Sórcha O’Connell helped me throughout my process of buying the Tefl course, I called to ask about how the whole process works and... she was so helpful and was able to answer all my queries about the course and what I wanted to use it for in the future. She also kept in touch with me through email while I was in the process of deciding what course to choose. I would 100% recommend it and Sórcha made the process a lot easier for me too. Great service 😊read more

I can't say enough good things about this course. There is a huge amount of support provided for all stages: before, during and... after. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and care a lot about their students succeeding both during and after their course. I'd also like to make a special mention of Sorcha O'Connell, whom I called before finally deciding to purchase and start the course. She was very helpful and thorough in providing me all the information I needed to decide on a course; I recommend speaking to her if you have any questions before you get started!read more
