No previous teaching experience is required. A degree is not required for the TEFL course or for teaching in most countries. Some Asian countries do require that you have a TEFL and a Bachelor's degree. We've had several students without degrees take our course and go on to teach abroad.

It's a benefit, but not required, if you have:

• previous teaching experience
• previous language learning experience
• other professional experience in people-oriented professions
• previous experience living, studying or working in a foreign country

Our TEFL courses include individuals of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities. The TEFL Worldwide trainees are mostly from the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. We've also had students from Singapore, Columbia, Romania, Germany, Belgium, Norway, and several other countries.

Typically the trainees on our TEFL course are individuals who enjoy working with people from different backgrounds and cultures and who want to make a difference by teaching English. Such individuals include professionals who are looking for a change in their career or life, recent college graduates who want to gain international experience and travel abroad before settling into their career, tradesmen and women who want a totally new experience and individuals who would like to spend their retirement years teaching English abroad.
