Interested in teaching abroad during your career break? Wandering what ESOL and CELTA mean? Check out our videos of real teachers who have walked the walked
Are you a graduate who can’t earn a decent wage in your own county? Do you want to travel the world but don’t know how to afford it? Do you want to live and work in exotic locations but not sure how to do it? If the answer to these questions is yes, why not try teaching abroad.
There’s a high worldwide demand for ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses and a shortage of qualified native English speakers to teach them.
If you're a native English speaker, this could be the job for you. But how do you do this?
If you have a degree you can do a CELTA course. CELTA is one of the most highly recognised TEFL courses in the world and when you look on the job board you’ll see a lot of adverts around the world demand you have this qualification.
If you’re not sure if it’s the job for you, check out our videos of people teaching abroad where they tell you the highs and the lows.
The video below is David. Born and raised in Manchester, he couldn’t get a job after graduating, so he did a TEFL course and now lives and works in Vietnam.

As well as 6 hours teaching practice, you also clock up a lot of hours observing others teaching. This is a demanding course, therefore the pass rate is much lower than many of the shorter courses. It was previously known as CTEFLA and the ‘RSA Certificate’
Trinity Cert TESOL
The Trinity Cert TESOL, like the CELTA is a four week very intensive TEFL course that gives you practical and academic experience as well as a recognised certificate if you pass. Like the CELTA, you will get 6 hours of observed teaching practice and many hours observing others teaching.
