I just used International Open Academy for 5 bucks and the process was pretty lazy TBH. Now I'm starting to wonder if my TESOL certification from International Open Academy is worth anything? I mean it was only 5 bucks, but still... I'm wondering if any companies abroad will accept it?
Nah, my TEFL certification course wasn't hard at all. I skimmed through most of the material and passed the end of unit tests. I then put it on hold once I started my degree program (I only had that paper left to send to finish the course). Now that I'm pretty much done with my degree program I am going to send in that last lesson plan and then I'm done.
I should mention though that "some" countries are starting to crackdown on TEFL certs that are gotten purely online. As in they won't process your visa if it was gotten through an online course. Due to that if the company I work for offers a TEFL on the job I might take that one as well because at least then I would have gotten it in person and I would be able to get around that visa issue.
