Accredited CLT course for practising teachers

CLT is an acronym for Communicative Language Teaching. CLT is sometimes referred to as the Communicative Approach.

CLT is a teaching method that prioritises the importance of genuine communication to facilitate learning. CLT learners practice the target language (in our case English) by communicating with each other and the teacher. Authentic material is used to which the learners can relate e.g. news items, personal experiences, things they’ve done, etc. CLT’s goal is the ability to communicate rather than grammatical competence. CLT turns your job into a facilitator, who guides and controls rather than lectures. CLT is also non-methodical because it does not rely on textbooks. CLT is a complex area and our CertPT accredited CLT course​ shows you how to use it in your classroom.

Trinity CertPT accredited CLT course

  • The Trinity CertPT accredited CLT course shows you how to build an effective CLT teaching environment for any age capable of learning and understanding English.
  • We show you how to facilitate communicating and interacting in English in a controlled manner.
  • Find out how to identify and source authentic material to engage your students in active communication.
  • EBC has designed the CertPT accredited CLT course for teachers with little or no knowledge of CLT and those with a deeper understanding.
  • Discover how to create learning opportunities focusing on the language and the learning management process.
  • See why your students’ experiences are crucial to learning, motivation and material engagement.
  • Learn how to link your classroom language with the world in which your students live.

CLT is a teaching approach highlighting the importance of authentic communication for learning. Therefore, language use across the four core skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing takes priority because conveying and understanding messages lets you function in the real world. Also, since the learners will one day have to cope with the real world’s challenges, the target functions, notions and language items are usually contextualized in real-life situations and tasks.

Successful communication is the primary goal of communicative language teaching. Therefore, the accredited CLT course focuses on learners communicating an authentic message in their particular context and making themselves understood.

Accuracy is desired, but it is not the primary goal. For example, a learner who communicates more information with a few mistakes is more likely to communicate successfully than one who conveys very little with no errors.

The CLT approach should motivate students to communicate. Therefore, it is essential to use relevant and engaging content for learners.

The purpose of this accredited CLT course in Communicative Language Teaching is to help you find, tailor, adapt and develop material that will engage your students, encourage communication and therefore improve their learning experience and your teaching experience.

EBC International TEFL Certificate - Trinity CertTESOL
4.9
Venus Banquil
It's been a week since I completed the EBC TEFL course, and I would describe it in three adjectives: intensive, time-consuming, and totally worth it.The first two weeks were truly overwhelming; it felt like a real brain drain, from trying to manage my time effectively to simply absorbing everything mentally. The whole experience was mentally exhausting, you really have to get ready for this. The workflow and rhythm were completely different compared to what I was used to, especially with the shift to an online setup. It required major adjustments in almost every aspect, from lesson planning and managing digital tools to keeping up with an overload of information coming at me all at once. At times, it felt like my brain was in overdrive, constantly processing, adapting, and trying to keep everything afloat.Time management played a crucial role in this course, and it was definitely one of the biggest challenges. Balancing everything wasn’t easy, especially because studying was not something you could just skim through or do passively. There was a significant amount of reading involved, and it wasn’t just about going through the materials—it required deep comprehension. Every reading material had to be thoroughly understood in order to apply the concepts effectively, especially when it came to creating well-structured and meaningful lesson plans. Simply put, reading for the sake of reading wasn’t enough; you had to analyze, reflect, and connect the ideas to your own teaching practices. That level of mental engagement, combined with tight schedules and multiple tasks, really pushed me to develop better time management skills and stay organized throughout the process. The learning curve was steep, and balancing everything was a real challenge.It was truly a complete package of learning and experience. The teachers were absolutely amazing—smart, supportive, and deeply committed to helping us succeed. Whatever questions we had, they were always there to guide us, making sure we understood what was needed to pass and thrive in the course. Their support went far beyond simple assistance; they were incredibly generous with their knowledge, offering insights not just for lesson planning, but also for exams and preparing for interviews. Honestly, the word “assistance” feels too shallow to describe the kind of wisdom and encouragement they shared with us.I thought the 20 days training felt like long, but as I immersed myself in the process, time flew by. And now, looking back, I genuinely miss it. I miss the lessons, the routine, and especially the classmates who eventually became like a fellowship—a community built on sharing ideas, struggles, and encouragement. Some of the tasks and questions were tough, but that’s where the strength of the group came in. We supported each other, collaborated, and pushed one another toward better understanding and better outcomes.The course was totally worth it because it provided not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills that I can directly apply in real teaching scenarios. It challenged me to grow both personally and professionally, pushing me out of my comfort zone and helping me build confidence. Beyond the lessons, the experience created meaningful connections and lasting memories that made the entire journey even more valuable.I miss all of it—the learning, the connections, and the journey itself.

