Accreditation:
The 4-week TESOL teacher training certification course (here on Queen Street, in Auckland, New Zealand) is approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority under the provisions of the Education Act 1989, and Aspire New Zealand: Creative Education and ESL Learning Centre Ltd., is accredited to teach it. The TESOL Qualification is internationally recognised.
The Auckland Region of New Zealand is truly a special place. Auckland is New Zealand's largest urban area with a population of approximately
1.3 million people. It is not, however, the capital of New Zealand, although it
was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland city is the
centre of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most vibrant, bustling and
multicultural city in New Zealand. Auckland is the biggest Polynesian city in
the world, and this cultural influence is reflected in the many different
aspects of city life. The city's landscape is dominated by volcanic hills, many of which were once the site of Maori pas, or fortifies villages. Auckland's nickname "The City of Sails" is very appropriate as Auckland has more boats per capita than anywhere else in the world. Auckland lies between the Waitemata and Manukau harbours, and its geography is such that glistening waters seem to beckon from every point. Auckland is a water lover's paradise, with some of the best beaches, swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country.
The TEFL International endorsed TESOL Teacher Training Certification course will be delivered at Aspire New Zealand English Language School's Studios located on the famous Queen Street, in The Strand Arcade Building, Level 4, downtown Auckland City.
Aspire New Zealand is the most convenient and central English language school and teacher training institution in Auckland! We are located minutes away from major transport terminals, shops, restaurants, cafe's and bars. Museums, theatres, cinemas and art galleries are all within a few minutes from our Queen Street, Auckland location.

Beyond the Auckland area ...
New Zealand has a distinct culture and heritage. Lifestyles are generally more relaxed and informal than in most other developed countries and New Zealanders are self-reliant and practical, open and hospitable. They tend to have little patience for ostentatious or loud behavior. They also value their families and their leisure time.
New Zealand offers some of the most beautiful and varied Landscapes on earth. You can experience the sights of high snow-capped peaks, hissing glaciers, steep-sided fjords, ancient beech forests, a wild coastline with unusual wildlife, long deserted sandy beaches, alpine meadowlands, wide open sheep country, bubbling hot springs, green lush rainforests and a great deal more.
You can swim with dolphins, gambol with newborn lambs, whale watch or fish for fattened trout or saltwater charter fish.
Because it's such a compact place, travel within New Zealand - whether by plane, bus, rail, car or camper van - is affordable and efficient. Accommodation too is cheap and varied. And the culinary promise of venison, fresh seafood, sublime ice cream and award-winning wines should more than whet the appetite. |
