ATA vs. i-to-i

Looking for some views please.

I want to do the basic TESOL/TEFL certificate.

I would like to do the course in Brisbane before/around mid-year.

I have narrowed down my choices to:
1. ATA (www.ataonline.edu.au)
2. i-to-i (www.i-to-i.com)

Both look very good.

I have also looked at SEEK, and they seem pretty well organised.

Thoughts?

Feel free to send me a Private Message me as well.

Re: ATA vs. i-to-i

They are both very good. Seems you are planning on doing a classroom based course as opposed to online. If you want the option of building a career out of teaching, definitely opt for a classroom based course.

As you are Australian, I would lean towards ATA only becauase it's more recognised (by way of state recognition) in Australia compared to i-to-i.

Make sure the course suits your budget, hours you can spend studying AND your interests. Look at the modules to get an idea if you would enjoy the course content.

Cheers.
