A TESOL Certificate Program from TEFL International that too is embedded in a sound tradition of teaching and developing skill sets is complemented here by the cultural, traditional and historical grandeur of Egypt. Egypt is the second oldest civilization in the world. The land of the pharaohs, the sphinx, the pyramids, the mummies and the Nile, Egypt has remained a mystery for the world. It is a land that has been the granary of Europe and the legend of Cleopatra. For long Egypt and its rich culture and ancient tradition has been an enigma that tourists, travelers and historians have wanted to experience and unravel. European, Arabic and its own traditional culture, have influenced the “Gift of the Nile”, which makes Egypt what it is today.

A lot of questions but all interrelated. We find that courses tend to be taken up by a "mixed bag" of people. For example, we get a lot of people in their early twenties who are recent graduates and want to travel overseas but we also have people in their thirties and forties who either want a career switch, have been made redundant or are moving overseas with their spouse. In addition, we have people either approaching or in retirement and who are looking for something to do in their free time or who have got property on the continent to which they are going to move. Finally, we sometimes have people from other English speaking countries on our courses as well as good non-native speakers from other countries. We had one course where we had a twenty-year-old, a seventy-five year old and two course members from Hungary! As far as entrance requirements are concerned, if you are to be a teacher of English, a high standard of both spoken and written English is demanded. By this is meant your use of English, not necessarily your knowledge of grammatical terminology: you will be given an introduction to language awareness on the course itself. As the four week course is very intensive, you should be prepared to work very hard indeed, have no other distractions, and be mentally/emotionally completely fit and well, including having no current domestic worries. You should also be presentable in appearance. If you are a person of "more mature years" or a senior citizen, do not let this in itself put you off from applying. Providing you are receptive to training you should have no problems. If, however, you are rigid in your ways of thinking and are unwilling to shake off past ways of thinking and behavior, you may have a problem. For instance, we have reluctantly had to fail some experienced teachers and lecturers! On the other hand, our greatest "star" was a retired head teacher - an extremely broad-minded one. The last examples concern people who have taught before. If you have never taught before, you are "an empty vessel" as far as teaching is concerned and are not "carrying around any baggage"; you may ironically be at an advantage.

The apartments are located in a privately run guest house in the neighborhood of Loran. Accommodation in Alexandria consists of a private bedroom located in a shared, two- or three-bedroom apartment. Each apartment has a furnished sitting room, a bathroom with hot water and a well equipped kitchen. Bedding is provided but you will need to bring towels. The rooms will be cleaned and the linens changed once a week. Restaurants and other facilities are within easy access. The training center and accommodation are located at Bianky, a beach resort area 15 kilometers to the west of Alexandria's city center. Our campus is located 200 meters away from Paradise Beach. You will enjoy the laid back green surroundings with easy access to Paradise private beach most of the year. Some classes will also take place in our EFL School in the Stanley area of Alexandria's city center.
