Program Reviews

I am a Training Team Manager for a company in India and I found the course absolutely fantastic and truly worthwhile. The course gives you an opportunity to relearn and exercise the English language like the way it has never been done before. This is truly for someone who loves the language and would like to impart the knowledge gained in an effective manner and in any part of the world. I'm extremely proud to say that I was trained by the best. Chris, who has more than 20 years of experience in teaching is absolutely one of a kind. His immense knowledge, understanding, patience and exceptional method of training is what makes the course so invaluable and wonderful. Kevin is the best job coach that you could ever find (has a world of language and travel knowledge up his sleeve) and Ryan, is a superb language trainer (I still can't believe how I can now speak basic Thai). These are not just world class trainers but mentors for life. I've had an amazing experience with Vantage TEFL and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who has a passion to learn the language thoroughly, excel in their methods and travel to impart your language skill.

I finished my certification in 2016 and have to say it was a great experience. My concern in getting a certificate was that I really wanted a challenging program that gave me the skills and knowledge to become successful in the classroom, not just get a teaching certificate.

The training was excellent and provided me with feedback and ongoing training to understand what I needed to do to improve and to create effective lesson plans that would be successful in the classroom.

The lead trainer, Chris, was very inspirational and drew upon his 20+ years as an English teacher and materials and curriculum development background and forced me to dig inside myself to bring out my best.

Equally important was the camaraderie we had in our class. We were not only learning but having fun at the same time. This made for a very close group of students and we spent time together outside of our classes. This was a great support – and peer feedback in the class – while taking this intensive, month-long program.

After finishing my certification I found work pretty quickly. My Vantage TEFL Certification bumped my pay up to a level that will pay for the entire course fees in less than one year.

I also got excellent help and support the job front. The had a separate trainer – a guy who’s work as an English teach, an oilman and a banker – show us how to craft a resume that really brings out our skill sets and make a strong impact within seconds. He did special sessions on interview coaching and I learned techniques for showcasing my skills and how to handle objections.

I would recommend Vantage without hesitation. Everyone was very nice and service-minded as well. There’s no doubt I got a world-class teaching training program in an amazing location.
