Must do for those who want to teach English

I did the TEFL course in September 2023. It was quite intense, a lot of useful information. The trainer Cillian is the best person for this role who could not only follow the syllabus but also add lots of constructive criticism and shared his rich experience. Especially when we talked about bad behavior of the students he could show a lot of examples from his practice and it was priceless. I was slightly confused why we had school practice very soon after the course started, but later I understood that it was good not only to learn everything and then practice, but also reflect on our practice later, when we had something specific to illustrate and to discuss during the following lessons.
I wish I had done this course before I actually had my first school job (7 years ago), it would have helped me a lot.
What surprised me most was that tests were open questioned. I was expecting multiple choice but I had to write all that I have in my head. I think it’s quite fair and need to stay like this to keep the level of the teachers high.
Thank you all the team for your welcoming and warm attitude to every student and readiness to help at any part of the day!
