Customer Feedback

Very good, very great input sessions. A thoroughly rewarding experience!!!
-Philip Dickie-


Intensive, stressful at times, but very rewarding!
-Claire Stephenson-

The course was very intensive which I was fully aware of before I started. Even though the workload was heavy I found the course very stimulating and engaging. I enjoyed the teaching practice. Overall a very positive experience.
-Catherine Anderson-

The school and the quality of trainers were to the highest of standards. They always had time to help us trainees when we needed it. The course was intensive, as it suggests, and it did not let up for the four weeks. The amount of work was however worth it, as I learned a lot about how to teach EFL, and has given me a real enthusiasm to go out and find work within the TEFL industry.
-Matthew Todd-

Teaching was first class and the level of support was excellent. I enjoyed the whole course, well worth the cost!
-Sue Badger-

I thoroughly enjoyed the course – it exceeded my expectations. The centre is very organised and the tutors are very well prepared. Thanks for everything.