I am from the Philippines, and my EBC online Trinity CertTESOL course, which ended on January 31, 2025, presented a significant challenge due to the time difference between Madrid and my country. For almost 20 days, I stayed up until 3:00 in the morning because our classes ran from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM Philippine time, and I also had to work on my lesson plans. Though the schedule was exhausting, the experience was incredibly enriching and rewarding.My journey in the TEFL course has been a true blessing. Why? Because I transformed from someone with no formal teaching background into a resourceful and adaptable teacher. The opportunity to teach actual learners from different parts of the world was both exciting and educational. This experience not only enhanced my teaching skills but also broadened my perspective on global education. It was a journey of growth, learning, and inspiration that I will always cherish.
Bea Abrigo
Completing the Certesol TEFL course at EBC TEFL Madrid has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The program provided a solid foundation in English language teaching, blending theory with practical application in a way that was both challenging and enriching.What stood out most was the hands-on approach to learning. The observed teaching practice sessions gave me the confidence to step into a real classroom setting, while the detailed feedback from experienced trainers helped me improve lesson planning, classroom management, and instructional techniques.The trainers at EBC were knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in our growth. Their guidance and encouragement created a supportive learning environment that made a huge difference throughout the intensive course.
Response from the owner: Thanks, and we wish you the best.
Kim Gomez
I took an online TEFL course with EBC Madrid, and it was an incredibly intense but rewarding experience. The training really pushed me out of my comfort zone and challenged my capabilities. At first, I was quite worried since I had no prior background in teaching, but the instructors and staff were extremely supportive, approachable, and always willing to helop. Their guidance made the four weeks much more manageable and even enjoyable.Despite the intensity of the program, I’m truly grateful for everything I learned and for the opportunity to grow alongside my classmates. The experience was both challenging and fulfilling, and I would highly recommend EBC Madrid to anyone looking for a solid TESOL/TEFL certification. 😊
Response from the owner: Time flew on your course because you guys were great. Thanks for your kind words.
aldrin liper
Although extremely demanding, the EBC Trinity CertTESOL course was incredibly rewarding. It was clear from the start that the goal of this program was to challenge trainees to reach their maximum potential in the most beneficial way possible. The course's successful fusion of theory and real-world application was one of its highlights.For someone with a few years of teaching background, participating in educational opportunities and engaging interactive sessions was especially beneficial. They motivated me to expand my boundaries and consistently enhance my abilities. Furthermore, I was fortunate to share this experience with remarkable individuals, which rendered the journey even more pleasurable. The trainers offered significant support; they supplied invaluable feedback throughout the process, assisting me in pinpointing areas for improvement and acknowledging my strengths. They ensured that we received the essential guidance to thrive despite the demanding nature of the program.The practical experience, along with a nurturing educational atmosphere, positions EBC as an excellent option for individuals aiming to launch a TESOL career. Although the course requires a considerable amount of dedication, which can be especially tough for those working full-time like myself, EBC guarantees that you are adequately equipped for a prosperous future in TEFL.
Response from the owner: Thank you very much.
Leela Andrea Alconcel
Before enrolling in EBC’s online TEFL course, I had already completed TESOL training, but this experience took my understanding to a whole new level. It was intense, challenging, and at times overwhelming, but ultimately, it was one of the most rewarding learning experiences I’ve had.The course followed an outcome-based approach, meaning the way we were taught mirrored how we were expected to teach. It wasn’t just about theory—it was about application. Despite being online, the program was highly interactive, engaging, and structured in a way that truly prepared us for real-world teaching.Balancing life, work, and the rigorous four-week training was tough, but it shaped me into a more confident, student-centered educator. The teaching practice was nerve-wracking at first—teaching online while being observed felt overwhelming—but over time, I found my rhythm. The diverse students we worked with made the experience even more enriching.The instructors were another highlight. Even in a virtual setting, they created a supportive and motivating learning environment. Their passion for teaching was contagious, and I often found myself emulating their techniques.If you're serious about becoming a top-notch English teacher, I highly recommend this program. It’s demanding but incredibly rewarding, equipping you with the skills, confidence, and real teaching experience to make an impact in any classroom—online or in-person.
Response from the owner: The course was challenging for all tutors and trainees, but you all performed exceptionally well. Made it a pleasure to teach your group. Thanks for your kind words.

