What qualifications do I need to
do the course?
You need to have an educational level that would enable admission to
higher education. It is not necessary to be a college graduate.
Do I need to be a native speaker
of English?
We welcome applicants from non-native speakers with a proficient
level of English. The great majority of our trainees are from
the USA, the UK, Ireland, Canada or Australia, but people whose
first language is not English have successfully completed the course
in Corinth, including people from Greece, the Netherlands, Denmark,
Slovenia and the Philippines.
If English is not your first
language you must either have an internationally recognized
qualification in English at C2 level, such as Cambridge
Proficiency, or complete a pre-course task and interview before your
application is accepted.
Is there an age limit?
You must be at least 18 years of age for your application to be
considered. There is no upper age limit. The majority of our
trainees are in their 20's, 30's and 40's, but we have successfully
trained and found employment for graduates in their 50's and 60's.
Our youngest trainee so far in Corinth was 19, and our oldest was
71.
Is there an online option?
No. The practical teaching experience you acquire on the course
teaching real students is the
most important element of a TEFL course and is what future employers
will be looking for.
Does the course meet
international guidelines?
Yes. Internationally accepted guidelines state that the course must have
100 hours of input with 6 hours of teaching practice and be
externally monitored. The CTEFL course has, in fact, 120 hours of
input and a minimum of 10 hours teaching practice as well as being
externally moderated.
When is the best time to do a
course?
If you aim to stay in Greece and start work on completion of the
course, the best time is July or August as this is when jobs are
available with a September start. Countries in different
hemispheres have different academic years and tend to hire year
round anyway, on an as needed basis, so if you are flexible about
your choice of destination, you will find a job at any time of year..
What are the chances of finding a
job after completing the course?
Excellent. We appreciate that for most people, the main reason for
taking a TEFL course is to get a job. The demand for teachers
is so high in many countries, that we are able to offer guaranteed
employment on successful completion of the course.
