The teaching practices were really great and learning the different teaching methods was good at engaging everyone in teaching and learning.  The materials were very organized and I will be using the book for many lessons. There were specific things to learn every class and most classes were engaging and also gave us time to work on our teaching classes. Brooke Gontarek, USA.

I think the IBERO TEFL course was very informative and practical – material was useful and getting the opportunity to teach and watch others teach was invaluable! Very friendly and accommodating staff, building was well kept and cool with air conditioning! Schedule worked well. My teacher was very prepared and she structured class well – the time passed quickly. She included lots of games and activities and I also appreciated prep time she allowed.  Jillian Meade, USA.

I am very pleased with my experience at ÍBERO- I had been to one other school and this was the best. The course is very well run. My professor was obviously very experienced, a consummate professional and managed to keep the class interested and motivated throughout.

James Hubbard, USA

There are books for each of the respective eight levels of Spanish taught in our school.

Íbero also specializes in a number of other professional and accredited offerings apart from Spanish classes. 

Our Íbero TEFL Certification Program provides training for aspiring English teachers, and even helps with local job placement..
