I would like to know where English teachers in Vietnam obtained their TEFL, and your opinion of the quality, and value of the course. Was the course you chose, worth the cost? How long did it take you to complete the course? Do you feel you learned valuable information which will help you become a good English teacher? Do you believe the name of the TEFL company from which you obtained the certification, is recognized by most schools in Vietnam?
I'm trying to choose an online TEFL certification course, and finding valuable information on the internet for this is the most frustrating research I've ever been through. I'm finding nothing but marketing hype. It seems impossible to find a genuine review on anything. Some sites are nothing more than an attempt to con the reader into believing it's an honest review from someone trying to help people find a good TEFL course, but in reality, it's a poor attempt to trick you into something which will earn money for the reviewer.
I want to complete a quality course without overpaying. I don't want to buy a certification. I want to actually learn useful teaching skills. Please tell me your opinions of the course you've completed.
