IH Riviera Maya:
IH Riviera Maya provides CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) courses in the centre of Playa del Carmen, just south of Cancún in the north-east of Quintana Roo, on Mexico's idyllic Caribbean coast. The CELTA course provides you with the basic skills and knowledge necessary for a career in TEFL / TESOL is run in collaboration with IH Barcelona, one of Europe's leading training centres for English language teachers.
There are direct flights from most major cities to Cancun International Airport which is just 60 km (40 miles) north of Playa del Carmen.
Playa del Carmen is a marvellous place to spend a month. It has all the advantages of a Mexican Caribbean resort – a dazzling, white-sand beach, turquoise sea, a huge range of bars, restaurants and places to stay – and yet it has managed to retain a relaxed, low-rise village atmosphere which has nothing in common with the large-scale tourist resorts elsewhere on the coast.
There is plenty to do and see in Playa and the town is growing fast. But the atmosphere is anything other than hectic and it is the gentle surf that seems to dominate the pace of life.
