Oxford Seminars.
Oxford Seminars review, submitted by Sarah.
My 100-hour (certification with job placement) online/onsite hybrid course with Oxford Seminars was actually very enjoyable and I honestly felt it was one of the best learning experiences I have ever had. The trainers were amazing and the online course sections were very compelling. The price (US$1,195) was pretty acceptable too. Looking back, what I most remembered fondly was the college campus atmosphere and I really think this atmosphere contributed to a general sense that this was a high-quality course run by highly experienced trainers.
What a horrible shame it was then when this impression was abruptly shattered once the course was over and I contacted the school admin for details of job placement. When I originally signed up for the course it was made certain and clear that my wish was to teach in Europe and Oxford Seminars admin confirmed this was no problem. Instead, I was offered work in China and when I (politely) turned the offer down, no other offers came.
This is a company with awesome trainers and teaching staff but be aware that the management just doesn’t seem to care.

The website says that to teach in some countries, candidates must possess a valid EU passport and/or a university degree. This is even in the Oxford Seminars terms and conditions and is really common knowledge in the ESL industry.
Thanks very much for your comment Joe. Excellent advice!
