Lisa Lanson, 2006
'I took the 80 hour course last summer. I did the weekend course in Edinburgh, started the online course while I was living in London and ended up finishing it while teaching in Mexico. Taking a TEFL course has completely changed my life.'
Fraser Comrie, 2007
'It was a highly effective introduction to the nuts and bolts of teaching which provided a valuable foundation for starting out. In particular it was possible to develop new skills and build confidence in their execution.'Colin Davis, 2007
'I liked being introduced to a concept (grammar/vocab) without realizing I was being 'taught' it. I also enjoyed the interactive nature of the course. Our tutor was very knowledgeable. She encouraged our questions and had a laid back approach.'Tara Demers, 2006
