****mers!
1 star is too many! My bf and I sold and left everything in South Africa just to get to Thailand with NO GUARANTEED JOBS as promised. We stayed in a hotel for at least 10 days without any job opportunities or offers. I even app**** personally. The young lady working for them has probably never stepped foot outside of SA and has no clue about what life is like in Thailand. They have no contacts with any schools. They send your details to strangers who tell you about jobs that are posted on Facebook already. And then they ignore you. Ridiculous course that has no relevance in any teaching requirements.

TEFL on the beach
I had an amazing experience with TEFL on the beach! From the very beginning the team was incredibly supportive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.The course itself was well structured, engaging, and practical, equipping me with the skills and confidence to teach English effectively. If you're looking for a fun, professional, and life-changing TEFL certification course, I highly recommend - TEFL on the beach! Thank you Sam and the team. Kind regards S.Crocker

DON'T PAY THEM A CENT- YOU WONT GET WHAT WAS PROMISED!
Worse experience ever with TOTB. Save your hard earned money everyone. DON'T WASTE IT ON TOTB. I paid Sam thousands of rands to find me placement in Thailand. I gave them my preferences. The position was nothing that I'd expected, the school was terrible, the Thai agent was terrible and worse of all Sam became unavailable to assist once I arrived in Thailand. Once he has your money , he couldn't care less whether you're happy in the ****py position that he finds you or not. I had a call with him where he literally swore at me and hung up the phone. He will also gaslight you into thinking that you're being ungrateful for the ****py job he finds you (which will be nothing as per what was promised) Sam then proceeded to block me on FB to avoid me from sharing my honest review with everyone. That's typical behaviour of a ***** agency. Rude and disrespectful are two words I would use to describe Sam. I ended up returning to SA a month after arriving because the experience was so terrible. Legally, I will be taking this matter further to seek a refund. This agency should shut down.

SAM IS *****... DON'T PAY YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO TOTB
Worse experience ever with TOTB. Sam, the owner, will only be nice to you until he has your money. Thereafter the disrespect and negligence will begin. I paid them to find me a teaching post in Thailand. They found me a terrible low paying position at a terrible school with a terrible Thai agent(NOV 2023). Sam became unavailable for any assistance I needed once I arrived in Thailand. Fast forward to a month later(DEC 2023), I returned to SA defeated due to the bad experience and lack of support from TOTB. I had a call with SAM who literally swore at me and hung up the call. Such disrespect shouldn't be tolerated from a service provider. And the cherry on top is that Sam blocked me on FB to prevent me from sharing my review. Typical behaviour of a guilty person. Don't give your hard earned money to TOTB. Find a reputable agency who respects their clients and who can actually deliver on their promises. OH, and they have a habit of deleting the negative posts on their social media , ***** ***** *****! I'VE WASTED THOUSANDS OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY ON THESE LOWLIVES. Legally I'll be taking this matter further. (review by Cindy Phalla)

Ambiguous course - costs more to renew it than to initially start the course
Started the TEFL course in February (6 months completion time). Completed in time, yet I failed my last two assignments. So it has expired, but to renew the course, you can only renew for 4 months at a cost of R450, which actually costs more than the actual course to begin with. AND they would not extend it from the date I paid, no, no. They renewed it only from the end of August (I paid In October) because that was when my original course expired. Makes no sense, but ok. So I redo my assignments and guess what? Passed one, but failed the other. So now my course has expired again, so I must pay AGAIN R450 to renew it? Ridiculous. With the mock lesson, no actual guidelines are given of what is expected from you. Surely you would provide that information to your students so they know what to do? Absolutely ridiculous. I am done.

Worst service ever!!!!!
My wife and I longed for a better qualify life and future and we thought moving to Asia would help us to achieve. We were extremely excited. From day one we were transparent with Sam and made him aware of all of our plans. My mother in law, my wife and myself had all planned to emigrate to Asia to teach. My wife and I sold all of our belongings EVERYTHING. Sam assured us that by purchasing the orientation placement we would have a life time access to their services and access to jobs in Asia and GUARANTEED us that we would get jobs and they would find us accommodation within walking distance to the school. We needed a two bedroom. Sam told us they could get a house or apartment. Sadly we have recently returned to South Africa as we were left stranded without jobs and accommodation. We were sent from pillar to post and in the end because Sam could not provide us with jobs he asked us to communicate with a friend of his by the name of Ebrahim who requested that we each pay him R5000 to get a job. The agents Sam introduced us to were extremely rude, they had not found us any suitable accommodation, the jobs were were promised did not materialize. At one point Sam started calling my wife names and accused her of being petty because she did not want us to stay in a room with no windows which was the size of a storage unit. He told us to compromise. He also informed us that Thai people will fire you for asking questions and don't give a f&#k about our problems. He told my wife she was very close to having the door permanently closed to get a job. Ironic because none of us were employed. This along with other issues which will bring Tefl on the beach under we recommend not using their services. We are going to be taking legal action. We networked with people in Asia and SA and he has many disgruntled clients....

Worst service, should not be in operation
My wife and I longed for a better qualify life and future and we thought moving to Asia would help us to achieve. We were extremely excited.
