Taking the TESOL course from IOA
Taking the TESOL course from International Open Academy (IOA) was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. This course gave me a solid foundation in teaching English as a second language and equipped me with practical strategies, teaching methodologies, and the confidence I needed to step into the classroom as a professional.
What made the experience even more meaningful was how I discovered IOA. I was introduced to this trusted learning platform through Nova English Center in Bien Hoa, Vietnam. Thanks to their guidance and support, I was able to access a reputable and affordable TESOL program that fit perfectly with my learning goals and schedule.
The course content was clear, well-structured, and engaging — perfect for both beginners and those with some teaching experience. It not only taught me how to manage a classroom and create effective lesson plans, but also deepened my understanding of language acquisition and student motivation.
Today, I am proud to say that I am a certified English teacher — confident, capable, and passionate about helping others learn. I highly recommend the IOA TESOL course to anyone who wants to start their teaching journey. And a big thank you to Nova English Center for connecting me to such a valuable opportunity!

paying for certificate
I did the tefl course on here with a creator link I found on youtube. The creator mentioned that they send you the pdf certificate for free after you complete the course that you can use for applications.
But when I completed mine, I did not get a single pdf. The course purchase does not specify that the digital certificate is not included. After finishing the course, I now have to pay 33$ for a digital certificate. What's the point of buying a course when I can't even redeem a single certificate or proof of completion. It makes no sense because with the course quality, which has no videos or any other materials, you're paying all that money for nothing tbh. Not a single piece of usable documentation at all!

Hi Sisasenkosi,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry for the confusion caused.
At times, we’ve included certificates in specific promotions, but these offers do change. It sounds like the YouTube video you used may contain outdated information—while the coupon may still be valid, the details of the offer might no longer apply. We always recommend that resellers and content creators keep their information updated, but unfortunately, we can’t guarantee the accuracy of third-party materials.
We also want to clarify that our Help Center and Terms of Use clearly state that certificates are optional extras, not included by default with course purchases.
We couldn't locate any contact from you in our system, and this issue could likely have been resolved quickly if you'd reached out to our support team. To assist you now, we've sent a request via the Trustpilot platform to get your contact information. Alternatively, you can email us directly at support@internationalopenacademy.com—we’re happy to help.

My TESOL Journey
The TESOL online course provided a solid foundation for teaching English as a second language. The course was well-structured into clear modules, which made it easy to follow and stay on track. Each module built on the previous one, offering a gradual and manageable learning experience. The flexibility of the online format allowed me to study at my own pace, which was ideal for my schedule. Overall, this TESOL course delivered strong foundational knowledge in a flexible and organized way. I now feel more prepared to start my teaching journey and would recommend the course to others looking for an accessible introduction to teaching English.

The wedding planner course is a JOKE
The wedding planner course is a complete JOKE!
It feels like it was created 30 years ago and puts literally emphasis on HOW TO PUT ON MAKEUP vs. how you actually organize a wedding. This is not state-of-the-art nor an actual guide to anything a wedding planner needs to know and put emphasis on as you start a business or a new career path.
I am from the event business, I have been working in marketing for 10 years and have organized a lot of events including personal ones, also my own wedding. The course content is not in the slightest important to what you actually have to deal with in those situations.
I wanted to take this course to deepen my knowledge and specify more on wedding planning as I am considering switching my career a bit more in that direction. Of course I also wanted to receive a certificate in the end to "proof" my proficiency. - But I didn't mean to just "buy" something to have it, I actually wanted to LEARN something of value. I am embarrassed to count this certificate as anything that would reference my expertise.
Such a complete waste of money, that I should rather have invested into a 3x more expensive course but that would have probably had actual proper content...
A shame you offer this course for money in return.
Hope this feedback doesn't make you scam 100s of other people in the future still.

