Getting started is easier than you think. Provided you're a fluent English speaker, you can take an accredited TEFL course for less than ￡200.
With a TEFL Scotland qualification under your belt, the world is literally your oyster because you'll be given access to dozens of TEFL jobs both in the UK and abroad.
A life in TEFL
Life as a TEFL teacher is fun and rewarding. Don't just take our word for it, check out the experiences of former TEFL Scotland students who have gone on to become successful English teachers in all four corners of the world.
Teaching English as a foreign language is a flexible career choice that gives you the reward of working in a professional environment, but also provides you with travel and cultural experiences few other jobs can rival. Once qualified, you can choose to settle in one country or work your way across the world. En route you'll teach English to students of all nationalities who are eager to learn – making a career in TEFL one of the most fulfilling in the teaching industry.
