I've done the full-time course in January. First of all, the course is hard, but very rewarding at the same time. In our group were three non-native speakers (me being one of them), and one of them came out top of the class in the language awareness test (i.e. grammar) as the 'Grammar Queen', one native speaker failed the grammar exam. If you think the starter pack is hard, think again - by the end of the course you need to know all those things by heart. On day one there is a Starter Pack Test - this test is only done to make you aware of the areas to work on.
Asking others for their notes is not going to help you, you'll be graded on your teaching practice (you have to teach eight lessons, lesson topics will be given to you, often you have to create your own material) language awareness, a profile of one learner (you can choose that person) and several other tasks (guided observation, peer observation, etc.).
You will find that English for Asia is the Hong Kong course provider of Trinity College London. At the end of each course Trinity sends a moderator - the moderator has the last word on who passes and who needs a referral (i.e. has to do part of the course again in order to pass).
Gruntfuttock will probably argue with you about this (btw, I was the grammar queen I mentioned in my earlier post )
I'm a native German speaker, English is my second language and I am fairly fluent nowadays in Putonghua - my German is a bit rusty though.
What really bugs me at times is, native English speakers criticizing or ridiculing non-native English speaker's English. It doesn't help them, it just makes them feel bad. If they need advice, they will ask. I had Mr Elle correcting my English for many years, but I asked him to do so. For years my biggest mistake was to modify a verb with an adjective instead of an adverb - this is how it is done in German. I mastered pronouncing the 'th' without problems, the 'w' is still an issue though - Mr Elle still points that out from time to time.
Your teaching practice makes up almost of your total grade, 15% is the Language Awareness exam and 15% is the Learner Profile.