My journey in earning the CERT TESOL from EBC Trinity has been both rewarding and transformative. Throughout the course, I gained valuable insights into effective language teaching strategies, especially in enhancing students' listening and reading skills through vocabulary instruction.The course provided me with a solid foundation in teaching methodologies, lesson planning, and classroom management. One of the most impactful aspects of the program was learning how to create engaging and meaningful activities that cater to different learning styles. This knowledge has significantly improved my ability to deliver clear and effective lessons, both in traditional classrooms and online platforms like Zoom.Incorporating what I learned in my CERT TESOL studies with my hospitality background and previous teaching experience has allowed me to connect with students in a dynamic way. I now feel more confident in designing lessons that are interactive, practical, and tailored to meet learners' language goals.Passing the CertTESOL with MERIT have significantly enhanced my confidence and teaching effectiveness. These certifications have equipped me with the skills to design dynamic, learner-focused lessons that cater to diverse educational needs.Completing the CERT TESOL has empowered me with the skills and confidence to inspire my students while fostering a positive and enriching learning environment. As I continue my journey as a language teacher, I am committed to applying these skills to support my students' growth and language proficiency.I highly recommend EBC Trinity’s to educators seeking to strengthen their teaching strategies, connect with learners effectively, and advance their professional growth.To Iza and Georgia, thank you so much!

christian daryll pongos
I finished my CertTESOL a week ago, and I can honestly say it was worth every bit of effort, time, and money. The course was intense—there were moments when I felt completely drained—but it pushed me in all the right ways. From lesson planning to real teaching practice, everything was hands-on and practical.One of the best parts was the support from both tutors/trainers, the management, and my awesome classmates. The feedback were all constructive, sometimes tough, but always useful. I've been teaching for over seven years, and this course has been incredibly valuable. It refined my techniques, introduced new perspectives, and reinforced key teaching principles that I can apply in my classes. Even with my experience, I found myself learning and improving in ways I hadn’t expected. I walked away feeling more confident in my teaching abilities and with a much better understanding of how to engage students effectively.If you're considering taking CertTESOL, just be prepared to work hard. It’s not an easy ride, but if you put in the effort, you’ll come out of it a much stronger teacher. Definitely worth it!By the way, I Passed with Merit, and I can proudly say I am now an international English Language Teacher. Thank you so much, EBC! More power!
Response from the owner: Thank you very much for your kind words. On behalf of everyone at EBC, all the best!

