"I would recommend the TEFL/TESL/CCA Certificate Program because of the director's involvement and ethical awareness of what real TESL teaching is in today's changing social conditions.  The course was personalized and realistic based on the trainer's 'hands-on' experience.  The written materials were excellent and concise."

Many thanks,

"The experience and professionalism of the teacher trainers really blew me away. They had so much advice, tips and tricks to give. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to become a creative, interesting, and thought-provoking teacher.

"Taking the TEFL/TESL/CCA™ course was one of the most fulfilling experiences in my career as a teacher (a fifteen year old one!). The instructors provided us with fresh -and at the same time, sophisticated- methodologies, while the classes itselves were a demonstration of the use of such ideas and philosophies. Plus, I shared interesting cultural experiences and teaching perspectives with a very diverse group of people."

"I would say the course marked a transition in my career. I am now an experienced teacher with the rejuvenation and the energy of a new one!"

Mónica Díaz
Ecuador



"I have taught for many years, but even so I feel that I have found this course very practical and useful for my classes. Regardless of how much experience a teacher may have, it's never too late to learn something new."

Anabella Patiño

February 2008c"The course trainers were full of good energy and the classes were developed in a confident ambiance, everybody felt free to share their teaching experience as well as their methodologic doubts. The TEFL/TESL/CCA™ Certificate Program creates the appropriate ambiance to share teaching experiences from trainers and colleagues, in a cross-cultural basis, which makes it more valuable."

"There was a very good library we had access to. I have some books and manuals from the course as a basic reference for preparing my classes."

"Since I have taken the course I have acquired a wider vision of teaching, I feel more confident about what I do in my classes. The TEFL/TESL/CCA™ Certificate Program and its trainers have helped me to be more confident in my classes. I really enjoy them! I really recommend it to other teachers..."
