Graduate reviews
“Totally recommend EBC. A thorough course, well worth the money and with highly qualified instructors. I had never taught before taking this course, but the 8 hours teaching practice makes you feel so prepared. They answered every single one of my questions and made me feel confident to make this investment. Don’t hesitate taking this course!”
–Kathryn Royal
“Excellent and very comprehensive programme. Our instructor taught us everything we need to know about teaching English. The practice teaching sessions we did are great experience for the real world and I now feel confident that I can teach professionally. Thank you John for your commitment and dedication.”
–Susi Santorelli
“Professor John was an amazing mentor that really prepared my classmates and I to teach English. HOWEVER- My fellow classmates and I never met the owner–the only day she came into the office she was cursing at the employees and being extremely unprofessional. I’m doing the road 2 Spain program and they also sent me to the wrong language school. While the actual TEFL instructor is very professional and helpful, the rest of the staff is very unprofessional and unorganized.”
–Elizabeth Wohlford
