Response from Teach Away
Hi Imren,
Congratulations again on completing the course! We are pleased that you were able to move through the course quickly and that you found it interesting and educational.
I myself taught in Europe so I am pleased to hear that's where you are looking to teach. I like to advise students that hiring practices are different in different places so you'll find that openings in Europe will appear less frequently on most job boards. Moreover, you may be competing with native and near-native English speakers from Europe. But landing a job there is absolutely possible!
We encourage our graduates to begin their job search with Teach Away, but with this TEFL certificate, you can apply to jobs anywhere and through any company!
Our focus is to provide TEFL training for its students and the OISE TEFL team does not recruit for teaching positions, but we can certainly be a resource when beginning your job search.
We hope that helps to broaden your search and allow you to find those positions in Europe. And we look forward to being in touch soon to help you get started!
Best,
Elspeth
