i-to-i TEFL 37% off code and freebie course!

gregdedman

Hi everyone,

I know this is maybe not for everyone but if your interested in TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) abroad, then these codes will no doubt come in handy.

i-to-i offer possibly the most thorough and accredited TEFL courses out there and their service is second to none. They offer several options to suit different budgets but with these codes you can afford the next course up and improve your chances of finding paid teaching work all over the world.

Heres their site; https://www.onlinetefl.com/weekend-tefl/index.html

As youll see, until the end of January they have 15% off but if you enter the following code youll get a massive 36.71% off any course!!

The code is: tefl250

Heres a pice list of their courses and savings with this code.

20 hour - £215 - with code = £136.07
40 hour - £250 - with code = £158.23
80 hour - £395 - with code = £250
100 hour - £495 - with code = £313.29

I found an extra bonus too. When you sign up for one of the courses, making sure you enter tefl250 into the right hand side promo code box, look out for the comment box when filling out your details.

In this box, you can type a code that gives you a free extra module that usually costs £40!!

These codes i got from trying their TEFL taster here;
https://www.onlinetefl.com/about-tefl/tefl-trial.html

Heres a list of the codes for the extra modules.

• TTKFREE - Teaching Young Learners
• TBEFREE - Teaching Business English
• TLRFREE - Teaching with Limited Resources
• TLCFREE - Teaching Large Classes
• TOOFREE - Teaching One to One
• TAVFREE - Teaching with Audio & Video

So, all in all a flaming good deal.
Today i booked myself up and got the 40 hour course, with 36.71% off PLUS a free £40 Teaching with limited resources.

Saving a total of £132

I hope this helps some people realise their dreams.

I think you also get a bonus module free if you refer a friend, this is probably not the right forum for that but itd be great if you do decide to sign up, that you give me your name and email and get me the referal bonus.

Good luck!

Thanks for that info- I'm looking to start the i-to-i on-line course in March when I reduce my hours to work part-time. Do you know how long the codes are valid for? So what are your plans when you get your TEFL certificate?

Also I was wondering if anyone knew anyone who taught TEFL abroad as a single parent... I really really want to do this but as a single parent I am anxious about accommodation and schooling for my son.

hello, dont want to be a killjoy but i wouldnt recommend these types of tefl courses, and i definitely wouldnt recommend them if you want to teach abroad with a child. the types of institutions that would hire with a certificate from this place would not be reputable (there are thousands of shoddy language schools around the world), which is fine for the uk, but if you need a guaranteed income abroad, its not so good.

take my advice, save up a bit more money and do a celta. dont waste your money.

I agree with what your saying, my daughter did a celta course , took her nearly 12months i think,after she finished uni.Her friend did the tefl one, in a weekend!
My daughter taught for 12 month in South Korea, she`s now teaching in Germany.
Her friend is limited with what she can apply for, her last job was teaching in Bolivia with no back up etc, luckily she did`nt need it but its just as well.
What i`m saying is the better jobs are usually given to people who have done the celta course.
Also my daughter had to have crb checks for the jobs she did with children, her friend did`nt , also my daughter did apply for jobs in Japan but was put off because of the way the company was run concerning her employment.

If you wanted to teach English in Japan, most will take you without any type of course. I did it for a year, earned about 20k and had a brill time.

Plus, since then, the yen is now worth double what it was against the pound, so you will be absolutely quids in if you wanted to bring money back to the UK.

I would not recommend the TEFL either, nothing compared to certified Celta or Trinity TESOL.

In regards i-to-i, it has been a longstanding bug of many trainees that their course is badly designed, but good luck

i did the trinity TESOL course and it helped me to find work,
however,
I would not advise above certificate ( i to i ) if you want a serious career in teaching English as a foreign/second language, but only if you want to teach as a means to an end, ie earn megabucks abroad and/or travel.

but good luck, it is well worth doing if you like adventure.

Thank you very much to everyone for their advice- it is greatly appreciated.

I think I will do the Celta course as the job prospects are better.

'Goingtothedogs'- regarding your reply- did you seek teaching work independently or did you find work through an agency? I wouldn't mind getting teaching experience first and then undertaking the Celta course.

I would also be grateful if anyone knows any single parents who have taught English abroad and their experiences- and how their children got on.

Thanks

I signed up with Nova, a Japanese chain of English schools; the interviews all take place in London. Nova has actually since gone bust, but there are plenty of others that do the same thing:

All these language school chains will interview you in the UK and set you up with an apartment etc. They will want you to do a year's contract (you don't have to, but I would pretend you want to in the interview). I think due to Japanese visa regulations, you need to have a degree to be a full-time teacher, but not for part-time.
