Thank you for your wonderful learning experience.

The English spoken by the two teachers is very easy to hear,

I was able to learn in a familiar, fun and game-like way.

It was a very good rehabilitation for me who was away from English.

I would like to continue to enjoy learning.

Thank you for this course. When I look back at my old resume, I can't believe I ever got a job using it.

This new and improved resume is great, and I feel so much more confident handing it out to employers. Thank you for all the helpful tips, they will definitely come in handy.

Excelente curso, muy bien organizado y de muchísima calidad audiovisual y comunicativa. Además, tiene la particularidad de ser muy pragmático , porque el estudiante puede actualizar su hoja de vida laboral y un panorama muy claro del proceso para ingresar al mundo del trabajo.

Un curso muy claro, si hablas español y piensas en conseguir empleo en USA, sea presencial o a distancia, es muy útil ya que te enseña cómo preparar tu CV, carta de presentación y las formas correctas de hablar, ropa y frases para utilizar dentro de una entrevista de trabajo.

I really liked it. I learned English when I was young. So the course helped me to remember a lot of things and the most important thing: learn new ones. In the end I learned how to write my resume, cover letter, apply for a job and behave during a job interview. Thanks a lot!

the best English course I have taken, it helped me to see from another perspective the future work situations, and how to answer the questions of the job interviews, where I realized that no matter the country where you live, they are almost always based on the same process.

A few years ago I got a new position in the company and was promoted with a work team that was also new, so I had to make an effort to get them to adapt as soon as possible, focusing on motivational talks and one-on-one coaching, which that helped us reduce the learning gap
