Our 4-week, in-class TEFL courses are currently offered in over 40 locations, in approximately 30 countries across six continents.
The locations of our courses meet the growing demand for TEFL Certification, and demand for English language teachers in these cities, countries and continents.
The composition of the course remains the same in all our TEFL locations, while the course and accommodation fees vary slightly from course to course.

Where to attend your TEFL Course
Many of our trainee teachers remain in the city where they learn their new teaching skills, while some travel to other parts of the country or another country. Where you teach English after your TEFL Course depends on a combination of factors, such as where you would like to teach, how much time you have before you have to begin employment and employment prospects at the time of year.
Asia, South America and Europe consistently show a huge demand for ITTT graduates and you are all but guaranteed a paid teaching position within these continents. We run courses in India and with the booming service industry there, and the need for fluent English speakers, we have found there is a growing demand for English language teachers, and what was once a 'volunteer' orientated job market, it is fast becoming a paid EFL jobs market.
Most course participants have a good idea of where they would like to teach after the course and it is a good idea to attend your TEFL Course in a location, which is at, or close to, your preferred teaching destination.
We do not offer the course in some countries where the demand for qualified English language teachers is huge. This isn't really a problem. We do offer our TEFL Course in locations within all continents where demand for TEFL teachers is high, and where travel to jobs teaching English is low cost and readily available.
