 “Receiving my Via Lingua CTEFL from ELS Language Centers in Panama was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. The course was intensive and thorough, yet concise and convenient. The design of the course, including teacher observations, and lesson planning activities, ensured that I would build enough confidence to successfully teach my own courses. The best part was the trainers. They are knowledgeable, passionate, professional, witty, fun and, most importantly, caring. It was apparent they were there to expand our knowledge of the English language and groom me to be an excellent ELT teacher.I benefited from my experience immensely; I grew as a person and realized I had skills I never knew existed. I am so grateful for the experience.” Emily O’Neal |

Susan QuamI am planning to move to Boquete, Panama, and I want to teach English. Where is the best place to receive certification? It appears I will need a travel visa and then change to a work visa when I obtain a job. Is this correct?
