Definitely Worth It

I recently just finished my course here in Barcelona and loved my experience. I´m definitely regretting not planning ahead in order to stay here longer to teach. The course itself was very helpful. Thank-you to all of my instructors for preparing me to teach English and for all of the information given about job searching. This course was definitely worth it and I am so glad that I did it in Barcelona. Being here when Spain won the WORLD CUP! Cant beat it. My advice to those thinking about doing the course and specifically here in Barcelona-its definitely worth it. For those that are going to do the course, keep up with the work load but enjoy yourself while you are here. Be careful with your BAGS!, and go to Montjuic to see the Fuente Monumental or Magic Fountain...and be on time for class. Adios Barcelona : (
Saying Hi and Bye

So, here´s my imput and a hope to a higher mark for the
exam.
I would like to thank all the teaches for making my time at TEFL
Barcelona such a great experience. I´ve had such a great
time.
I´m really pleased that Luke (The directors son) is all
better. I look forward to seeing him and Lisa again when I visit
Sitges and also look forward to seeing the other teachers again
soon (The school just has that feel where you can just keep coming
back to say hi)
Keep up the good work TEFL Barcelona.
Best wishes and hugs
Oliver
Life After TEFL International Barcelona Graduation

I arrived like most of you in Barcelona excited, happy and a little scared. Upon completion of the TEFL International Barcelona course I began my job search confident, eager and ready to climb mountains. As most of you are aware searching for a job in a foreign country (especially without papers) is a touch daunting, however through the education I received from some really special people at TEFL International Barcelona I felt fully confident that I would land work and sure enough through a little luck and from the guidance of the staff I did. Within a month of completing the course I landed work teaching both Business English and teaching at Barcelona Plus (a new school that previously only offered Spanish, German and French lessons). Like any new job you are bound to have nerves but they quickly vanished once I realized that I truly knew what I was doing. I am 1 month into working here and I could not be happier. As most of you know moving to a new place can be taxing but if you do what needs to be done the nerves quickly vanish into a quite confidence that if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. I do not know where the future lies, but today I am doing what I should have done a long time ago and thanks to the great folks at TEFL International Barcelona I am actually good at it. If you are thinking about taking the leap and boarding that plane for the unknown, close your eyes and press confirm for a future class at TEFL International Barcelona and sleep well.
