“It has been my pleasure to run training sessions with NELC’s excellent teachers over the last few years. Their online courses, highly trained and experienced teachers, and interesting tailor-made online learning materials mean that NELC’s online classes are relevant, enjoyable, and – most important – highly effective. Well done NELC!”

It’s always a pleasure to work with a group of teachers like this.”
