London College of Teachers, Trainers (LCT) Reviews 

Attended a five-days CP on child psychology from 4th May to 8th May. The tutor, Madam Doyel Bhattacharya is an authority on the subject, a good communicator and very much friendly, loving and caring. She led by example. I thoroughly enjoyed her sessions and appreciate the team behind the program who organized and managed it well.

The training for special needs education was so eye-opening . It has given me tips to help those children with a MLT or SLD and the resources are very relevant for my classroom

I purchased a "120 hour" TEFL certification from a South Korean company that ended up being offered by this "London College." The course was supposed to be "self-paced." The only way to pay was through Paypal (first red flag), and the payment went to an Indian name. I was contacted by a representative named "Tutorlct" who wrote in stereotypical Indian English, sent me some supporting documents and granted access to the first set of course materials, all of which had immediately noticeable errors and were of atrocious quality.

Their "120 hour course" has 9 modules each containing maybe 15 minutes worth of material, most of which could be easily copied from a Google search and was written in technically-correct but poor English. After 15 minutes and an "exam" I would wait a day for someone to give me access to the next module during Indian business hours. The English on their website is dubious as well (what does "not appeared" status mean???). They have a single module covering "English grammar." The course came with a signed letter with an incorrect starting date and a threat that exceeding the "course schedule" that was never discussed would "incur additional fees and penalties."

The many red flags prompted me to research this company much more deeply. Note that Trustpilot does not allow links in reviews, otherwise I would provide sources, but most of the information in this review you can verify yourself.

Searching the name on the Paypal account on Linkedin turned up a real account citing "London College of Teachers and Trainers" as their workplace and a few of their colleagues in Bangalore, not one of whom had background in education. LCTT's ties to "London" appear to begin and end with an 800 UK service number and an address in a building managed by a company called "My Virtual Office UK." Everything else about them is 100% Indian.

They claim on their (many) company websites a slew of "accreditations" that are really memberships of associations where you can pay to access training materials. Every single one of their "accreditations" are misrepresented or outright false.

QAHE is a "pay for membership" arrangement, but their certificates are from previous years.

IATEFL, based on the information on their own page, "The association does not accredit or attest to the value, merit or quality of any individual, course, qualification or organisation; including its individual, institutional and associate members;" further, they explicitly forbid usage of the logo and brand by members, and after a short email to their head office they confirmed that they will be taking legal action against "London College of Teachers" (another of this company's many names).

The "Chattered (sic) College of Teaching" is a professional association for professionals in the UK, LCTT cites a membership number but after a short email to the association they confirmed to me that they have no ties to this company and will be taking legal action over LCTT's claims of endorsement.

They claim they were voted the "Best Teacher Training Organization" by GoAbroad.com, and then cite their page on GoAbroad.com that shows they only got an "honorable mention" in 2020.

They have but a single course with OTHM approval, that you can very on OTHM's website; I would bet $100 it's not the course you bought from LCTT.

They say they're a member of the Quality Council of India, which again, is a membership NOT an accreditation, and not an endorsement, I don't care to follow up on this one but why don't you, the reader, write them a short email and see what they say?

Basically, this company is a scam, its "educational materials" are worthless and any certifications from them will 100% not be worth the paper they are printed on if your prospective employer decides to take 15 minutes to look into your certification. You might as well print your own certificate, put some Word Art, then look up the logos of some professional associations and paste them on top for the illusion of legitimacy for lazy employers; it will be just as good as being "certified by LCT" and you will save the hour or two it takes to go through their "120 hour" course.

I will add insult to injury; LCTT claims to offer discount prices, but if you were looking for a TEFL certification, go to tefl-dot-org to find a course that is actually accredited and recognized and is *cheaper* than this garbage Indian scam.

If you gave money to this company you got scammed. Time to call your bank.

They responded. Quite a few similar sites, built with the same tools, PO box and a service number in the UK, fake accreditations and endorsements from organizations that provide neither, impersonating a Canadian author when they can't write proper English on their site or in their response. Not a difficult judgement.

As a student of the TEFL/TESOL course offered by the London College of Teachers via their online learning management system (LMS), I can confidently say it was a rewarding and enriching experience. The course content was comprehensive, covering key topics such as lesson planning, grammar instruction, and teaching methodologies in depth. The online LMS provided a user-friendly platform for accessing course materials and submitting assignments . The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, offering valuable feedback and guidance throughout the course. Overall, the London College of Teachers' online TEFL/TESOL course exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to pursue a career in English language teaching.
