An open and approachable team of select teachers and trainers.

"I’ve been able to use the Trinity CertTESOL to improve my own teaching of English to refugees and asylum seekers at Cornerstone, Manchester."

"A really thorough course. The modules cover grammar points for trainees to brush up as well as useful ideas to supplement the theory input sessions."

"Congratulations on a great product, I think this would be something I could definitely recommend to trainees. Really useful and fairly priced."

“They are great professionals, real experts in the field of EFL/ESOL and in delivering TESOL courses to trainees…I would recommend the Train-to-TEFL course to anyone who wants to have a change of direction in their career.”

“I’m so glad I found Train-to-TEFL to train with. The course [CertTESOL]is really hard work but you’ll be supported and encouraged throughout. Everything is made really achievable, the resources are brilliant…it’s like being part of a little family.”

“My new qualification gave me the opportunity to spend last summer in Devon and Cornwall teaching a range of international students. I highly recommend you to enrol on a life changing course.”

“Suzannah took the time to talk to me, gave me the confidence that the support was there and that she and her team knew their subject inside out. I personally couldn’t recommend them more.”

"After the course [TESOL Foundation Course] I immediately got a job teaching mainly Chinese and Japanese adults and children. I am now in a position where I have started to develop my own teaching business. If you do decide to do this course, you won’t be sorry!”

“It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone, whether you are looking to study TESOL for the first time, or like me, wanting to build on existing knowledge whilst looking at English language learning from the perspective of the learner".

“I really enjoyed the course, it was very in-depth and engaging. I really enjoyed observing live ESOL lessons”
