I had the pleasure of doing my training at Vantage in Bangkok. In my experience, learning at Vantage has given me deeper insight into not just the English language, but the process of breaking it down into its components. I gained a better understanding as to why English can be difficult for students because the course covers what we do consciously and subconsciously.
I had a comprehensive though intensive learning experience. The course covers so much more than just English grammar. Coupled with the teaching practices in actual classrooms, I was given the chance to try and apply what I learned. That’s how I think is the best way to internalize skill sets and handle dynamic environments.
I have no regrets participating and I get to take away a lifelong qualification and a skill. The instructors were thorough with the necessary preparation that goes into teaching. The program is well thought-out and I would recommend it to other aspiring teachers.
