours that is accepted worldwide or required worldwide um so this course is this is actually also the course that i took and i will show you this without the blur in just a second but um this course is 100 online and it covers 20 units so the it basically is 50 50 between like teaching methodology teaching theory classroom management those kinds of things and english grammar and this course is great because you can study at your own pace you have up to six months to complete the course which is awesome and you get an embossed hard copy certificate delivered straight to your door wherever you are in the world so that's really really great that is included in the price um so something like this and let me turn this blur off just so you can actually see the certificate hold on one minute uh let's see oh how do i turn this off again here okay i got it one moment here okay there we are now you should see it so it looks like this if you haven't seen this before and let me just remove this for one minute so you can actually see the certificate um so this is the itt t certificate it is very very nice it is uh very nice material embossed it is hard copy it has the signatures of our um academic director and course director on it and again it has the uh type of course so the course hours on it and the date when you completed the course and your name of course and the great thing also about this certificate is that it does never expire so this is also really great that's why there's no expiration date or anything like that on the certificate um so this is good for life you don't have to renew it obviously it's good to kind of um stay up to date in the industry to see if there's any you know new things coming out in terms of teaching methodologies and stuff like that but you don't have to renew this at all it is good for life and this is the unique number that i mentioned in the beginning so it is actually here at the bottom and this number is unique uh for every certificate and every course taker so you can go to the website or your potential employer can go to our website and put in this number and then verify that this is a real certificate and that really you took this course and this is really yours so that's very useful because in recent years because photoshop and all these things people thought oh i just photoshopped my certificate and then use that for applications but this kind of prevents that and um you know is one way to prove that you really took this certificate basically all right great if you have any questions about the certificate let me know and i'll show you again but and also this one is i got this in 2015 and it still looks very nice and also you get a pdf version a virtual version online version of the certificate as soon as you complete the course so you can already um start applying as soon as you get it that's also a great advantage and yes here you also see on the right side we also have specialization courses and these are great for just adding on to your portfolio so as you can see we have business english what i just said also young learners and teaching online we also have a bunch of new ones like english grammar and phonology and things like that um so i can also show you those i also took the young learners and the business english so they just look the same like this and i keep that in a little binder with all my other certificates and again you also get these as a pdf online version this is the teaching english online certificate so they all look like that they all have this unique number as well um so you can verify it and um it's all cool uh i just turned the blur back on okay great all right yeah you're welcome Rodolfo he says thank you so much for clarifying this for me absolutely no problem so this is one point about the certificate and then we also i also want to mention those the bundles because if you choose a course bundle so that includes different courses a bunch of different courses then you can actually save some money so i just wanted to put that in there and the course that i actually took is the 220 hour master package plus um i also have the teaching english online course so i really really recommend if you really want to teach english professionally and long term i recommend it to an 220 hour master package i just think this one really includes everything it's the perfect certificate to start with and then once you see oh i really want to keep teaching for a while i really like this career path then you can certainly add in the diploma you can go higher um unless you're already absolutely certain you already are a teacher and you just lack the certification then you can certainly go with the top which is the 550 our expert package um and again all of these courses you can get university credits you can transfer them so that's also another great option then we have advantage number five and i also kind of touched on this already all of our courses obviously the online courses are easy to study from anywhere in the world at your own pace so this was one big reason why i chose ittt you can actually use ittt's online study platform you can just log in on your computer you get a username and a password and you just log in and you have all of your course content right in front of you and you have access to all of the materials and assessment strategies and you can also download them you can download them so we have some students who study 100% just online they they read it online everything in the platform we also have students who like to download the materials and kind of put it on their ebook for example like on their ebook reader or on their tablet or something and then we also have students who print out all of the materials and read it like on paper so it really depends on what kind of you know what how you study what you prefer we have some students who print out everything and they keep everything like in a binder like this at the end so they can always refer back to it you can certainly do that um you can also save all of them all of the files online in the cloud for example or on your computer and you always have it as well and you can literally access the dashboard from any location in the world with internet connection and via any device you like so you can you can study on your pc on your laptop on your tablet smartphone and from wherever you are and you can download them so you can also study offline so it's really really convenient it's really great and i think it's really something for any kind of learner right however you learn whether you really needed a paper or just online it will work for you and that was one reason why i chose this course because i was working full time and i really needed this flexibility to study when i wanted whenever where i wanted whenever i wanted basically so there are no times like where you need to be online and take like a life class it's nothing like that you can literally just work through the units at your own pace and whenever you want so the ultimate flexibility really and then we have number six which is also a very important part and this is also something that these cheap courses the group on tefl courses the free 20 or whatever courses certainly don't offer is lifetime job assistance and efl partnerships so what does that mean all of our ittt course graduates they have access to lifetime job assistance so this means you have access to our database of potential employers we have a huge network ittt has been operating for over 25 years so we have built a huge network of tefl schools recruiters educational institutions of all kinds all around the world so you have access to all of that and you also get exclusive leads on unadvertised jobs because again these are institutions that we have had relationships with for years and some of them they only strictly hire itt certified teachers because they know our courses they like our curriculum and they value what we do and so they send us their job offers and they specifically pick people from our graduate pool only so you will not find these jobs anywhere else so this is also really really great and then we also offer advice on constructing a high quality tefl cv or resume we help you write one and we also give you advice on writing a teaching tefl cover letter for your interviews and for your applications and we also assist with planning trial lessons for job interviews so in some job interviews for teaching positions