Rej Ramos
I just finished my Trinity CertTESOL course, and it was a fantastic, albeit intense, experience! Coming in with zero teaching experience, I was a bit apprehensive, but the instructors were incredibly supportive and made the learning process really engaging. They focused on practical application, which was invaluable as it allowed me to apply what I learned through actual teaching practices. I also appreciated the opportunities for self-reflection which really helped me internalize what I was learning. It wasn't just about learning teaching methods; it was about understanding my own strengths and areas for growth.What really stood out was how accommodating they were. They helped every step of the way, always answering questions and providing guidance. I left the course feeling much more confident and prepared, not just as a teacher, but as someone who understands how to learn and grow. If you're looking for a TESOL course that combines practical skills, personal development, and amazing support, this is definitely it!
Response from the owner: Thanks, and we wish you the best.

Jenie Benitua
The Trinity CertTESOL course from EBC was an incredibly rewarding yet intense experience. From the outset, it was clear that this program was designed to challenge trainees in the best way possible. One of the standout features of the course was its balance between theory and practice. We were not only taught key teaching principles but also given ample opportunities to apply them through practice teaching and observations. I appreciated this approach, as it helped me understand how the concepts translated into real-world teaching scenarios.The interactive sessions and teaching opportunities were particularly valuable, especially for someone like me with no prior teaching experience. They encouraged me to push my boundaries and continuously improve my skills. Additionally, I had the pleasure of sharing this journey with wonderful people, which made the process even more enjoyable. The support from the trainers was exceptional; they offered constructive feedback throughout, helping me identify areas for improvement while also recognizing my strengths. They ensured we had the guidance needed to succeed despite the program's high intensity.The hands-on experience, coupled with a supportive learning environment, makes EBC a standout choice for anyone looking to kickstart a TESOL career. While the course demands a significant commitment, which can be particularly challenging for those with a full-time job like I have, EBC ensures you are well-prepared for a successful future in TEFL.
Response from the owner: Hi Jenie, Thanks so much for your fantastic words. We always try to give every student what they need to become a good TEFL teacher. I am glad that we were able to meet your requirements, and it was a pleasure having you on the course.

Choosing the right school for teacher training is crucial, and my experience with EBC has exceeded my expectations in many ways. It's not just about meeting basic standards; it's about finding a place that genuinely supports its students and provides a solid foundation for long-term success in teaching.The CertTESOL course is a highly respected qualification, recognized at Level 5, and it truly lives up to its reputation. It’s a fast-paced, intensive program that dives deep into teaching techniques, lesson planning, and practical classroom experience. From the very beginning, I realized how challenging it would be, but every step was designed to push you toward becoming a better educator. The workload is considerable, but it’s balanced with real-world teaching practice that builds confidence and skill.One standout feature of the course is the unit on learning an unfamiliar language. It’s an eye-opener for any teacher. By putting us in the shoes of learners, the course helps develop a more empathetic approach to teaching English. This element, combined with the comprehensive teaching practice, ensures that even those with no prior experience in teaching get a solid introduction to what it's like to manage a classroom.Throughout the course, the support system was outstanding. Whether it was from fellow trainees, the dedicated trainer Iza, or the management team led by Tita, I never felt alone on this journey. The personalized feedback after every teaching session was incredibly helpful. It gave me clear guidance on how to improve, while also highlighting my strengths.For those considering a career shift into teaching or even experienced educators wanting to expand their qualifications, the CertTESOL offers a fantastic opportunity. The skills you gain are not only practical but also applicable in a wide range of teaching contexts. If you’re thinking about taking this course, I highly recommend EBC as a place where you can thrive and grow as an educator.

I recently completed the intensive teacher certification course (TEFL) with EBC throught their online program , which provided me with a solid foundation for entering the teaching profession. Though I do not have prior experience in teaching, the course was incredibly enriching and gave me numerous insights into what it takes to become a successful teacher. It covered essential areas such as lesson planning, classroom management, effective communication, and how to cater to diverse learning styles. The hands-on activities and real-life teaching scenarios helped me understand how to engage students, assess their progress, and adapt lessons to suit different needs. Overall, the course equipped me with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills I need to feel confident in a teaching role.
Response from the owner: Hi Lovely,Thanks for your kind words. We’re now starting with the second part of your Road2Spain programme which is your one-year Spanish programme in Madrid.

