Teacher Training Directory
Gone are the days when an English speaker seeking a life of travel and adventure could pursue a successful career as a Teacher of English as a Foreign/Second Language without experience or qualifications. Almost all employers now seek teachers with a TEFL/TESL qualification plus experience, in addition to a first degree. Many even insist on an MA Linguistics/TEFL/TESL postgraduate qualification.
With an average of 63 applications for each EFL/ESL post advertised, it is now more important than ever before for the TEFL/TESL professional to participate in a recognised course and gain a qualification in Teaching English as a Foreign/Second Language.
The TEFL.com Teacher Training Directory is organised according to country/location. Simply select the country/location in which you wish to study, from the Course Locations menu on this page, and hit "go!". Remember that several organisations also offer online/distance teacher development programmes. These courses may also be accessed from the locations menu.
