"The Language1st program has been outstanding, and I would recommend this course to all! The Class system for Web students has been nothing short of direct and worker friendly to many of us with long hours on the job, the encouragement and support as well as, careful planning and outline of the course work and what is to be expected. Constant reminders from Rhoda and Mr. Ricardo about scheduling and overall time completion of the course, Simply amazing." -Greggy Lee
"At first I thought this course program probably wouldn't help me, but I was totally wrong. I learned so much and I'm sure everything I have learned will be put to use. Unit 5 was really helpful to me in my lesson planning and provided vital details on why we should plan, the importance of planning. I realized that after this course program, students aren't the only ones that needs to learn, we as teachers need to continue learning and developing our studies as well. I will definitely encourage and challenge anyone who doubts this program, because this program is no joke. Grace and Peace." -Jerry Yang
"Thank you very much. I'm really very happy to have finished this course with good feedbacks from you. It was really a nice experience as I was able to review and practice my skills in using the English language through the lessons and tasks that you have provided. Thank you for all your help and support. :)" -Joyce Vivian Perez
"At first I was a little reluctant about taking a TEFL course online. Unsure about the quality of the instruction and the content. However, I was pleasantly surprised that both the content and instruction were far more comprehensive than I believed it would be. The course was very detailed, and I picked up a lot of important information. Now I can use what I learned from this TEFL course to improve on the quality of my classroom content, as well as modify my own teaching styles and approaches to help my students better achieve their educational goals. Thank you Language1st. " -Mark David Ukrainetz
"Language first has been great! But more especially Ricardo and Rhoda! Without them I would not have stayed as motivated as I did. They helped me every step of the way and guided me along my journey with Language1st. The team is understanding, compassionate and patient. Although there was a vast distance between us, it felt as if my instructor (Ricardo) was always next to me. Their response times are great and you never have to worry about derailing on the way, as Ricardo is always there to provide every learner with all the help they need. I found the learning material to be of a top quality. I have definitely learnt skills that I will apply to my future teaching career as I have the foundation I need thanks to Language1st. You'll never go wrong choosing Language1st and I will definitely be furthering my studies with this fine institute. You will find a friend in everyone you deal with at Language1st, that's what makes the experience so unique."
"All the best guys and may you grow from strength to strength! Stay humble and keep on educating!" J

"It gives me a great pleasure to extend a hearty thanks to the institute Language1st, in their support in assisting me in obtaining my TEFL Certification. I can indeed say that registering with Language1st not only empowered me with knowledge needed to facilitate effective classroom teaching, but it has broadened my awareness in terms of the various approaches to learning and teaching. In addition to that, the course itself was structured in such a way that I was able to work on my own pace and if needed the instructor (Ricardo), was helpful in assisting me where necessary. I think for me personally it was a good challenge in discovering my own views and learning style, which enabled me to better understand strategies in regard to teaching and facilitating. With this said, I look forward to approaching the classroom environment with greater confidence. Thank you so much."
