FROM REAL ESTATE TO TEFL
| Q. I am 35 years old with an extensive background in Property Consultancy. I have a Bsc degree together with the appropriate formal qualifications for the property profession. I am however seriously considering a career change
into Business English Teaching. My intention would be to take a TEFL/TESL/TESOL course, or possible an MA if appropriate. Can you
please give me an indication of the long term prospects of this career path, as i would intend to continue for life.
A. A preparatory course in teaching Business English is probably your best
first step. You may later wish to go on to do an MA. Regarding career
prospects, Business English is probably one of the most financially
viable sectors of ELT but it also depends very on much on where you are
and how you network. It is a relatively niche market and the competition
can be stiff.
