Gaining a TEFL certification online is now the most popular option among our course trainees worldwide. If you were to ask every trainee why they chose an online course you would get many different answers, but one that most people mention is the convenience of being able to complete the training from any location you choose. As long as you have an internet connection there is nothing stopping you from studying at home, during breaks from work, or while traveling. The other main benefit of online study is the high level of flexibility involved. ITTT online TEFL courses have no fixed timetable of study and no set times when you have to be online, you decide for yourself when and how much you study. It is entirely up to you.

If you plan to teach in your home country or you are yet to decide on a location, taking an online TEFL course might be a good way to start as it offers a flexible and convenient route towards certification. How does an online TEFL course work? How does an in-class TEFL course work? How does a combined TEFL course work? How will I receive my TEFL certification? If you have a specific destination for teaching in mind it is often best to head there or to a nearby location to complete an in-class TEFL course. Following this path will allow you to find a suitable job in your preferred area and you will be more than ready to start teaching as soon as your course is complete. The third option is a combined TEFL course that tackles all the theory of teaching online and then concludes with a...  [Read more]

If you enroll on a TEFL or TESOL certification course with ITTT you get to decide which acronym you have printed on your certificate. Either TEFL or TESOL is fine as they are used interchangeably throughout much of the English language teaching world. However, if you have a clear plan as to where you want to work, it is worth doing a bit of research to see which of the two is more commonly used in your chosen destination. If most employers are asking for TEFL qualified teachers in their job adverts then it makes sense to go with that option, and vice versa if TESOL certificates are more common.

Dan Sloat Destinations Alumni Experiences Volunteer teaching in Nepal is thoroughly rewarding! The need for engaging and enthusiastic teachers is so great and the positive impact you can make, even in a short period, is significant. Personally, I had a modest classroom of 16 students comprising a broad range of ages and competency. Those kiddos were quite a handful, but being their teacher was an incredible privilege. Their maturity was striking and yet, at the end of the day, they are still growing boys. They would get rowdy at times and often pulled pranks on each other. I loved their curiosity, their excitement for learning, and their playful spirits. Between lessons they would often draw pictures for me. I suppose I'm the snowman-looking character, left of the car, in this one on...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Being a teacher is not like any other jobs. For example, if you are an engineer and you don't like your job, you can still manage to go to work but to be a teacher, you have to love what you do. It is just like being a mother of 20-30 children. You have to take care of them one by one. You have to be their psychologist, mentor, and idol at the same time. It's not something that you can do just for the money; at least if you're good at your job. That is why being a volunteer in teaching is an excellent way of making this planet better. There are a few reasons to be a volunteer teacher and this essay will mention some of them. All About Love Traveling New Connections Conclusion Do you want to teach English all over the globe?

For Americans planning to teach English abroad, obtaining a criminal background check is often a critical part of the job or visa application process. Countries like South Korea, a major hub for foreign English teachers, mandate this check for securing an official work visa. Likewise, various nations and schools have similar prerequisites.
