Customer Feedback

The trainers were both superb. They had infinite amounts of patience and were always helpful and approachable. They have also been brilliant since finishing the course as they have both been willing to act as referees for me which has been instrumental in me getting my first teaching job in China (which I'm due to start in 4-6 weeks time.) Can't say enough good things about them as they were great role models and wonderful trainers.

Calling the course intense doen't quite cover it. I doubt I've ever had to work harder.By the end of four weeks I was becoming used to getting by on less than 5 hours sleep a night, but it was also one of the most rewarding things I've done.

Calgary
Nestled between the Rocky Mountains to the west and the Prairies to the east, Calgary is the heart of the Canadian West, rooted in the rich western heritage and pioneering traditions of its early settlers. It’s also a safe and modern city that offers the best of both worlds: a cosmopolitan centre of one million people and wonderful outdoor adventure in stunning wilderness. Within the city itself are world class sporting venues, a legacy of the 1998 Winter Olympics, while literally on its doorstep are some of Canada’s most beautiful Provincial and National Parks, a dream world for any outdoor enthusiast. But it’s so often the people who make a place, and in Calgary you’ll be made to feel at home by its warm and friendly locals. This is true Canadian hospitality with a pinch of the old west.
