Getting certified has changed my life. I'm in my forties and life is just beginning, again. Being a photographer I knew this would be the prefect time to capture the culture, foods, and everyday living. Had an amazing opportunity to take over20, 000 photo in one year while in Vietnam. Also becoming certified allowed me to be gainfully employed.I recommend this to many people and stand behind the programs offered. Tefl is awesome! Highly recommend this to anyone who would love to travel and see the world.
