TEFL Toulouse required a good amount of commitment to study and practice, as I believe all TEFL courses do at this high level of quality training. But I found it to be very enjoyable! Everyone in my group enjoyed it a lot! And the teachers were all really nice and very helpful. It was a fun course despite the high workload. I discovered that it's a brilliant way to teach people English. It's very effective! The students can learn very quickly with the TEFL teaching techniques. And I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed teaching. I can highly recommend it!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

How much I enjoyed teaching and how effective TEFL teaching is!

Pros

A very effective way to help people to learn English.
A way to work and live in France.
A way to improve one's understanding of the English language.

Cons

Accommodation near the school is expensive and can be hard to find.
Parking isn't available at the school.
It's a bit pricey for someone poor like myself. But I think it's probably no more expensive than other TEFL courses.

You never really know when booking a program across the other side of the world but rest assured, TEFL Toulouse is not only legit but I learned so much more than I thought I would. The course ROCKED! I particularly appreciated the clarity with which they showed us how to plan lessons, and the 6 teaching practices were extremely useful. I ended up doing 8 of them so I really got value for money. The grammar and phonology aspects were covered in depth, and so were the sessions on how to teach the 4 skills. We had champagne and dinner at the end - on the house!
I also really liked Toulouse - it's beautiful, laid back and a well kept secret - shhh! My accommodation was very cheap (450 euros for the whole month) and very close to the training centre. Don't hesitate guys, this course is the best!! Or as Jonathan would say "really rather good" :)

Pros

Very professional expert tutors and well designed course
City centre opposite the big park
Accommodation and Toulouse city

Cons

A bit of noise from traffic passing sometimes

TEFL Toulouse offers a unique and intensive course on teaching English. Being in contact with several different TEFL trainers (who are teachers themselves) I was able to learn many different techniques in teaching English. The course provides over 6 hours of teaching practice with different groups of students. After the four week course, I had the competence and skills necessary in teaching English of all levels. It was an overall great experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to become an English teacher.
