Importance of English language proficiency in TEFL / TESOL teacher training.
Effectiveness as an English language instructor necessitates a comprehensive grasp of the language. While some countries exhibit a preference for native English speakers, many locales actively seek non-native English speakers equipped with TEFL / TESOL certification. Fluency in English serves as the primary criterion for eligibility to undertake our courses and apply for teaching positions worldwide.
Relevance of academic credentials for TEFL / TESOL teachers.
While certain TEFL / TESOL course providers may stipulate specific qualifications, including a degree in some instances, at ITTT, no such prerequisites exist. Given that many employers do not mandate their teachers to hold a degree or similar certification, we do not require it either. As long as candidates are willing to invest time and effort, we do not require TEFL / TESOL course applicants to have previous qualifications.
Age requirements for TEFL / TESOL course applicants.
The sole age restriction for completing our TEFL / TESOL courses is that applicants must be at least 18 years old upon commencing the course. Importantly, there is no upper age limit. Over time, we have successfully trained individuals of all age groups, most of which have embarked on rewarding careers worldwide. While older teachers may encounter challenges in competitive teaching markets, numerous other opportunities await qualified EFL instructors of all ages.
Considerations regarding TEFL / TESOL employment restrictions.
While our TEFL / TESOL courses have minimal restrictions, it's essential to be mindful of potential constraints imposed by foreign governments or employers. Although thousands of TEFL / TESOL certified teachers work globally without formal degrees, some countries prohibit this practice. Certain nations only permit native English speakers to work legally. It's imperative to research the latest visa regulations in one's desired destination. Even if one's initial choice is unavailable, numerous exciting opportunities exist globally, where a TEFL / TESL qualification is the key to securing a new and fulfilling teaching opportunity.
