| The TEFL Online program has given me an excellent base from which to launch a teaching career overseas. It provided a wide range of pertinent information required for a new teacher of English in a foreign country and all for a very reasonable cost. The time allowed to complete the course was generous and my tutor was very supportive and always graded the modules immediately giving prompt feedback. |
