What is the success rate for graduates finding jobs after a TEFL course?
It is impossible to provide a figure for how many of our graduates find work after completing their course as there are many factors to consider. A significant number of our trainees are already employed as teachers before they start a course, while others are not looking to find work until a later date. All we can say is the vast majority of our graduates who take advantage of our job support services go on to find work teaching English at home or abroad.
How soon after completing a TEFL course will I find a job?
As soon as you begin your training course you will be in a position to start applying for jobs that require a TEFL certification. Some trainees are able to find work before they have even completed the course, while most should be able to secure employment within a few weeks of finishing their training.
