Customer Feedback
The Trinity CertTESOL course is an extremely intense, thorough and challenging course, with a huge amount to learn in only four weeks. However, I am delighted I chose both this course and this school, because now I have received my certificate I feel like I have been thoroughly prepared for a new career in teaching English as a second language. Further, the tutors were knowledgeable, patient and incredibly helpful, and the facilities in the school itself were excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend both the course and the school to anyone who wishes to make a new career for themselves in the field of English teaching.
Rodney Moffitt
An intensive course is never easy, but the trainers made a point of being available to help us and encourage us whenever we needed it. Moreover, the sense of camaraderie that developed between my peers and I created a strong bond, and my classmates became and have remained my good friends. Not only did the CertTESOL course provide me with the basis for a successful career, but it also opened the doors of the world to me by awarding me a certificate that is internationally recognized. For someone who loves to travel, that alone is priceless. Thanks to the CertTESOL, I have established strong professional ties and found good friends that I hope to keep for years to come.
