TEFL Training in Surabaya
It began in 2007.
We’ve been working with TEFL International to maintain a training center in Surabaya. Our first trainees were a mix of foreign and local students.
It’s a pattern that has repeated though each course that followed. We train local(Indonesian) teachers and foreign teachers.

Last week was ...
