Accreditation:

We are very proud to announce that in 2010 we were accredited by Cambridge University (United Kingdom) ESOL Examinations department, as an authorised Cambridge University ESOL examinations centre.

Our TEFL Qualified Teachers:
Our teachers are all highly qualified, and they have a TEFL or Teaching English as a Foreign Language qualification from one of the major international teacher training centres. Having the only DELTA qualified teacher trainer permanently residing in Durban as a director means that course quality is maintained, and classes are monitored regularly to monitor learner progress.

We feel it is important that our teachers do not simply guide students through a text book, but rather create materials which will be relevant to students and the conversational situations they need to learn. We try to encourage reading and writing practice for homework, and focus more on communication and language usage in class, a method which has been proven to work.

Teacher Training Courses:

We now offer a full time and part time CELTA course, as well as the DLC TEFL, which is also taught by trainers accredited with the Cambridge DELTA.

Student Review:
"I enjoyed the tutor’s guidance and comments during the course. Initially the idea was to just get through all the study material quickly, but it did not work out that way being at work full-time.

I think well worth the effort to enrich one’s knowledge. Thanks for an interesting course."
