  • This course will set you up for any kind of teaching and then, if you want to be rolling in dosh, you can become an IELTS examiner. I learnt exactly what I needed to from doing this. I heard that I would be giving up my life for a month however this was not the case. It was really intensive but easy to handle with such a good group of people other students and trainers included. The materials were spot on as well, no complaints at all.
    I am happy with my decision to go with TEFL Express a great bunch of genuine people that I still keep in contact with and will continue to do so. It would have been quite possible to do a CELTA course after arriving in China, but I think getting the training out of the way, and building up a nice base of info before getting leaving was the way to do it. It means you can start fresh wherever your going without the pressure of study.

  • Intensive, however much easier to handle than what I thought it was going to be. Was considering just a TEFL cert but decided to step up, glad I did. With this and year teaching in Beijing, I can be an IELTS examiner. Suits me just fine!

What could be improved: I liked least the fact that getting a CELTA is made out to be such a series of hoops to jump through. Let me assure you, it's not stressful and is completely worth doing. Espcially with Express.
Would you recommend this course?: Yes
