TEACHING JOBS
Traveling is an essential life stage and being certified to teach English abroad offers up to you quite literally a world of possibilities. Not only can you travel the world and earn money - TEFL/TESOL also allows you to get closer to different cultures, meet the local people on a personal level, and have the opportunity to give something to the people you meet. TEFL/TESOL then allows you the option of returning home, should you choose to, with a valuable resume/CV entry.
There is such a huge demand for TEFL/TESOL qualified English teachers globally that you can teach virtually anywhere.
ITTP has listings for teaching jobs and educational contacts/partners in Arab Emirates, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Morocco, Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, Venezuela, Vietnam and many more teaching English global locations. In fact, there is also a high demand for TEFL/TESOL qualified English teachers even in English speaking countries, such as Australia, the U.S. and Britain, where many foreign language students choose to travel to learn English as a foreign language. Recently there have been noticeable trends of ITTP Online and Onsite TEFL/TESOL grads teaching for a period in Central and Eastern Europe/Central Asia/Central America, and then moving to South and North East Asia/Middle East, where salaries are amongst the best in the world for qualified TEFL/TESOL English teachers.
Please note: a University/College degree, as well as international TEFL/TESOL certification, is necessary for the work permit/visa process of some Asian and Middle East countries (including: Japan/S.Korea/Taiwan/Vietnam/Thailand/U.A.E./Saudi Arabia).
Online and Onsite International TEFL/TESOL certification courses MUST be linked to a larger teaching organization. These can include Trinity, Cambridge, The College Of Teachers, or the British Council.
ITTP is Institutional Member of the College Of Teachers, a member of the British Council.
ITTP is also Educational Partner with Cambridge University Press.
Both ITTP Onsite certification courses and ITTP Online/Onsite combination certification course (and the ITTP Online certification courses) lead to the awarding of the internationally recognized TEFL/TESOL certificate and you will be employable worldwide following your course.
It's no good though being linked to a larger teaching organization but lack having job assistance for grads. A job assistance program is essential and it is important to question a school if they can guarantee you a job after. If not, then they might not be internationally recognized.
ITTP provides an extensive job assistance program and to date ITTP has a 100% record of finding its grads, who wish to teach immediately and who are sufficiently active in their search, teaching positions within 4 weeks of finishing their course. This represents ITTP’s global reputation and extensive network of global educational contacts/partners: ITTP sends its grads all over the world.
This applies to both ITTP’s Native English and Non-Native English Onsite and Online TEFL/TESOL grads who take either the Prague Online/Onsite, Prague Onsite – Low Season, Prague Onsite – High Season, (or Online course options).
If you are studying onsite you will receive your international job guidance support in sections of the scheduled 2nd teaching week, combined with personal assistance from the ITTP International Job Guidance Team throughout Weeks 2/3/4.
Neville is International Job Guidance Coordinator and heads the International Job Guidance Team.
Because international job guidance assistance, leading to a guaranteed job, plays such a significant role in both the ITTP Onsite and Online international TEFL/TESOL programs, just the basics are covered in this section.
Please note: ITTP is not an employment agency and we reserve our international job support services specifically for the usage of ITTP Onsite and Online TEFL/TESOL grads only.
For a further early insight into teaching English abroad please feel free to take a look at the ITTP teaching English abroad video and teaching English abroad blog.
The following 2 ITTP grad testimonials show the diversity of teaching English locations and also illustrate the worldwide acceptance of the ITTP Onsite and Online international TEFL/TESOL certificates.
After completing my TEFL/TESOL I worked for ISIS education at Lincoln University teaching Italian students. I then went back out to Thailand and started working at an International school, unfortunately the school closed down and I returned to the U.K. I'm currently working as a one to one tutor and TA within a SEN department and thanks to all the experience I've gained through my TEFL the school has asked me to begin my teacher training in Drama and Performing Arts. I want to say thank you to all of the team at ITTP because without all of your ideas, guidance, support and experience I wouldn't be in the position I am in now.
Lincoln, England
I made the decision to get my TEFL certification after
having completed a BA in Cultural Studies and a MA in
International Politics. While earning my MA abroad in
the Republic of Ireland I was able to immerse myself
in Irish culture in a different way than I had in the
semester abroad during my undergrad. My experience
reignited my interest in living abroad. Because I was
not ready to continue my studies to a PhD level I
began to look into my other options that would allow
me to stay abroad. TEFL became a natural choice.
In my research of TEFL organizations I found a
dizzying amount of options. Unfortunately the majority
of the organizations that I found were expensive,
time-consuming and faraway. While I loved the idea of
traveling again, my finances and large student debt
would not support a $3,000+ program. Luckily I was
able to find ITTP. ITTP's online program seemed
too good to be true. Not only could I work at my own
pace, and complete the program from the comfort of my
own home (while working during the day to earn some
more money), I also wouldn't have to pay a huge amount
of money. It was perfect for me.
I completed ITTP's program after four weeks of
structured and individually paced work. During my
course I was able to work on my own schedule and
complete lessons at anytime during the day. I also
received constant feedback and always felt that I
could get all of my questions answered quickly. Upon
completing my TEFL certification I began to look into
teaching positions abroad.
I eventually settled on a position in Beijing, China.
While in China I was teaching along side other
teachers who had spent up to 5,000 GBP on CELTA
certifications and some who had TEFL degrees. My
ITTP qualification was completely adequate and
I always felt that I had made a great choice in
ITTP. During my teaching experience in China I
was able to teach a variety of classes in both a
public school and a private English school. I enjoyed
my classes immensely, despite their large size (around
50 students in each) and inconsistent resources. I
primarily taught elementary beginner 5-6 year olds and
pre-intermediate 10-11 year olds. During my time in
China I was able to learn more about Chinese culture
and Chinese life than I ever could during a short
holiday vacation.
Shortly after finishing in China I accepted a position
in Northern Poland. I have been teaching in Poland
since the beginning of the year, and already I have
had a very different and fulfilling experience. My
English classes in Poland are primarily focused on
Intermediate level adults, which has been a completely
different challenge than teaching 50 kindergartners -
but one that I have felt prepared to take on. My
certification has shown to be well-worth the cost, as
I once again am working along side 13+ CELTA certified
teachers without a problem.
While I am unsure where my experiences in TEFL will
take me next, I am completely satisfied with my
choices thus far. I couldn't be happier with my choice
to get my certification with ITTP, and I hope
you have the same wonderful experience. Good luck in
your future TEFL career. Enjoy!
