Testimonial

Incredible Mentors, Great Staff—Totally Worth It!

Absolutely worth it with amazing mentors and great staff. Process was great and worth the 1 month. Wished it could be longer!

A Comprehensive TEFL Foundation with Outstanding Support

LICMU TEFL is a fitting course as it supports aspiring English teachers with a solid foundation to start their journey as Educators. The program encapsulates English teaching techniques, methodologies, syllabus development, and practicum which enable participants to understand the teaching environment in various settings. The success of this intensive program should be attributed to the teachers. Their input, advice, and most notably, their empathy and support for the students throughout the course are commendable, as these contributed significantly to helping participants stay on track. The facilities, including the administrative staff at LICMU, supported the teaching team in providing the right environment, despite the intensity of the course. It was equally gratifying to note that the team assisted students with advice on job application processes.

Practice-Focused Training That Truly Prepares You

The program has 7 practice teaching sessions. This was really good practice and useful.

The lessons were well-structured!!

This TEFL course was intense, practical, and absolutely worth it! The trainers were supportive and knowledgeable, always ready to give useful feedback. I really appreciated the hands-on teaching practice—it was challenging at times, but it gave me the confidence to stand in front of a real class. The lessons were well-structured, and I learned so much about classroom management, lesson planning, and how to keep students engaged. By the end of the course, I felt fully prepared to start teaching
