I chose Premier TEFL after a months-long search, and I am happy with my choice. Professional, not oppressive with a thousand emails like... many of the most famous providers ( and this was decisive for me). The contents of the modules are good and offer a lot of hints and materials to continue studying and dealing with the English language. I did the 180-hour Diploma and it required serious commitment that was taken into consideration. I always received prompt and attentive responses. I thank Laura, Emily, Olivia and Jacob. I recommend it to anyone who wants to try to become an English as a Second Language teacher and who is aware of the work it then entails. Thank you to allread more
