Hello future teachers!
I did my due diligence before choosing Vantage TEFL and I did a great job with my research. I can’t believe how much I learned in 4 weeks, it was amazing and I feel that I achieved a high degree of personal and professional accomplishment. It was an intensive course and I really didn’t have time for anything else. I never would have received the type of training I had with Vantage had I completed an online course or went to any other in person school in Thailand. I have the confidence that I need to work anywhere I wish and to teach any student level. During the length of the course you will need to remain focused and use the weekends to create your lesson plans and catch up on your portfolio. I was given access to plenty of online resources through Dropbox and the instructor was able to answer all my questions. I was the only student in my class and I was given a lot of help with resume writing and a lot of attention. I am very satisfied with VantageTEFL and it was money well spent. I was proud the day I was given my Certification.
