Kick-start your TEFL career today!
More people than ever are embarking on a new career teaching English as a foreign language. The accredited TEFL courses provided by TEFL Scotland equip students with the knowledge and experience they need to secure employment as a TEFL teacher both in the UK and abroad.
Indeed, much of the appeal of a career in TEFL are the many opportunities it affords for travel and culture. Demand for English language tuition has never been greater, and there's no shortage of places to teach with TEFL Scotland graduates landing jobs in Asia, Europe, Africa and South and Central America.
You can read about former TEFL Scotland students who have gone on to teach abroad here. While our graduates come from all kinds of backgrounds, all share a love of travel and adventure and are looking to combine this with a career teaching English.
Take Davie, a former primary school teacher in Dumfries and Galloway who landed his first TEFL job in Mexico after completing a TEFL Scotland weekend course. "It had always been a dream of mine to travel to a Spanish speaking country to learn the language and culture", says Davie. "I am getting great experience teaching in all sorts of situations. I am teaching small groups of six to nine year olds, larger classes of high level business English and everything in between."
TEFL – a career for all
Students taking a TEFL Scotland course are tutored by respected industry professionals with over 30 years combined experience teaching English as a foreign language and teacher training.
On successful completion of their course, which combines short classroom-based studies with online training, TEFL Scotland graduates are equipped with a fully accredited and highly regarded qualification that will help them secure their first teaching position.
The training you'll receive is designed specifically for those with little or no previous teaching experience. In addition to in-depth study of TEFL methodology, students also learn how to plan and present lessons in practical workshop sessions.

“Our tutor made us feel at ease while still filling us full of information and providing us with the skills we may need for teaching in almost any situation. The whole weekend was better (and less scary!) than expected.” Laura Haig, Fife
