Customer Feedback

Great family atmosphere in the school. Vibrant. Each trainer was professional and really knew their stuff.
-Catherine Brant-

The school had excellent facilities (a good library and great computer facilities) and all the staff were very friendly. The trainers were great too - friendly and approachable and always ready to give constructive advice and guidance. The course was very well organised and there were some extremely useful input sessions.
-Fiona Freeman-

The school was a very open, honest friendly place. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the trainers were extremely helpful.
The course was very inspirational, motivating and enjoyable.
-Stacey Sheppard-

It was brilliant. The trainers were helpful and enthusiastic, must be hard for them to keep it fresh having a new course starting every month but they did a really good job. hard work but i enjoyed the work more than i thought i would.

Course Description

FFirst thing to know - this is NOT a certificate course. It really is just one day to find out if you might be cut out for Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). If you subsequently choose to apply for the Cambridge CELTA at the Bournemouth school, and you're accepted on a course, you will get £55 back.

Here is what will happen during the day:

9:00 - 9:30 - Ice Breakers & Warmers
Get to know each other by using some popular classroom activities. You will be able to use these activities in your own teaching later on in the day.

9:30 - 10.00 - Foreign Language Lesson
Put yourself in a student's shoes and learn useful teaching techniques.

10.00 - 10.30 - Classroom Management
Tips for surviving your first lesson: giving instructions, setting up class activities, getting students attention.

10.30 - 11.00 - Coffee Break!

11.00 - 11.45 - Language Awareness
Grammar is great! Find out about some of the basics of English.

11.45 - 12.30 - Lesson Planning
Preparation for your lesson! You'll get help and guidance to prepare to teach! The students are all adults and come from all over the world. We will have classes at different levels.

A well-earned break plus the chance to meet the students you'll be teaching!

Choosing the right teacher training centre for your professional development as an English language teacher is crucial. At our Bournemouth centre, you are assured of a warm welcome and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere to study in. The aim is to ensure that you as an individual are well looked after from the moment you arrive, and that everything is done to help you benefit from what we as a training centre have to offer. This human dimension plays a significant part in helping you to develop your skills as a teacher.

Staff are selected for their personal qualities as well as their academic qualifications and the wide variety of teaching experience in Britain and abroad. They are noted for their innovative approach to training and are encouraged to constantly update and improve their courses. Throughout your stay, you will receive guidance and support from your tutors, whose close attention will ensure that you derive the maximum benefit from your course.

The school is situated in Bournemouth, one of the most important TEFL centres in Britain. There are excellent links with local language schools and the centre is well placed to help our Certificate and Diploma-trained teachers to find positions in these schools as well as with schools elsewhere in Britain and overseas.

The school has all the facilities you would expect of a major training centre, including a multi-media centre with computers and AAC language laboratory units and a library where teachers can draw on materials to prepare their lessons under the supervision of the Resources Manager, who will give guidance and support.

The school principal is internationally renowned as a major coursebook writer and has published over a dozen volumes, mainly under the Longman and Heinemann imprints.
