I paid in full for a Cambodia TEFL internship through i-to-i TEFL, expecting the experience they advertised — guaranteed job placement, up to $1,800/month salary, and full support. Unfortunately, the reality was very different.

Only after I paid was I informed that:

Job placement wasn’t guaranteed — they only organize three interviews, with no refund if none result in a job.

Salary depends on holding a degree, which I do not have — something never mentioned before payment.

I would have to pay for visa runs to another country (including flights and accommodation), again never disclosed up front.

When I raised these concerns, I was met with dismissive replies and threats of debt collection, despite never having accessed or used the service. The fine-print terms were only sent to me weeks after payment, well beyond their supposed 14-day cancellation window, which was never clearly presented at checkout.

I’ve since reported this experience to:

Citizens Advice UK (Ref: 672904)

Trading Standards

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for misleading advertising

And lodged a chargeback with my bank

I strongly caution anyone considering this company to read everything extremely carefully, and don’t assume the glossy marketing matches the reality.

Course content was okay. My first instructor- Georgina wasn’t helpful in her feedback and gave her minimum as if she was doing me a favor. My second instructor- Francesca was amazing. The worst though is the customer service. I had a terrible time with them and had to email and chat with them again and again to correct errors in my letter of completion or even to get my certificate. Selena in customer care was the only helpful person who actually helped me when I needed it the most. I would recommend I to I but only if you’re willing to go through hoops with customer care.

The best thing for the course is the materials I had trouble with getting feedback as they only give feedback once a week

Having said that I failed my course and decided to go with another accredited school online and successfully passed

However the material that I have received from itori was excellent and very very helpful

It’s downloadable printable so I can just print what I need to teach during that specific lesson

*AFTER SALES SERVICE APPALLING

*ONE NEVER GETS A PASS MARK DUE TO SOME TINY ERROR OR YOUR ASSIGNMENT GETS DELETED OFF THE SYSTEM

*EVEN A CHEAPER TEFL COURSE WOULD BE A SAFER OPTION

*UNSCRUPULOUS INSTITUITION THAT HONESTLY SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

While the course content is ok. The I-to-I company is terrible.

I was constantly let down. Fist my purchase of the course was ‘lost’ so I couldn’t work on the course for 5 months. This ended with me having to buy an extension to have time to complete it. Then I tried to hand in my assessment, it got lost, my course expired and I had to buy another extension. Then I was so tired of waiting I tried to purchase a fast track marking for the assessment, even though I was charged it didn’t work. Through all of these system errors, customer service was no help, they were rude and only suggested paying more money. Honestly shocking experience.
