Customer Feedback
The school seemd to be a high-quality establishment and the trainers, one in particular, were very good at their job.
The course was fun and I learned so much over the four weeks.

Course Description
The course includes teaching practice, observation of experienced teachers in the classroom and completion of a range of practically focused written assignments.
You will receive training and support from fully qualified and experienced ELT professionals. You will also have access to library resources including professional books, publications, multimedia titles and Internet access.
You are assessed continuously during the course and there is no final examination. An external assessor, who is appointed by University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES) moderates each course.
There are three components of assessment: Teaching Practice, Written Assignments and Professional Development. The school will help you prepare thoroughly for each assessment.
Assessment of Teaching Practice: You will teach for a total of six hours, working with classes at two levels of ability. The assessment is based on your overall performance at the end of the six hours.
Written Assignments: There are four written assignments to complete. Two assignments explore aspects of teaching and learning English at an adult level, one involves work on the language system of English and one is a reflection on classroom teaching. Your written work is moderated by an external assessor appointed by UCLES.
Professional Development:
This is based on your overall performance and commitment during the course. We will provide you with regular feedback on your development throughout your training.
To be successful, you must pass all components. There are three grades - Pass, Pass 'B' and Pass 'A'.

Often we have a guest speaker who comes to talk about their company or college, their various locations and give some useful interview tips. Our tutors are always on hand to answer any questions you have, including advice on useful websites and the presentation of your C.V. We also have a jobs bulletin board with up to date information about teaching positions available throughout the world from various large, international colleges.
