Testimonials

"C'est un excellent cours et je le recommande vivement. Il est intensif et nécessite beaucoup d’auto-apprentissage ainsi que de longues journées d’étude et de TP, mais les formateurs le rendent très agréable. La qualité de la formation est aussi bonne que celle que j'ai reçue au cours de deux carrières et le soutien que vous recevez est exceptionnel. En 28 jours, j’ai tellement appris et j’ai plus de confiance pour diriger maintenant une classe d’EFL." - Annabella Z., Marrakesh

"Il a le pouvoir de transformer des débutants absolus en enseignants confiants, je le recommanderais sans hésiter." - Maryame A., Rabat

"Il ne fait aucun doute que ma philosophie de l'enseignement a changé après ce cours." - Hassan E., Marrakesh

"Je n'ai plus peur d'enseigner. Bien au contraire, je commence à en profiter. Cet élément de frayeur de théâtre qui m'a fondamentalement déchiré et saboté est maintenant "parti avec le vent". J'ai changé. Toute ma personnalité a changé. Je peux le sentir et vous savez quoi, c'est incroyable. J'ai attendu si longtemps pour un changement comme celui-ci. Tout ce que nous avons vécu vaut la peine." - Mehdi J., Marrakesh
