A CUT ABOVE THE REST – OUR 10 ADVANCED CERTIFICATIONS

We offer our trainees the opportunity to complete up to 100 additional hours during our TEFL course in order to complete the 10 advanced certifications we offer at no additional cost. The advanced certifications are Teaching Business English, Teaching Young Learners, Teaching English for Academic Purposes, Teaching English for Special Purposes, Teaching English to Online Students, Tutoring EFL Students, Teaching Preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC & PET. But what exactly does this mean? 

  • Firstly, the content covered will be essential preparation for teaching in any of these areas. Teaching Business English and Teaching to Young Learners are of obvious benefit, however there is also a huge demand for international exam preparation such as IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC & PET. Preparing students to take these exams is very different to standard ESL teaching which is why they require specialization by the teacher. 
  • IELTS (International English Language Testing System)  and TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) are both used to assess the language ability of candidates wishing to study and/or work in countries such as the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada etc.  
  • The advanced certifications that you complete will be listed on your TEFL certificate and will be a huge advantage in a competitive teaching market as they can ensure a better teaching position and salary. 
  • Other TEFL providers certainly offer some or all of these advanced certifications, however we challenge you to find them offered during your TEFL course and at no extra cost. Think of it as our gift to you, as you step out into the world of teaching and beyond. 
  • Trainees who do not complete the advanced certifications during the course time are given one month from when they finish their TEFL course to complete them.

OUR INCREDIBLE JOB PLACEMENT, ASSISTANCE & SUPPORT 

Most TEFL providers will offer job placement or assistance however this is often simply a contact list of the different schools and institutes in the country you’d like to teach in. This is what makes the job placement we provide so exceptional; the Director of Paradise TEFL, our parent company, uses his international network of contacts to personally find the right job for you. An important part of our application process is finding out where you are interested in teaching, so that from the moment you enroll we are able to start looking for a suitable position based on your background and preferences. You can even be put in contact with past students who are working or have worked in the country you’re interested in, so that you can find out firsthand what it is like to teach there. This service and support is worth its weight in gold, and you will also benefit from our lifetime job support in the future when you seek another position. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact us.
