If you are a student taking a gap year and would like to travel or stuck in a career rut and feel the need to travel then you should consider a TEFL course.  TEFL courses (Teach English as a foreign language) can give people a whole new direction with their careers and the opportunity to travel the world while working. All you need is to be able to speak English fluently and obtain an appropriate TEFL certificate.

Seeing the world and experiencing new cultures, making new friends whilst earning cash is such a great opportunity to broaden your knowledge and understanding of the world.

There are 20,000 TEFL and TESOL jobs posted on the Internet every month. The demand for these skills overseas is huge and if you've got your certificate then you're ready to go. You can take an intensive weekend course in the classroom or a longer 3-4 week Online TEFL course and then you are ready to teach.

If you’re from Britain or Ireland with an EU passport, your skills will be in high demand in the European Continents where the local desire to learn “British English” is high. You’ll be able to find TEFL jobs in Europe easily because you do not need a visa. Spain, Italy and Portugal are very popular destinations and Greece, Turkey and Poland also stand out as having a wealth of TEFL job opportunities.

Depending on where you teach, there is a broad difference in teaching opportunities, pay and benefits just like any other job at home. From popular locations such as China, to particularly high salary locations in South Korea and lower paying yet exotic hideaways in the Pacific Islands.
