Alumni Perspectives:
TEFL Certification for Teaching English Abroad
"The online TEFL course itself was well-balanced between theory and practice (with a large emphasis on practice). Once I stepped into an ESL classroom for my practicum, I was immediately able to apply what I had learned." - Pouneh Eftekhari
"The course was definitely INTENSIVE. It was every day for about 8 or 9 hours plus homework at night. We also took a few foreign language classes and had many opportunities to practice teach." - Lauren O'Rourke
"I loved the course! I enjoyed the structure of the class and found the professors to be beyond knowledgeable on the subject." - Laura Nalin
