CIEE 150-Hour TEFL Certificate

I took this course as a part of CIEE's Teach in South Korea program, and I'm so glad that I did! I went into the course with no experience or any idea of how to teach English, but now I feel well-equipped and ready to step into the classroom. The course content is well-structured and thorough, and I appreciate how they practiced what they preached to make the course engaging and effective. (However, like all other classes, how much you get out of it will depend on how much time and effort you're willing to put in. I was fortunate to have the time to dive into the material and engage with my classmates, so I enjoyed the course very much.)

I am also grateful for all the support CIEE provides to its students and alumni. For example, there is a practicum portion to the TEFL course. I was worried about how to complete the practicum when starting the course, but those worries were eased with CIEE's resources on how to find a teaching/volunteering opportunity, locations where past students have volunteered, how to reach out, etc. Students and alumni of this 150-hour course also have access to job placement assistance, which I'm excited to explore in the future.
