What a wonderful experience. There’s a ton of really great information taught by some really great instructors. The teaching practices were so critical in my development as a teacher, I can’t imagine going without it. This course is well worth the time and cost!

LICMU TEFL is a fitting course as it supports aspiring English teachers with a solid foundation to start their journey as Educators. The program encapsulates English teaching techniques, methodologies, syllabus development, and practicum which enable participants to understand the teaching environment in various settings. The success of this intensive program should be attributed to the teachers. Their input, advice, and most notably, their empathy and support for the students throughout the course are commendable, as these contributed significantly to helping participants stay on track. The facilities, including the administrative staff at LICMU, supported the teaching team in providing the right environment, despite the intensity of the course. It was equally gratifying to note that the team assisted students with advice on job application processes.

I'm not a native English speaker. Can I still apply for the course ?
Is there a foreign language requirement to join CMUTEFL ?