you will be asked to actually hold a mock lesson so you might actually have to teach for like 20 minutes on a certain topic and we will help you kind of plan that if you need that help and kind of take that pressure away because it's something that's very daunting right you need to teach your potential employer it's a little bit scary but they want to see you know your teaching style they want to see how you teach and so that's a very important part of a tefl interview and it can happen some everybody does it but a lot of a lot of them actually require that and so that's also something that we provide help with okay let's see yes Rodolfo says this flexibility is amazing yes that's literally one of the main reasons why I also chose this course and why many of our course takers choose this course because it's so flexible and just great for anyone who has other commitments who are working or anyone who has children or any other kind of commitment other jobs and yep it's just very flexible okay great so we are already at advantage number six so let's have a look at the next point oh yeah and I also wanted to mention this is about the lifetime jobs assistance this is totally for free included in the course prize and it's forever it never expires the job assistance so some tefl providers they will offer job assistance for six months or a year but ours is forever so even if you don't want to teach right away you want to wait a year or maybe you wait two years or maybe you take the course and then life happens and then you come back to us five years later or 10 years later you will still get free lifetime job assistance and we will still help you you can come back to us and like hey I'm an ITTT course graduate I got my certificate in 2020 but now I'm ready to teach so help me now and you let us know where you want to teach and we'll do our best to help you find a suitable position or we recommend alternatives because again it depends on everybody's different everybody's background so some people might not be able to go to their desired location right so we will do our best to find your job elsewhere the best possible option all right then we have advantage number seven ITTT's Teflon TESOL courses are excellent value for money so we offer courses and I mentioned it of all different kinds online combined in class and then different hours and whatever so we have Tefl certification courses really to suit all budgets that's really important to us we want to make Teflon TESOL training accessible to everybody no matter your background or where you from or you know your financial abilities so we have anything from 60 hour introductory courses to 250 hour diploma courses you definitely find a course that is affordable and suitable for your future employment plans and on top of that we have flexible payment options some of the courses you can actually pay in installments so again you can contact us the email address that I shared and speak about speak with my colleagues about those details and many of our courses they also come with a free specialized course which will add a real shine to your future job applications so if you sign up for a 120 hour course with tutor support you actually get a free course on top of that so usually that's how it works and so there are a lot of great options we have special deals all the times just follow like and follow and subscribe so you are up to date on all of those things and again we have a 30% off opportunity also during this live session which is also really great and you can take advantage of so yep and then advantage number eight just something really quick we do have excellent reviews everywhere which is something that's very important nowadays right I don't know about you but me certainly before I buy anything I check reviews online I want to see what people say about it if they like the product or the service I'd certainly go online and search for reviews and we are very proud to say that we have excellent ratings and excellent reviews on all the major sites on Google reviews on Trustpilot on reviews.io so if you head over there you can certainly see what real people say about us and really also people from all different walks of life and parts of the world are generally very very happy with our courses and that's also one thing we just try really hard to gather reviews and we always send out reviews or review requests to our people to gather these real life reviews and as you can see up here we did also win some awards for our excellent reviews that we have on different websites and we're just very proud of that that's just something that these days matters a lot especially when there's so much competition like I said in the beginning you do a quick google search of testful courses and you'll see hundreds if not thousands of different providers or courses so you really need that kind of stuff to stand out and we're just very proud of that that we achieved these these awards and these excellent ratings so that's certainly something that's important and I think that also says a lot because like I said I certainly look at the reviews before I buy anything even if it's just a small thing I certainly watch the reviews all right we have Daniel here who says being able to be picked from an exclusive employment pool is a great addition to the job assistance feature you offer absolutely I agree thank you all right and then we go to advantage number nine yep so all of ITTT staff we all have personal experience living working and teaching English abroad everyone who works at ITTT has this experience and if you notice in this picture this is actually me and when I was teaching my first year in Korea I was teaching at a Korean English speaking kindergarten that was my class but yeah not only me all of ITTT staff we have been living abroad and we have been teaching English and stuff and that's very important obviously that's something you should look for in a testful provider if you're looking at different providers and you're figuring out which one to choose that's certainly something that says a lot obviously this is a service that we're trying to sell to people so we should also know how it's done and we should have the same experience right but again because we all lived abroad because we all taught English abroad and many of us are still actively teaching at the moment too so we know exactly what you're going through we have been there so we walked in those shoes before so we basically know what we're talking about right so it's something very important and that's why we're also doing these live sessions because we just want to share as much information as possible to help others and that's just one of our goals so just wanted to put that out there I think that's an important part I'm sure there are some TEFL especially the group I know I bring this up a lot the group on TEFL courses but they're just not great and I'm sure these people who put them on there are not teachers have not taught abroad I don't know I just think I'm not sure I'm just thinking that so allegedly okay not saying that they are not but I doubt it and then it leads us to our final point which ironically also talks about final exam last point so we actually have no final exam which means no pressure for our TEFL courses so all of our online courses they include ongoing assessments as you work through the materials and then there is no need for a final exam at the end after every unit basically you actually complete an assessment and then an average requirement of 75 percent across all of these course unit assignments is required to pass the course there is however a summative task at the end so you have to write like an essay but that is very flexible you can write about we provide you with I think 70 different topics you can choose from and it's very low pressure so it's not a real exam it's just a summative task and essay and this is just really minimal stress and means more time planning your actual teaching adventure you don't have to worry about this big exam at the end you can focus on what's important you can really focus on the the material and learning it studying it working through the units with these unit assignments and then focus on what's important completing the course and then starting your new chapter so that's also a big advantage of ITTT okay then this is how you can find ITTT online again teflocourse.net we're on facebook where many of you
