Testimonial

No matter how long you\'ve taught this program will enlighten you and help you form a better teaching platform

You will be hard-pressed to find a better program to secure your TEFL certification. No matter how long you've taught this program will enlighten you and help you form a better teaching platform. I can't say enough about the incredible staff from the office to the classroom providing very thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable teachers. The person's hands-on training and outside real teaching practices are invaluable and necessary for your certification. Great program, great city, great great great I could go on and on but I learned I need to curb my teacher talk.

I could not have selected a better program!

I wish to write a testimonial regarding the high quality and outstanding TEFL program at the Language Institute. I could not have selected a better program! This is the greatest way to learn the practical aspects of teaching with the TEFL programs highly qualified experienced teachers giving a wealth of experience and knowledge without reservation. I was seeking a course which would allow me the professional opportunity to learn new classroom management skills and robust teaching methodologies for all levels of foreign students for my new professional career. The supportive academic office was always available to help me for all manner of questions and requests. The instructors gave generously from their extensive teaching careers and the weekly teaching practice both onsite and at local schools was ideal for practical application of the lessons from the program.

This is really a fantastic course and the best way to start your TEFL career!

I really enjoyed taking the CMU TEFL course and would recommend it to anyone looking to start teaching English in Thailand or elsewhere. I had no previous teaching experience and all of the instructors helped prepare me for teaching with intensive lessons and a solid ten hours of teaching practice throughout the course - teaching students at CMU, online, high school, primary, and kindergarten. Studying as part of a small group and working together to improve our teaching was a fantastic way to learn how to teach English and something that you could not get with a purely online course. The support given by the university was also brilliant throughout the course, helping us with visas during and after the course and providing great advice on finding teaching roles and CV advice. I now feel more than ready to start teaching professionally thanks to the course's focus on practical teaching, and feel that I can ask any of the CMU instructors for help or advice if I need it. This is really a fantastic course and the best way to start your TEFL career!
