    The Destination TEFL virtual ESL course has been very challenging and pushed me out of my comfort zone. The course structure and material was engaging, interesting, fun and varied. It included both theory and practical elements - time has flown by and at the same time I feel like I’ve been on the course for months! The resources we have been given give me comfort as I will be able to reference them again in future in the workplace.

    Our trainer Tina was professional, bubbly, entertaining, patient and supportive. Best of all, she was authentic and direct with her feedback which was really helpful. I feel equipped and ready to teach now that I have a variety of resources, tools, techniques, games and information to be the best ESL teacher I can be.

    Thank you Destination TEFL!

    I have had the pleasure and privilege of attending both the 140-hour onsite training in Siem Reap earlier this year, as well as the 120-hour virtual course - more recently. I have derived immense value from both of these certifications. Tina – the Head Trainer – is beyond passionate and committed. This is evident in her tireless work ethic, patience, compassion, encouragement, generosity, and all the various offerings of support that she provides to her students - so naturally. Tina goes way beyond the call of duty to ensure continuous upskilling and holistic success. Her expertise and teaching style make for fascinating and impactful learning, alongside lots of fun, belly laughs, many wonderful new friends amongst peers and connections made.
     
    The training centre in Siem Reap is based in the magnificent Isirafu Boutique Hotel, which becomes your home away from home. Here you will find beautiful, clean, spacious features and facilities, coupled by the most marvellous staff. Everyone ever ready to assist you, with big smiles and great enthusiasm. The restaurant is sensational and the kitchen staff are masterful at seamlessly catering to specific dietary requirements, including veganism.
     
    The onsite training course empowers students in a myriad of ways and exposes them to teaching practicums at a local NGO. This was a remarkable experience. The virtual training equips students equally as multifacetedly and provides one-on-one, virtual practica - which were equally as significant. Each program educates and prepares students for both classroom based and online teaching alike.
    My deep gratitude and appreciation to everyone within the Destination TEFL team and family!

    This virtual course was a fantastic 3 week experience that I will never forget! Incredible interactive course where you meet some really incredible people and learn super interesting and helpful ESL teaching techniques. I'm very glad that I took the TEFL course and even more happy I chose to take it with Destination TEFL. I really look forward to meeting the staff in person in Cambodia when I eventually head over there after Covid-related travel restrictions are loosened. Thanks Destination TEFL!!

    I had an amazing experience from start to end! I was initially a little nervous going into the course with not much prior knowledge of the zoom platform and how it would translate to a classroom environment for a learner but those nerves quickly faded once I realised how straight forward the platform was to navigate. The content was presented in a way that made learning fun and I thought the pace of delivery was maintainable. I learnt so much and I now feel equipped with the tools to be able to start applying for online teaching jobs. I recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a high quality TEFL course with amazing teachers who provide you with the skills and confidence to start your teaching journey.

    Wow... What a nice course. Everyone is super kind and helpful. The knowledge of Tina - (the best teacher ever) is amazing and I find it easy to understand something she's explaining. They gave me confidence to stand in front of a whole class and teaching Khmer people is the absolute best! They are so polite. Sad to say bye to the good people that became family. But on the other hand excited to start the new journey. A big thanks to all!

    The training is excellent. As a trainee here I feel as if I have really progressed over the last month and I feel super confident in the tools I have been taught to teach Khmer students. The directors are very transparent with you in terms of one needing to know all the ins and outs of this course and how job placements will work etc. If one is nervous that they won’t get their money’s worth doing this course - I can 100% say that everything about this course is worth it. From the hotel to the resources used and to the actual training itself. It’s wonderful experience filled with such fun as well!

    Great course, a lot of fun but also very demanding. The teachers are amazing and very knowledgeable and helpful. Tina Hennessy was our teacher through most of the course and we all just loved her. She is an amazing teacher. Siem Reap is a wonderful place to stay while doing the course (the course takes place at the beautiful hotel where students stay - Isirafu boutique hotel). Keep in mind that you might end up working in Phnom Penh, which I hear is not as great as Siem Reap, but I am yet to experience. I would recommend this course for sure, but give yourself a month before joining to prepare. There are a lot of things that you need to do before travelling to Cambodia (even if they might tell you that everything can be done in a week's time).
