Feedback from previous ITTO students:
 
"I travelled from Australia to Mexico to do the ITTO course. It was intense and professionally run and organised. They are a very reputable outfit and live up to their promises. Angelina is a really genuine and kind administrator who will make you feel welcome.

After the course I worked in Mexico, then in the UAE and now in Turkey. The course gave me everything I needed to feel confident about teaching ESL. It made a big difference to my ability and my confidence as a teacher.

The most highly paid jobs are in Saudi and the Middle East. The next most highly paid jobs are in Korea or Japan maybe.

I am 54 and was one of the oldest in the class. It made no difference whatsoever. The other students were really friendly and I still have contact with several of them.

Go for it and enjoy Guadalajara and get the piece of paper. The ITTO certificate has never been questioned by an employer. It fulfils all the requirements an employer wants."
Good Luck,
