British Council - opens more doors to TEFL jobs

Why is British Council acceptance important?

Simple! MORE TEFL JOB OPPORTUNTIES.

The following is a statement from the British Council teaching English Accreditation Unit in reference to their acceptance of the College of Teachers Advanced Certificate in TESOL. EBC comments regarding points 2. and 3. shown in square brackets [].

British Council teaching English certificate recognition

The College of Teachers does validate courses which we recognise. However you will need to ensure the course that is validated by them also fulfils our other criteria, points 2 and 3:

2. contain at least six hours supervised teaching practice (i.e. teaching practice where a qualified assessor observes the trainee teacher teaching real students and gives feedback on his or her performance)
[The EBC course meets this requirement]

3. contain at least 100 hours of ELT/TESOL input.
[The EBC course meets this requirement]

The British Council is the UK's international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations.

Why is this important to you?

In four words - MORE TEFL JOB OPPORTUNTIES.

The Advanced Certificate in TESOL opens doors to jobs with LANGUAGE SCHOOLS and with the British Council. The British Council is an international organisation that has schools in 109 countries around the world with good pay and conditions.

  1. The Advanced Certificate in TESOL that we award  is one of very few certificates that meets British Council standards and is truly internationally recognised.
  2. The Advanced Certificate in TESOL will enable you to apply for teaching jobs in British Council accredited schools in 109 countries.
  3. The British Council will ONLY hire teachers that have a certificate that meets its requirements.

Just about any country you want to teach in will have a British Council accredited school in it somewhere. Many language schools around the world, that you also qualify to work for, use the British Council requirements as their own standard for hiring.

You don't have to be British to work for the British Council !

We have had course graduates hired to work in British Council schools from the USA, Canada, Singapore and Australia.

Don't limit your job choices!

"EBC has wonderful trainers who are professional and very knowledgeable. The course is truly geared towards helping you to find a job right away. I have been surprised by how much I have learned and how well prepared to teach the tutors have made me."
