I had no idea what to expect taking this course, knowing only that I wanted to make a career change into teaching English to speakers of other languages. I had heard that the Trinity CertTESOL course was very challenging, so I had some doubts about my ability to complete it. But from the very first lesson on, I knew I was in excellent hands.
The course was very well run, especially for such for a fast-moving and intensive course (I completed the 4-week option). The trainers were exceptional - both were very experienced and passionate about the material, and incredibly committed to student success. The campus was very centrally located, with well equipped facilities, supportive staff and a genuine atmosphere of learning that really contributed to the experience of the course.
Looking back, I can unreservedly say that it's been an incredibly rewarding experience both professionally and personally, and immediately led to employment opportunities upon its completion. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering getting certified as a teacher of English to speakers of other languages.
What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My most nerve-racking moment was the very first day of the course, when I was told that I would have to teach that very day, despite never having taught before! However, the course was very well structured in that there were plenty of scheduled teaching practices that allowed you to gradually build your confidence and skill level up.
