Should I complete a TEFL course?

• Having a TEFL qualification is not always necessary but having one can help build your confidence, prepare you for the classroom and may help you attract job offers from employers. Find out more about TEFL qualifications here.

Travel Insurance

• Some jobs overseas will provide you with a degree of health insurance. However it is important to know that this is NOT a substitute for travel insurance. We recommend that you purchase Travel Insurance before you travel to any country. Travel insurance can cover you for everything from losing your bags to potential repatriation back to the UK.
