Teach English Overseas

Teach English Overseas

One of the best ways to earn money overseas is by teaching what you know - English! It also gives you the opportunity to live and breathe a new culture, meet amazing people, push your boundaries and have a great time!

By teaching English overseas you'll earn enough to live comfortably in the country you choose, sustain a healthy travel itinerary and depending on your lifestyle - save a bit too!

Teaching opportunities are available in all non-English speaking countries around the world, although your main teaching options are in countries throughout Asia, South America and Europe, although the latter usually requires an EU passport. We can help you find work through our free job placement service or you can find work yourself. Approximately 20,000 English teaching jobs are posted online each month, so there are plenty of opportunities out there!

However, before you head overseas to teach English it’s highly recommended that you do some TEFL training. With a TEFL qualification on your CV you’ll be able to secure a better teaching position, get much improved benefits (salary, bonuses, hours etc) and just as importantly, know what you’re doing in the classroom.

The amount of study needed (measured in hours) varies from country to country, but generally you’ll need at least 120 hours to give yourself the best chance of getting a good job in a competitive market such as Asia or Europe. In less competitive markets such as South America you may be able to get by on as little as 20 hours of in-class training, but as a rule of thumb, the more you learn the more you can earn.

We have TEFL courses ranging from 20 hours through to 140 hours and in-class and online options. For specific information about each TEFL course please select from the list below: (link through to specific course page)

  • 20 hour Classroom Course
  • 60 hour Online Course
  • 120 Online Course
  • 140 Hour Combined Classroom and Online Course

So what are you waiting for? Start your TEFL course and get the wheels in motion for the trip of your lifetime!

 Note: Online TEFL courses can be commenced at any time and you have 3 months to complete the course from date of purchase. In-Class courses are held regularly in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide throughout the year. Your TEFL qualification is valid for life.
