Asian EFL Journal TESOL Certificate SCAM

[sageunicorn]

I'd like to warn everyone about Time Taylor International and the Asian EFL Journal.
These are sham organisations only out to take your money, and leave you with nothing.
Don't be fooled by the friendly advice provided on their website warning of scams. They are the scammers.

Last year I paid US$259 to enrol in a course for the Asian EFL Journal TESOL Certificate.
I was in occasional contact with the CEO "Dr." Paul Robertson up until I completed the certificate.
Then he completely cut off communication with me, with no alternate email or phone number to reach him.
That was 6 weeks ago, and despite my efforts, I haven't received any certificate nor any further contact since.

I'm bitterly disappointed about the money I've lost but much more so the effort I put into completing this certificate.
I know this company is running upcoming conferences in the Philippines, Turkey and India.
So, I'd urge everyone to avoid their online certificate and conferences to avoid sharing my resentment.

Hi,

I am from India, and I have undergone a similar program with Asian EFL Journal TESOL Certificate. It is surprising to note that you have not received because with the its been a reverse case.

Dr. Robertson has been not only helpful during the course but has been a guiding light even thereafter.

May I ask which country you belong to?

[TESOL]

I subscribed to this course.
Unfortunately, they didn't send the the whole course despite of repeated emails asking them for the missing modules.
They sent me the certificate with a wrong name on it despite me providing them with the proper name during the registration, and on their request.
They were supposed to send a new corrected certificate, which never happened.
And they have decided not to reply to my emails.
The members of the board of accreditation agency are the same person than those running TESOL Asia.
It is important to be noted that my certificate was not accepted by any employer due to the misspelling on my name on it, that didn't match my name on my passport.
This smells more than fishy and I would certainly NOT recommend this course to anyone serious about getting a TESOL certificate, it is a waste of time and money, no tot say a total rip off.
