'Teaching English as a Foreign Language' (TEFL)
There is a high demand for English Teachers abroad, especially in countries
such as China, Japan, Thailand, Australia, and in Europe. You can also
teach English as a foreign language in England, for examples: at universities
or language centres.
Training to become an English teacher is a great way to travel the world,
experience new cultures and to meet new people. It also enhances your CV
and looks impressive to future employers.
How does TEFL work?
There are various courses which you can apply for. You can take a course in
person at a specific location, or you can take an online course. There are
also taster days and introduction courses. Below are some examples of the
variety of courses.
In Person:
- 20 Hours, over 2 days (weekend) at a specific venue, such as a hotel
- 4 Week intensive full time course
Online:
The online courses provide you with a 24 hour help desk, and you will be assigned a personal tutor to assist you with any queries.
There is also access to 8,000 + overseas job.
Once you have completed the initial 20 hour course, you can opt to add on
extra hours in person or online. This will further increase your experience
and skills, in return for better job prospects and a higher salary.