What a rude managing director this school has! If you believe you’re a great school, you must rethink how you choose your directors or any customer facing employee! Just rude !

If anyone has aspirations to become an ESL teacher, this course and school won't disappoint. I graduated with a Trinity CertTesol certificate from EBC in July and have only positive things to report about the school, the course, the trainers, and the process, from first contact to graduation.The school and its staff were very helpful in answering any questions I had and, in fact, proactively provided the most important information. The course is designed logically and allows students to digest each aspect, apply it to their teaching, and evaluate its usefulness.The trainers are the most impressive part of the course. It quickly became clear they are experts in their field, but on top of that, they were warm and welcoming, creating a productive atmosphere in lessons that carried across the course and made the whole process as straightforward as it could possibly be.The school provides practical and relevant information on the employment market for ESL teachers, which was particularly helpful to me as someone who is new to teaching. It also includes proactive assistance to graduates looking for work.The only thing I can say to reinforce what I've said above is that if I had to pick a route into teaching again, there is no question this is the course and the school I would pick.
Response from the owner: Hi Kieran,Thank you for such a lovely review. We know that it's really a challenging course, but students like you makes it a worthwhile challenge. The EFL/ESL sector is one of a kind, full of rewards, adventures, challenges and of course travels. Welcome aboard and we're always here when you need us. All the best from all of us at EBC Trinity College Cert TESOL.Regards,Tita Ashton

Ethel Mkwananzi
I recently completed an intense course, thanks to the competent trainers who were patient and encouraging throughout. I pushed myself beyond my comfort zones and reached new limits. The convenience of the course being online was ideal for busy working professionals, allowing me to learn from the comfort of my home. I also made lifelong friends among my fellow trainees. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking an internationally recognized English Teaching Qualification.
Response from the owner: Hi Ethel,It was a pleasure having you and we were all so amazed at how you juggled your full-time teaching job with our intensive Trinity CERT TESOL course. We at EBC know that you gave your best and it showed. We were also glad that you could share your mother tongue (Shona) and that is why we have invited you to do the UFL classes for the next November 18 course. Looking forward to your UFL classes and I’ll see you on the staff meeting before the course. Welcome to the EBC team.Regards,Tita Ashton

A wonderful course, concise and complete. It is very well thought out with a scientific approach and holds very high standards. The teachers are all very friendly, approachable and ever ready to guide and help. To me it's the best TEFL course that one can lay their hands on.
Response from the owner: Hi Latika,It was an honour and pleasure to train you on our course. You, being an experienced teacher initially posed a challenge that later proved how good and dedicated our EBC staff were. They worked well with your inert skills and experience that resulted in you performing at a very high standard. I hope your EBC training will be a helpful tool in your current teaching career. Be well.Regards,Tita Ashton

4-week Trinity CertTESOL is not for the faint-hearted but for those who are determined to push through academically and professionally demanding course! Having said that, in 4 weeks, they will equip you to teach English effectively, covering theories and practicum.Instructor Iza was very much instrumental in successfully completing the course despite the fact that I had no teaching experience with her excellent teaching & mentoring skills. Managing Director Tita was always hands-on, sharing her invaluable experience and expertise with us whenever possible despite her busy schedule, and the staff at EBC will help you all the admin so that students can focus on studies.One more thing you'll cherish is your classmates. I had the pleasure of getting to know 4 fantastic ladies who supported during challenging moments.After loads (I mean, seriously loads of writing & reading & preparing) of assignments, grammar test & moderation, you'll get that the most coveted English teaching cert - Trinity CertTESOL. If you want to get it, study at EBC. You won't regret it
Response from the owner: Hi Misa,Despite you coming from an extensive HR and international work background, you had no qualms about working hard and taking on the challenges of the course. You were always open to suggestions on how to teach better and you implemented the advice and suggestions given to you on feedback time. It was really nice having you on the course and we wish you the best.Regards,Tita Ashton

