We at English Access Gauteng hope to help many of you achieve your 2019 goals with our “10% End of Year Discount”. Book from any of our courses between now and 31 December and you will receive this discount to grow through language. Whether you are wanting to learn English in South Africa, teach English abroad, learn a foreign language, or improve your Business English, we are here to help you through our effective training courses.

In fact just recently South African Tourism conducted an inaugural tourism mission to the Middle East in a bid to encourage Middle Eastern countries to visit South Africa. Hanneli Slabber. General Manager: Middle East, Asia and Australasia at South African Tourism says, “We enjoy a high number of visitors from the region, and we have outstanding business and leisure opportunities for the Middle East segment and we consider it a valuable spot for our “Learn South Africa” programme. With a similar time-zone, Halal and Muslim-friendly locations and potential for more inward tourism from an under-served Middle East market, we are well poised for an even stronger tourism foothold.”
However, if you are already living in South Africa and wanting to improve your English, don’t delay. Book your course, and come and meet new people. We maintain a great balance of professional classroom learning, and social integration. And when you are not learning or socializing with us, perhaps you would like to explore the many wonders of South Africa.
If you are wanting to spread your wings and fly, we are also offering you a 10% end of year discount on our TEFL courses. The TEFL course is designed for native or fluent English speakers with or without previous teaching experience and the TEFL course equips you to pass on English language skills to foreign students.
Students should be mother tongue speakers or have an excellent command of English. People who want to teach in Japan, Korea or Taiwan need to have a Bachelors degree in any discipline as well as a TEFL certificate for teaching English. There are however countries such as Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam that only require teachers to have a TEFL certificate. Teaching TEFL is a great stepping stone to getting started or changing careers, as well as a gap year programme.
There are also great opportunities for English speaking foreigners to study TEFL and then to teach English in South Africa once you have completed a TEFL certificate.
The English Access Gauteng TEFL Certificate equips you with the necessary theory and practical experience required to teach English here or abroad.
Or perhaps, learning a foreign language such as Portuguese or Zulu is on your radar. Conversational Zulu can surely help you integrate with the locals. Nelson Mandela Mandela once said, “If you speak to a man in a language he understands it goes to his head. If you speak to him in his language it goes to his heart.”
English Access Gauteng also offers a “Business English Course” which is aimed at first or second language users who need to improve their English skills to cope more effectively in the working environment. Grammatical errors, long and complex sentences do not only muddy a message but they can tarnish your business image. Your success in achieving competent and effective messages depends on your degree of proficiency in English. Let us help you achieve this by registering today.
Before signing off we would love to wish you all a happy end to 2018, and a prosperous 2019! If you are going away please be safe and we hope you have found your course and we see you on campus next year!
