Hello!! I have just signed up for a Online TEFL course and seem to getting on ok so far. I decided to do the TEFL course as I have always wanted to work abroad. As I have teaching experience I feel that the TEFL course is suitable for the type of work I would like to do. I think this is a great opportunity for anybody wanting to teach and to become qualified as a TEFL English teacher and gain employment abroad. I am 23 years old and currently work in a small vocational college teaching key skills part time, I also work in the administration department college. I have worked for the college for around 7 years and have been teaching for 5 years.
I feel I need to move on from my job and also think its time for a change in my life to venture out into the world to experience different countries and cultures. I feel confident to do so. I can't wait to become certifed and begin searching for employment. I am not quite sure where I would like to teach yet, need to do a little more research... I like the sound of China or Japan. Im sure I will make the right choice when it comes to it!

Well hello! How've you been? xxx
Hi Charm711, I noticed you asked kande54 about the classroom course. You can do the classroom course at any stage... it could be the first thing you do, it could be the last. A few people (including myself) did it before having done any of the online training and had no trouble at all. The weekend course is a heap of fun and it's all about learning how to best teach and engage your students, and putting this into practice. You will love it, and while you may be a little nervous now, you'll soon realise there's no reason to be... it's a very relaxed and fun environment!
Hi Charm, thanks for the add. How are you getting on with your course?
