My experience in the 120-Hour TESOL Course!
I enrolled in the 120 Hour TESOL Course and I enjoyed the time I spent while reading, analyzing, and meditating the information provided on it. In addition, since my passion is teaching, I know that having successfully completed this course will help me getting more job opportunities in the education field. (I can't wait any longer)
On the other hand, something that I really liked from International Open Academy, it was how reachable, professional and understanding the people of the Support Team were when clarifying information to me. I had the best experience here, and there is no doubt that I will enroll in another course very soon!

Misleading TESOL certification – has put my job offer at risk
I enrolled in the TESOL course with International Open Academy believing it would help me take the next step in my teaching career. However, I’ve discovered that the certification they offer is essentially meaningless when it comes to real-world recognition.
The TESOL certificate is “accredited” by ICOES and COES, which sound legitimate, but hold no official weight when trying to validate or legalize documents for international work purposes. I needed this certification to be authenticated and legalized (apostilled) in order to work in China as an English teacher. Unfortunately, I learned too late that this course and its so-called accreditation bodies are not recognized by government institutions — and that has now seriously jeopardized a job offer I had in hand.
This is incredibly frustrating. International Open Academy could have provided genuine guidance, stronger institutional ties, or real accreditation paths — but instead, what they offer is a surface-level product dressed up with flashy claims. There's no proper support or accountability from their side or from ICOES. No one is responding with clear answers.
I am therefore requesting a full refund for the amount paid, and I will also be writing directly to both IOA and ICOES to formally request this. If this is not resolved, I will be pursuing further action.
I do not recommend this course to anyone who needs an officially recognized teaching qualification.

Antwoord van International Open Academy
Hi Massimo,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear about the frustration this situation has caused. We understand how important it is for certifications to meet specific international requirements, especially when tied to a job opportunity abroad.
To clarify, International Open Academy provides online training and certification for professional development, and our TESOL course is accredited by ICOES, a private accrediting body. While ICOES certificates can be notarized and apostilled in certain cases, they are not issued by a governmental institution, which means embassies or consulates may not always accept them for legalization. We always recommend that students confirm local requirements with the relevant authorities before purchasing additional documentation.
In your case, we did provide detailed guidance regarding the limitations of apostille services and the nature of ICOES accreditation before your purchase. Despite this, we understand you chose to proceed with ordering the ICOES hard copy certificate, which has already been delivered. Since this document was issued and fulfilled directly by ICOES, any refund request would need to be addressed with them.
We’re genuinely sorry that the course didn’t meet your expectations in this context. If there’s anything else we can do to support you or clarify further, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Wishing you all the best, International Open Academy Team

Certified and Inspired: My IOA TEFL Experience
1. The company ensured that I did not miss out on this course even when there was a serious mixup in my payment details.
2. The customer service were excellent as they proved to be reliable, approachable, prompt and outstandingly helpful every inch of the way.
3. The company did so well in separating the study from the exam, creating no room for cheating, at least to the best of their ability.
4. The courses are standard as they were able to provide learners with the right exposure to relevant details of the curriculum and the job demands.
5. In terms of pricing, both the course and the certificate are affordable relatively.
6. The tutors are great, warm, cheerful and highly professional in their delivery. They ensured learners are equipped with the basics of ESL teaching.
7. In all, it was such a wonderful experience and I look forward to coming back. Until then, I promise to recommend this company to anyone, anytime, any day.
Thank you.

IOA CERTIFICATES
I believe that the International Open Academy (IOA) has significantly contributed to my professional development as a teacher. The courses offered are not only informative but also engaging, especially thanks to the use of visuals and video materials that make the learning process much more effective and enjoyable. These multimedia elements helped me grasp the concepts more clearly and retain the information better. As a result, I feel more confident and well-equipped in my teaching practices, and I am now able to apply what I've learned in more practical and impactful ways in the classroom.

I do not recommend the Face Painting Course
I took the Face Painting Course and cannnot recommend it to anyone. Multiple errors, spelling mistakes, audio issues in the video sections.
I did reach out to the customer service and was offered a fre course to make up for this. Customer service was quick to get back to me and professional.
Please bear in mind that not all of their courses include a certificate.

Hi Rebecca, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m really sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the Face Painting course.
Regarding your concern about the certificate: the inclusion of a certificate of achievement depends on the specific deal purchased. As a general rule, our courses do not automatically include a certificate, and it is offered as an optional add-on. However, certain promotional offers or bundle deals may include the certificate at no extra cost. We always recommend checking the terms of the deal at the time of purchase, and if there’s ever any uncertainty, our support team is here to help clarify.
That said, I’d really encourage you to reach out to our support team directly so we can take a closer look at your enrollment and resolve any outstanding questions or concerns about your course and certificate. We genuinely want to improve our service and would love the opportunity to make this right for you.
Thanks again for your feedback—we’re listening and working on improvements.
Warm regards, International Open Academy Team
