TEFL Training with i-to-i

I bit the bullet and signed up for a TEFL training program this morning. As I mentioned in my previous entry, I was considering going with i-to-i after speaking with Josh, one of their representatives.

So I put in on my credit card.

For $549 (not as bad as it could be, but I still wanted to die a little), I will receive a certificate for 140 hours. 120 hours are online and 20 hours are in-class. I will spend two full days in NYC doing the in-class segment in June. Additionally, Josh threw in a Specialist Course for teaching one-on-one lessons. This usually costs $50, but after expressing the fact that I saw a 10% off coupon on their website, Josh threw it in for me because he said they weren’t offering that deal anymore. Whatever. I’ll take it. I’ll take all the certificates.

Anyway, I started the online section today and it’s pretty sweet. The course is broken up into Part A and Part B. Each part is broken down into different sections. Within each section, there are things to read, videos, short answers, and fill-in-the-blanks. At the end of each section, there are Progress Checks, which are little quizzes to test what you’ve learned. You have to score 80% or above to progress to the next section. I am up to section 3, and at the end of section 3 there was a Checkpoint. This consisted of 5 essay questions that I had to answer. They have to be graded before I can progress.

I dig it.

And just as a side note or a disclaimer or what have you, I have not been paid by anyone to write about i-to-i. This is just my personal opinion and experience. So there’s that.
