Description: We have established ourselves as a highly recommended gateway to the world of TEFL, based in the Western Cape. Our 100 hour TEFL course is internationally recognized; rigorous; but a lot of fun too and will bring out the teacher in almost anyone. We also assist and provide independent advice on work placements and placement agencies to assist the teacher with finding their ideal post. Furthermore we can put potential trainees in touch with past graduates who can give a good insight into working and living conditions.

Travel/tour packages: Working hand-in-hand with local tour guides, we can work out a program to suit your requirements. All arrangements for Study-Tour packages are tailored to your requirements. We can assist with anything from finding a hostel/hotel to booking your dream safari. Please contact us or see our website for further details and a quote.

School programs: We have pioneered some initiatives to benefit locals such as our School-Assist program, where TEFL graduates gain experience by providing under resourced English departments with assistance. This double edged sword benefits everyone by introducing new ideas and methodologies into the classroom while the TEFL trainee gains a wonderfully rich teaching experience and valuable references for their CV. We also provide study assistance to school learners in the form of mobile tutors.

Highlights: Quality, attention to detail and results are what make our courses popular roughly half of our new students come through referrals from past students! Look at the testimonials on our website to see what recent graduates have said.

Our school has a unique atmosphere with a relaxed and homely feel. It has an enclosed, central courtyard with many plants and a braai for school gatherings. We have computers for student use with broadband internet, and also wi-fi for students with laptop computers.

Our budget-priced language improvement courses for South Africans aim to directly address the needs of South Africans for whome English is a 2nd or foreign language. This is also a good platform for recently trained teachers to get genuine classroom experience.

Finally, our location in Rosebank, Cape Town is simply beautiful, relaxed yet inspiring with many activites and adventures to be had on our doorstep.

In other words we do things a bit differently, but effectively.
