Greak Kickstart to a TEFL Career / Training Made Simple

2017 Update:

The 3 week course in Krabi was fantastic. We all met before hand in the recommended hostel so i was able to talk to some of the people on my course and get to know them a little. I was nervous about doing the course in such a hot country with complete strangers but we were all in the same boat and the trainers knew how we would feel. They did everything to help and make us feel secure. I was equipped with a lot of cultural information as well as teaching techniques that I simply didn't get from the online TEFL I had done previously. Overall I would recommend this to anyone wanting to make a change and do something worthwhile.

2014 Review:

I did an online TEFL PRIOR to doing this one and felt so confused as most of it was just multiple choice answers and i scraped by with a pass. The material was boring, I had no one to talk to for support or and peers to discuss things with BUT i was officially qualified. Great....but I had no confidence to be able to teach anyone anything to do with English especially in a paid school environment.
I saw TEFL Heaven Internship advertised online and was skeptical about paying money to do a course i had already done, however after researching it (The main guys who run this are on Facebook, its all openly there to see - no hiding or scams) I decided to do it. Wow! It was so much better to be able to have people in the same situation as me doing the course and understanding, not understanding and then discussing it to the point we felt confident. Its been 12 months since then and I am in constant contact with the company, they ask me how i am - I've met all the staff and all i can say is that its a genuine and honest almost family run company. They really do care because they were in my position themselves at some point. Overall I would recommend this to anyone. The school Im located at is VERY remote (which is what i wanted and asked for) so there is no night life which is why i rated it as a 5 - although the locals are always keen to drink, dance and sing Karaoke!!!
