That’s a YES! Here’s why:

• More and better job opportunities
  If you have already taken a look at teaching job boards, you have seen that most of them require a TEFL certificate for you to be eligible to take the position. Most of these agencies that list teaching positions are international and they will get your paperwork ready for you to be able to enter the country the position is available in.

  We all know that you get what you pay for! Paying for a TEFL certificate does not come cheap. Yet, you get a hefty compensation for having the certificate. International schools and teaching institutes will pay more because you have more skills and are more valuable to their students.

• Acquire the skills and knowledge to teach beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels
  It’s right that many of the teaching jobs you see online are for young learners, yet you can find classes for intermediate and advanced learners. Not to forget that you need to be prepared and ready to teach higher levels, and our course prepares you for that. In addition to teaching higher-level students, you will get higher compensation.
