Review

I took this course in October 2009 and it kick-started what has been an incredibly satisfying career in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. My first teaching job would have been much more difficult without the knowledge and skills I gained in this course. The instructors were very knowledgeable and supportive and the classes were very interactive. I made some great friends through the course and even met up with one classmate in Hanoi, Vietnam a couple of years ago.

Chania is a stunningly beautiful town and the island of Crete is one of my favorite places in the world. There are countless places to explore and the food is truly to die for. I'll never forget the meals and drinks looking out across the harbor and enjoying a dip in the sea after class. You couldn't ask for a better setting to take a TEFL course.

I can truly say that this course changed my life. While I knew I wanted to teach English, I had no real qualification or experience and having this certificate has opened up many job opportunities around the world. I have now taught in 5 countries across 3 continents and have currently moved into an administrative position at one of the top private schools in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I am preparing to get married and can't imagine leaving the field of education so yeah, this course was pretty important in determining the direction of my life.

I thought about leaving the US to teach for many years before I finally took the plunge and that was undoubtedly the best decision I've ever made. If you're considering this course, stop thinking and do it now!
