The fastest-growing city in France, Toulouse looks across the Pyrenees to Spain and"bohemian Barcelona" for its inspiration, turning its back on "polished Paris" and "bourgeois Bordeaux."

It is the modern combined with the old that makes Toulouse a fun place to live. The historic center has the ancient feel of Florence or Siena, while the presence of Airbus and other high-tech industries, in addition to internationally renowned universities means that the city has an international, cutting-edge side as well.

In some of the more boisterous restaurants and taverns, you can find yourself sharing long tables with students (there are over 100,000 of them in Toulouse) and aerospace engineers! A crossroads of Europe, Toulouse is very well connected to the rest of the continent by hundreds of daily low-cost flights.

There are over 30 language teaching organizations in the city, so teaching opportunities are available to those who qualify for employment. France is currently undergoing a "TEFL boom," making Toulouse an ideal locale for earning your TEFL Certification.

I chose International TEFL Academy because they have contacts all around the world and I wanted to be sure my certificate would allow me to travel where ever the wind may lead. I enjoyed the course a lot. The trainers were all very supportive, encouraging and insightful. Plus they were a lot of fun! The month was intense but certainly worthwhile. I made quite a few friends, not only with the other students, but with the "guinea pigs" who came for free lessons.

I wanted to get TEFL certified after I became more interested in a career teaching English. While I had teaching experience in after-school classes/private tutoring/etc, I don't have a degree in education, so it was very important to me to get a bit more formal education in the subject. ITA was recommended to me by a friend who had done a course here. After doing a lot of research, I ultimately chose ITA because I thought it was the best value for the number of hours.

I chose to get certified because I am always looking for ways to expand my mind. I have a passion for learning and a strong desire to see the world. I had just gotten out of a very long term relationship and needed a change in scenery. I chose ITA because they just seemed to have all the answers to all my questions. They are extremely organized, highly enthusiastic, open to compliments AND concerns (this is important), active on social media, and optimistic outlookers.
