Where Can I Do My TEFL Training?

Courses, courses, everywhere!

Today, if you searched for a TEFL course, you would be faced with a bewildering array of choices. Many companies advertise a variety of TEFL courses: online courses, weekend courses, a combination of online and weekend, not to mention the 4-week intensive courses held in local and exotic locations around the world. In fact, search for too long on the Internet and you can be forgiven for feeling like a small child that’s stumbled upon Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory!

Think carefully about the type of course you choose…

Before committing yourself financially to a course of any kind, you’ll need to consider your options carefully. Factors such as the country you want to teach English abroad in, how far you wish to pursue a TEFL teaching career, the financial resources you have at your disposal, time, and preference of study, will all influence your final decision. If you want to teach for a year or less in an exotic location, you may not need the full 4-week course; a weekend certificate could be enough. So do some research: email or ring up local language schools or ask on Internet forums!