Saying "I recommend this school" is an understatement. I think that there are several key factors we need to take into account when recommending a school to anyone which include: A school that complies with the standards, A school that fosters a supportive environment, and A school that provides a quality type of learning and EBC have met all of these.The CertTESOL is recognized as a Level 5 qualification, It is an intensive and demanding course that covers a wide range of teaching methodologies, language analysis, and practical teaching experience. I can confidently say that this is by far the most challenging course I have taken so far. The amount of paperwork and practical tasks you need to complete to pass the course is staggering but understandable because this is, of course, an intensive course. Everything you need to learn about teaching the English language is squeezed into 20 days' worth of classes. Despite that, the rewards of gaining this lifelong professional qualification far outweigh the stress of the course.The composition of the course is well thought out. A unit dedicated to learning an unknown language for example I think is essential for us, as English Teachers to expose us to the different teaching styles we can make use of when delivering English Lessons to ELL Students. The Teaching Practice also allows individuals who have zero experience in teaching to be exposed to an actual classroom setting.Although I mentioned that this is the hardest course I have taken so far, the support I received from my peers my Trainer, Iza, and the Managing Director, Tita was immeasurable. They are there every step of course. From pre-qualification to moderation, they have provided us with the best support. We were even given one-on-one feedback throughout the entirety of the course to monitor our progress and discuss the things we need to improve on. Because of this, It helped me achieve my full potential.This course is not only for those who have zero experience in Teaching and want to shift careers and be part of the academe. But also for those who already have experience in teaching like me who would like to further their qualification. After all, The Trinity CertTESOL is a widely recognized qualification.So if you are thinking of taking your CertTESOL anytime soon, do consider this institution.
Response from the owner: Thank you very much for such a lovely review. We know that it's really a challenging course but having students like you makes it worthwhile. The EFL/ESL sector is full of challenges, rewards and of course travels. Welcome aboard and we're always here when you need us. All the best from all of us at EBC Trinity College Cert TESOL.

The program is well-designed with responsible and accredited teaching staff. They paid attention to detail and guided me from the very beginning, even before the course started, and continued their support after it ended. The training helped building a strong foundation in teaching languages.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your review and I wish you the best in your new life journey in Spain. I bet you will love it. ¡Cuidate!
Elysa Saripan
My endless research of my "perfect" TEFL/TESOL course ended when I made the right decision with EBC Madrid. Aside to the credible Trinity CertTESOL it offers, the school is equipped with one of the best team in the business! Highly experienced professionals and ethical.As a former corporate executive for over a decade, I came in with little expectation on what I signed up for - "I trusted the process". But I would say this - Take heed when coming into this INTENSIVE course, hence adjusting to your lifestyle will be recommended. The amount of work I put into and seeing the end results within a short period of time was the most eye-opening experience with the highest growth potential. My personal journey came with storms and rainbows, but I was grateful to be grouped with the best classmates who fostered peer collaboration and provided a sense of community that renders support even after the course. Trust that the selection process is well-sorted by Tita, and you'll have a chance to meet an inspirational group of individuals from diverse backgrounds - and some of whom are pretty established, I might add 🙂 A chance to network with like-minded individuals!The practical teaching module the CertTESOL comes with provides an enriching and self-reflective experience that values your personal input. That was my personal favourite incentive as I felt seen, heard and understood by my trainers and was highly receptive to their constructive feedback. (Special thanks to the main course trainer, Iza! <3) Their extensive experience envelop a discerning take that provides the best available guidance to their trainees. EBC does not only focus on professional growth and in theory, but it does elevate your personal growth to be a well-rounded ESL teacher.For those who have been considering a mid-career switch, seeking an overseas opportunity (exclusive lifetime worldwide job placement support), wanting to develop your professional ambitions, or needing to earn some university credits along the way; fret not with the hands-on team who is readily available to provide you with professional advise and expertise to suit your needs. Overall, I would highly recommend EBC Madrid.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words it was a pleasure having you on our course and keep in touch and let us know what your future plans are as far of teaching and coming to Spain.
Erika Correa
I had a really good experience at EBC. They were with me every step of the way. They were so supportive too. I can't believe I learned so much in just four weeks. I highly recommend getting your Trinity CertTESOL at EBC. Imagine, you get dual TESOL and TEFL certificates for the price of one -- truly worth your money!
Response from the owner: Thanks for your comments. It was great having you on the course -all assignments and work due turned in on time, Your work was always well planned and implemented. You'll make a good EFL/ESL teacher. ¡Suerte en España!
Golestaneh Arsalan
I cannot put my feelings into words of how helpful this course was for me, not only by teaching the criteria's of each subject but also by making me, as a beginner, confident enough for real-world class situations. It is not about only teaching strategy but also how to examine yourself in each step. Despite the fact that it was intense and difficult to take, it was interesting enough to give you motivation to keep on studying. The indelible support and help from the instructor will give you much passion to try your best at learning each material. I must say that it is absolutely worth the devotion. As Rumi said, “The wound is the place. where the light enters you."
Response from the owner: It was a pleasure having you, Golestaneh and we wish you the best in your teaching career in Spain.

