Discover how Shane Training Centre has helped aspiring ESL teachers achieve their dreams.

At Shane Training Centre, our graduates are our greatest success stories. Over the years, we’ve guided countless individuals through their TEFL journey, equipping them with the skills and confidence to teach English in Japan and around the world.

Here’s what some of our alumni have to say about their experience with us.

  • This course exceeded my expectations, for the high quality and the effect it had on me. Its interactive approach helped me discover my strengths as a teacher. In none of the sessions were we asked to sit down and listen; instead, we were always actively engaged in discussing topics and trying out techniques. Similarly, the teaching practice was a unique opportunity to design lessons from scratch and putting them to the test. Luckily, during all this we were supported by amazing tutors. I am so grateful to them for guiding us through this intense, but unforgettable experience!

    Jennifer Pintar (CertTESOL Course)

  • Even as a teacher with over a decade of experience, I found the CertTESOL course extremely informative and enlightening. Many of us learn on the job, find our way through English grammar and teaching methods as we go, but taking the course gave me a new level of awareness in both areas that I feel have made me a far more conscious-minded teacher. I'd recommend the CertTESOL not only to new teachers but to any experienced teacher looking to order and refine their skills.

    David Moss (CertTESOL Course)

  • The Diploma has been incredibly demanding in terms of time and effort, but ultimately I am glad to have learnt and put into practice a huge range of teaching techniques, with justifications guided by academic research and tested in intense interviews with the tutors and the external examiner. It is now great to be able to use the post-nominal letters LTCL DipTESOL, and I am also considering using the qualification’s 60 master’s level academic credits towards another master’s degree, greatly reducing the time, cost and academic credits required to achieve this.

    Iain Carson (DipTESOL Course)

  • The CertTESOL course has greatly benefited and inspired me as I set to embark on my teaching journey. It is a well-structured course that aims to impart both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the right balance. Much of what was taught could immediately be applied in the classroom during teaching practices which helped build my competence and confidence as a teacher. The instructors involved in the course deserve special mention as they were not only experienced in teaching English, but also highly experienced in training teachers. They have been incredibly supportive and open-minded throughout the course, generously sharing their teaching knowledge and experiences. They have truly inspired me to strive to make the learning process engaging, immersive and about the learners. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone who is passionate about teaching and desires a comprehensive and practical training programme.

    Samantha Liew (CertTESOL Course)

  • It was a very rewarding course for developing my teaching career. The trainers at Shane are very experienced and were extremely helpful in discussing all kinds of topics... not just how to ‘teach', but also how to manage a career path as a teaching professional. The course was challenging but well worth it. I would recommend this course to anyone who has aspirations to become an English teacher, or for other interests.

    Jacqueline (CertTESOL Course)

  • I was initially daunted at the prospect of studying for the DipTESOL nearly 20 yrs after I completed my CertTESOL; however, the course supervisors were incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the course. There are few opportunities for genuine professional development such as this in Tokyo, and while it can be challenging, it is also immensely worthwhile for any English teacher looking to enhance their skills and further their career.
