A: There is a maximum class capacity of 20 and a minimum of 4 people per classroom. If the minimum number of students is not met, the course is cancelled 21 days before the course date and students moved on to the next available course.

A: To qualify for most foreign TEFL jobs, we advise students to complete our recommended 120 hour TEFL course, as this is the minimum requirement for the majority of TEFL employers.

If you wish, you can enhance your TEFL employability by completing more hours of study with a premier 140-hour or 150-hour course.

It is important to understand, before beginning your TEFL course that many countries require a university degree for visa purposes. This is mostly true of Asia and the Middle East, but some European countries like Greece and South American countries like Brazil, also have this as a requirement. Therefore, if you have a specific country in mind you would like to teach in, make sure you research if you are eligible for a working visa.
