Just finished the ICAL TEFL course and I’m so glad I did it. It was a pretty intensive few weeks, but totally worth it. I was a bit nervous about it being online, but you get a personal tutor and the course materials are actually really good and practical.
The best part for me was connecting with other people in the course from all over. Hearing their experiences and reasons for doing this made it feel like a real community.
I feel way more confident now about actually going abroad to teach. It’s not as scary as I thought! If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it.