Hi Sarah,
We're sorry to hear that the course did not meet your expectations and would like to offer some clarification.
We’d like to clarify that the course was not created arbitrarily nor intended to be a “joke.” It was developed by experienced professionals in event planning and styling, including:
-Ángeles Castro – stylist, designer, and event organizer with 15+ years of experience
-Ángela Suau – historian, personal shopper, and protocol expert with 8+ years of experience
-Gina Tous – event planner, cultural producer, and specialist in digital cultural marketing
These experts have worked with reputable institutions such as the Ministry of Development, Fnac, Mini, and the Community of Madrid. The course provides a practical introduction to wedding planning, aimed at individuals exploring a new career path, setting up a business, or organizing weddings for friends and family.
We also want to highlight that the course description on our product page clearly states that this is an introductory-level course intended to provide "an excellent grounding in all aspects of planning a wedding celebration." It’s especially useful for those just starting out or wanting to gain foundational knowledge in the field. For more advanced learners, it’s understandable that you may be seeking more specialized or hands-on content.
In regard to certification, we offer several certification options depending on the student's goals. These are available for purchase after course completion and include documents from recognized partners such as:
-CPD (UK)
-ICOES (International Council for Online Educational Standards)
-IAPCC (International Association of Private Career Colleges)
We want to respectfully address your use of the term “scam.” International Open Academy is an accredited and transparent education provider, with over 1,200 verified Trustpilot reviews — more than 77% of which are 5-star ratings. All of our course details, pricing, and certificate policies are clearly explained on our website, and our support team is always available to answer questions before a purchase is made.
We’ve also received your email and our support team will be reaching out to you shortly to offer a resolution. If you have any additional questions or prefer to connect sooner, please contact us directly at: https://international-open-academy.reamaze.com/conversations/new

120-Hour TEFL Certificate
120-Hour TEFL Certificate - I purchased this course, and despite the (misleading) title, they Don't actually issue a certificate. I should have checked first the reviews, this website/Academy is an OBVIOUS SCAM. They will actually charge you 2x or 3x the price of the course if you want the certificate, on top of the enrollment fee you have paid. They don't tell you that at the begining, you'll just have to realise it when you finish the course that they don't issue ANY certificate (again, despite the clear advertising in the title).

Hi Viorel,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few things for anyone reading this.
After reviewing your account, we can confirm that your specific offer (purchased through one of our partners) did include a digital Certificate of Achievement. However, unlike the Proof of Completion which is generated automatically, the certificate requires a quick redemption process — similar to how the course was initially activated. Once this step is completed, the certificate becomes available for download. In your case, this document is now accessible from the “My Documents” section in your account.
We understand it can be confusing when expectations don’t match up with the fine details of a deal. That’s why our support team is always available — before or after purchase — to clarify what’s included, explain our accreditation, and walk you through any document requests. We encourage students to reach out with any doubts, especially since offer details may vary depending on the platform or promotion.
While a small percentage of students leave critical reviews, over 77% of our 1,200+ Trustpilot reviews are 5-star ratings, often highlighting the quality of our support and learning experience. Most concerns stem from misunderstandings rather than the actual service or value provided.
If you have any further questions or would like to explore optional upgrades like hard copy certificates, please don’t hesitate to reach out via our contact page: https://international-open-academy.reamaze.com/conversations/new. We’re here to help and genuinely want you to get the most from your course.

I'm still confused... but very helpful Customer Service Agent
After taking this course a few years ago and receiving a certificate without an additional fee. I gifted the course to a friend. She finished it and surprise... Now, they say there is no certificate included. This is deceptive. They claim that it's written all over their website, but any sane person would assume that a course that I paid for would come with some kind of proof of completion without an additional fee. Why would anyone take a course just because and have no proof of completion at the end? It doesn't matter how many times you put it in your terms and conditions or on your website, no logical person would purchase a course knowing that the certification isn't included. The lack of a certification is not mentioned at all on the groupon deal. It says it includes the course, lesson plans & more. Again another deceptive way to make you think you're getting something you actually aren't.
Update: After posting the above review, they contacted me within a short period and provided a digital Certificate of Achievement. The customer service agent who worked with me was very knowledgeable and actually seemed to have read the review and understood the situation.
I'd still say be careful what you buy. Make sure it's clear from the beginning what you will receive. While messaging back and forth, I was a little confused whether my original purchase should have included the certificate or if they were only providing it because I complained publicly. They say below that a certificate of completion is included, but before I complained, even that was locked behind a paywall. We had already tried to message within their website to no avail. Either way, I appreciated that they did reach out to resolve the situation.

Thank you for updating your review, Tyler.
As mentioned in our email communication, the original Groupon offer included a Proof of Completion, which is a different document from the document we later provided as a courtesy—since the original document hadn’t yet been downloaded.
The Proof of Completion was always available to download once the course was completed, and we’ve emailed your friend with clear instructions on how to access it. We also want to emphasize that the documents are not the same, and we offered a solution to better match her needs in this case.
Our support team is always happy to answer any questions about what’s included in an offer before a purchase is made, and we encourage students to reach out so we can help clarify and avoid confusion.
