About Me
Welcome to the TEFL Blacklist. And, yes - it's black! In fact, this blog is for all you angry EFL teachers out there - and I know there must be a good number of you! If you've suffered at the hands of a rogue employer, a dodgy DOS, or a pain-in-the-arse Principal, then this is your chance to get your own back. If you have a story to tell post it briefly in the section marked NOMINATE A SCHOOL FOR BLACKLISTING. There should be a hyperlink at the bottom of most posts. Add your comments to whichever thread you happen to want to add a contribution and then simply copy and then paste it in the section entitled "Chronological Postings" as well. Don't forget to add a note explaining where the original was posted. That way people can, if they choose, simply read all the postings made to all the threads in chronological order.

Chronological postings
In response to a request from the redoubtable Alex Case here is your opportunity to hit a double whammy (so to speak). Add your comments to whichever thread you happen to want to add a contribution and then simply copy and then paste it in the section marked "chronological postings" as well. Don't forget to add a note explaining where the original was posted. That way people can, if they choose, simply read all the postings made to all the threads in chronological order.

Hello Inspector Mchammered
Interesting blog, found while I was searching for a training centre.
Whilst you have merrily bashed several training facilities, you have recommended none. Are there no schools that make the grade?
I would love a nudge in the right direction so as not to waste my hard-earned pennies on shysters and thieves.
Thank you.
For a very good reason Toni Q. This is a blacklist and not a whitelist. I dealt with that very dilemma here teflblacklist.blogspot.com/2007/04/tefl-whitelist.html
In general ensure that your course lasts at least a month with plenty of teaching practice. Don't be fooled by "International House". Their London courses are good albeit expensive. Pilgrims in Canterbury used to be excellent but I heard that they had been bought by OISE.
Trinity or Cambridge approved is a positive sign. Google the hell out of your shortlist as the Internet often yields unexpected nuggets of information. Expect the course to be very hard. There are simply no shortcuts. The weekend or online courses might get you a job in Tibet but you won't learn anything much about TEFL.
It also depends where you want to take your course.
Just remember only a tiny % of all the language schools make it onto the TEFL Blacklist. There are plenty of good ones out there.