Ghadeer Marjieh
Doing the CertTESOL course at EBC was one of the best studying experiences I have ever had. The course intensity exceeded my expectations, but the studying experience exceeded my expectations too. It was beyond amazing.During the interview I was given all the information regarding the course in a very detailed way and I was prepared to what to expect.The course itself was exceptional. Our teacher was so professional, patient, great teacher to watch and learn from. I enjoyed every minute of our zoom meetings.The Teaching Practices were very important to our learning process. The chance that we had to teach people from different background and practice what we've learned in the meetings was priceless.All the staff is so nice and Tita is really really helpful. I can't wish for better experience and I can't recommend EBC enough. If you're considering to make the TESOL certificate you should definitely consider EBC.
Response from the owner: You were one of a kind! Despite you coming from a very international work background, you came across as a down to earth student ready to work hard and take on the challenges of the course. It was really nice having you on the course. With all the languages you have under your belt, we were awed! ¡Suerte en España!
Alicia Valderas
I cannot recommend EBC enough. They were professional and kind. Everybody I had the pleasure to interact with was helpful and really nice to talk to. Our teacher was amazing and you can tell she has a passion for teaching and helping people.I got my Trinity CetTESOL with EBC and it was a great experience. During the selection process, they explained everything you need to know about the course and what to expect after it. The course is really complete and perfect to start your teaching career and/or keep developing your teaching skills, even if you have previous teaching experience.Thank you so much for everything!
Response from the owner: You were one of the best students we have ever had the pleasure to work with. On behalf of all of us at EBC thank you for your kind words.

Well crafted course, with practical teaching and great instructors.
Response from the owner: Thanks, Louie and all the best.
Ella Harrington
I did the Trinity CertTESOL online course. It was 4 weeks long, and very intense, but I learnt a lot and felt sufficiently equipped to begin my career as a EFL teacher, especially because of the teaching practice with real students from around the world. I have since been applying for jobs, and due to this real teaching practice, I have found that schools are happy to hire me even though I don't have much professional teaching experience. The school also offers great job support, and I have received multiple interviews through this process. I would recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words and I hope you enjoy your stay in Madrid. ¡Que disfrutes!
Jepril Mina
EBC Madrid is a well-established institution for skill acquisition in TEFL. I had the privilege to pass their Trinity CertTESOL course last October 6, 2023. The high learning curve in the INTENSIVE Trinity CertTESOL program plus their highly qualified tutors make EBC a prime destination for those who are serious about teaching ESL. There were sleepless nights and bouts of anxieties in completing the course works on time while doing my full time job. But if you're willing to invest the effort and dedication, EBC will guide you on a path towards many possibilities of TEFL career opportunities with their job placement program around the world. Doors do open 🙂
Response from the owner: You did quite well on the course considering you were also working full time. I wish you the best in your career. Maybe see you in Baguio soon.
