Teaching English as a foreign language has become extremely popular amongst travellers these last few years.
I have friends in so many countries in Central and South America, mainland Asia and South East Asia that currently work full time as English teachers.
It’s a great job for anyone wanting to live in a specific country, and earn some money at the same time.
Teaching also has many benefits for us.
We learn how to stand in front of a group of people and get a point across.
We gain self confidence, and the ability to hold people’s attention for a given amount of time.
How To Teach English Abroad
If you, like so many others, are looking at getting yourself qualified so you can get outta your current life and start something new, then this article is for you!
Below are SEVEN online schools that will get you certified so that you can land that dream teaching job somewhere around the world.
Tefl.org
Tefl.org is first on my list as I used them to get my 120 hour Premier English qualification.
My whole experience with them from start to finish was great.
From the course content, the layout of the website and the way they structure the courses, to the moderators and help from fellow students, I can highly recommend these guys!
Once you complete your course, a certificate gets posted to your address right away which can be used to get a English teaching job just about anywhere around the world.

My TEFL
My TEFL has a real cool feel about it.
They offer awesome onsite learning courses for those who aren’t that into doing the online stuff.
These onsite courses can be done in certain countries such as Thailand, Argentina, Spain etc.
It’s a good way to get your foot into the door of the English teaching world.
Language House TEFL
The Language House is an American owned company based in Prague, Czech Republic.
You can land a teaching job through their website in Asia, Europe and South America.
