About

There is a huge demand for English teachers around the world, you can work in public schools, language centres, summer schools and universities with students of all ages and abilities.

With a TEFL qualification you can then go on to live and work in countries such as Spain, Vietnam and Madagascar, or stay right at home and teach English online. A TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course equips you with the skill set and knowledge to teach English to non-native speakers all over the world.
