TESOL success
This message is from Ms Renee Agnew to the Faculty of Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages - TESOL IV
"G'day from Jakarta Indonesia,
My Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) qualification has put me in great demand here in Jakarta. I am currently working for The School of International Languages ... My schedule is quite hectic with a large variety of different classes held both on and off campus. I am teaching on-campus classes: General English, Business English and Conversaton and In-company class PT Ericsson Indonesia. I am also lecturing at a University Prasetiya Mulya in Inter Personal Dynamics. The university has an excellent reputation, one the most prestigeous private universities in Indonesia. I also have a Cambridge class on Saturdays... so as you can imagine, it's all a bit overwhelming but so very exciting. The money is excellent too! I hope this message finds you all well? I will pop in to say G'day around Christmas when I will return to Australia for a short holiday. Take care for now, Kind Regards, Renee."

Gold Coast Institute of TAFE has much to offer
"I could have gone straight to university but decided to come to Gold Coast Institute of TAFE first to gain a good foundation in my field. I've found 50% of the course content fits the first year in the BA Exercise Science. The vocational placement with handicapped kids is giving me experiences towards my dream career and without TAFE's help I could never have gotten work as a volunteer gym instructor at one of the local gyms."

I could have gone to university but ...
"I had a letter of offer to go to university but chose Gold Coast Institute of TAFE because the course is practical and specific to what I want to do, and I have easy access to facilities. If I still want to go to uni afterwards, I can, or I can start working straight away."
