Before signing up for the i to i course I looked at other possible courses available that would suit my needs and fit in with my schedule. Having decided that this was the way to go it was six months before I officially signed up for the 140 hr course, which to my surprise at the time, the course had been revamped, I was a little skeptical at first, particularly as this was an on line course and wondered if it would still meet my needs. I rang the i to i office in the UK (using the 1300 number so only a local call if it was going to be charged to me). I spoke to a customer representative who was very helpful and whom had already completed the course so was able to provided me with all the detail I needed to make my decision. If you are unsure about the course suggest you do the same, The i to i customer service are very professional and gave me confidence about my investment into this course.
For my part in order to give the course a fair go, I took three weeks of work to complete the course on line, I scheduled my time so I could have some relaxing time too, went for a bike ride or a walk each day. Hours per day varied depending on which part of the course I was in. I found the units were in suitable chucks to have a break between. Having the online self assessment with a required 80% pass before being allowed to attempt the major assignment is a great idea as it does allow you to review the course content and highlight some points that you had not picked up on the way through.
Being only able to have three attempts at the major assignment in my mind provides Credibility to the course. It’s worth spending some time on these major tasks as you can use the material later in your resume and some of the material can also be used in perpetration when you start to teach.
At the end of the day what you get out of the course depends on what you put in.
I found the course content to be very up to date and relevant in a practical sense. There are units on how to find a job and one about culture differences these were added bonus as far as I was concerned and provided that little extra , real value for money. All assessments were marked within a 24 hr period of sending them off to be marked and came back with quality feedback.
The face to face is 20hrs and its an intro to teaching giving you the opportunity to try things out in a guided situation. Its fun and enjoyable, the others in the group having the same goal in mind add tremendous overall value. The tutors have a vast experience in this area again this provides value for money.
If this course aligns with your required outcomes, then this is the course for you. That said there is lots of take always regardless of your purpose for undertaking this course. I have found there are many ways that you may use the take always and experience gained. I have had three job offers already and have negotiated to take up one in 2016. In the mean time I now undertaken the business unit and started to put this to use already I have started a small business teaching overseas students with some English how to operate in a restaurant and add value to the customer service they provide. Its working out very well at this time, I been able to use the skills that I have pick up throughout the course to enhance my ability to deliver this type of course. I have also have some other ideas that I am exploring as a result. The point is that the skills from this course are adaptable to many other things in life and give you plenty of flexibility to various pathways. Recommend highly the i to I course, but make sure you are motivated so you maximize the outcomes for your self. My Thanks to the i to i team keep up the good work.
