The School
TEFL Training Centre
The ITTT training centre is located in the beautiful Manuel Antonio area, in the town of Quepos, right next to the Manuel Antonio beach. The building has nine classrooms, including the TEFL room. The classrooms are open spaces so do not need air conditioning. The TEFL room and the Orientation room have air conditioning.
Inside the building, there are three apartments (available to trainees on a first-come, first-served basis), a large kitchen with a snack bar and free tea and coffee. The institute has a swimming pool. We recommend that each student bring their own pool towel, but we can also provide one at the institute if needed. There are five bathrooms, two downstairs with access for disabled students, and three upstairs. Three of the bathrooms have showers so that trainees can shower if they come from the beach or before/after the pool. The TEFL school building also has a coworking space, in case someone needs it to work.
15 minutes by bus from the public beach of Manuel Antonio, the TEFL training centre building is a five-minute walk from the marina, one or two minutes from the bus station, and there are a couple of pizza restaurants within 15 meters. The building has covered parking with a gate, along with 24/7 security.
