How the Internship Works!

i-to-i has teamed up with a TTC, the 2011 winner of the ASEAN Outstanding Business Awards, to provide you with the best of both worlds on this internship: top notch TEFL training from i-to-i and a reputable TEFL internship program in China from TTC!

Before You Set Off to China:

If you're not already qualified, i-to-i can provide you with extensive TEFL training, to make sure you’re prepared for your first day in the classroom. i-to-i can provide you with:

• 140 hours of comprehensive TEFL training You’ll do your 20 hour Classroom Course in Beijing before your internship starts!
• Expert tutor advice and tips from the i-to-i TEFL team
• Instructions on the next steps to complete your application for the TTC Program

Once you’ve sent your application form and documentation through to TTC, they’ll work with you directly to organize your internship placement, sort your visa and make sure you have all the information you need to arrive in China full of confidence and ready to teach!

When You Arrive in China:

As an expert in organizing cultural programs in China, TTC’s TEFL internship will give you the opportunity to spend an extended length of time in China, while also racking up those hours of real teaching experience. Here’s what you get:

• A reputable internship setup for you 5 months in China and over 200 hours of practical teaching experience
• 24/7 in-country support + local support This is where you’ll see the benefit of travelling on an internship program. TTC are there to support you during your placement, whatever should happen. You’ll also have a local contact at your school to help you with any issues

This allowance will be prorated (if you were to work half a month, for example, you'll receive half a month's allowance). It's important to note that the cost of living in China is considerably lower than that in  western parts of the world - a bottle of mineral water can cost less than 5RMB
• Accommodation + food provided You’ll live in a private bedroom in shared accommodation and receive all meals Mon – Fri at your school, or a meal allowance
