The school was very professional and helpful and the tutors knowledgeable and responsive.
Susan Mallett
I am absolutely delighted with my success on this course and, although it was very challenging, I very much enjoyed studying for it.Having worked in NVQ training in the UK I have experience of providing training materials. I am very impressed with the quality and content of your course not to mention the professionalism of your service and I won't hesitate to recommend it to others.
Katie Wilson
Now that I've had some time to go through your comments and suggestions, I'd just like to say a big thank you for all of your help and support over the past few months. I'm delighted to have completed my course, and am looking forward to "pastures new" when I start teaching my first class next week.
I have to say that I've been very pleased with the quality of service and level of support that I have received from everyone at Global English. I can't thank you enough for your prompt answers to my queries, helpful suggestions and comments, and also your book recommendations. You have helped me to grow as a teacher, and I have some useful teaching resources for future use.

Course Description
The Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) course is a 30 hour online certificate course for existing Teachers/ TEFL certificate holders. Through this course, you will gain the skills and confidence to succeed with younger learners.
Teaching a class of young learners can be a very satisfying feeling, but this requires preparation. Facing a class of energetic youngsters without the necessary training is quite a different prospect.

This course also comes with one of the latest YL course books so that you have access to the most up-to-date materials to help you with the course and with your classes.
