 Hello! Hello everybody! Linda here from ITTT. Welcome to another live session this week. Super excited to be here again. If you can see me, if you can hear me, please let me know in the comments. And also let me know where you're watching from right now. Where are you at right now? What time is it there? I'm in South Korea. It's 10 a.m. Friday morning. So I've had some coffee already which means I'm energized and I'm ready to take on your questions today. All right? So yeah guys, thank you so much for tuning in. Let me know where you're watching from. Where are you at? What's happening? Let me know everybody. Today, as usually now, every first Friday of the month, I'm doing a casual Tefal tea salt teaching talk. So you can ask me your questions, anything that you're curious about in terms of teaching Tefal tea salt, everything like that. Today is your opportunity to do so. So we're going to have a casual, what do I like to call it? Yeah, a Tefal chat. So a casual chat today. Yeah, where you have the opportunity to ask me questions. I usually also like to ask you guys some questions. So it is sort of an exchange of thoughts about teaching today. As you can see here, it says teaching English abroad online and everything in between. So today we're going to talk about everything. There is no specific topic for today. As you might know, if you've seen our live sessions before, typically all of our live sessions have a specific topic. But the first Friday of every month, I like to take the opportunity to just have a open Q&A session. Because I think that's really, really important. We get a lot of new viewers, a lot of existing viewers who've been here for a long time already. And yeah, who've come back and watched and watched time after time after time, which is really nice. And we really, really appreciate that. So there are a lot of different questions from different angles. Some who are already Tefal tea salt certified, they're asking about what to do next, what is the next step, what can I do from there? Some people who have not yet had any Tefal or tea salt course experience and they are looking for guidance in that direction. So today, today's session will be great for everybody. Okay. So that's what we're going to do today. And I'm just waiting for some more people to join. And let me know in the comment section where you are watching from right now. Always super curious. If I take a moment, I'm just checking if everything is working correctly. It should be. Yes, I can see, yeah, I can see that everything is working good on my phone as well. So yeah, should be fine. So please come and join. I'm lonely here and we actually also have a question already that somebody put in the comment section a couple of hours before. So I'm also going to answer that in a little bit. But before, let me know where you are, what you're doing, how's your day going? Let me know. And I also want to introduce myself real quick. My name is Linda. If you haven't seen me before, oh, this way, I'm a travel writer and content creator under the name Linda goes east, east, because I've always been super interested in Asia. I'm originally from Germany and the US. My mom is German. My dad is American. But I've been based in South Korea for almost seven years now. And before that, I also spent some time in China. So I'm really interested in Asian culture. And that's why Linda goes east. And if you're interested in learning more about that kind of stuff, what it's like to live in Asia, or Korea specifically, go and check out my website, Linda goes east.com and happy up on Instagram at Linda goes east. I'm always super curious to talk with you. If you have a question that you don't want to ask in public here in front of everybody. That's also cool. Hello. Be happy. Be yourself. Hi. Thanks for joining. Where are you at right now? Cool. And I'm also, this is the other side of what I do, a Tefal and Tefal marketing professional for ITTT. So ITTT, if you didn't know, stands for International Tefal and Tefal Training. A lot of Ts in there. And our website is TefalCourse.net. And on Instagram, we are international at international Tefal training. And we are also on Facebook and on YouTube, where you guys are watching at right now. And what is ITTT? Well, ITTT is a leading Tefal and TESOL course provider worldwide. So we have a wide variety of different course options, some of which I'm also going to go into in today's live session. If you're curious to learn more about the different courses that we offer, what the differences are. And yeah, that's what we do. That's what's happening. And for all the viewers right now, today's a very lucky day for you because we do offer a 30% off opportunity. So what you can do is, and I'm just going to demonstrate that real quick, you can take your phone, you can scan this QR code like this. And then our application page will show up like so, and you can fill out your application for a course and you get 30% off right away. So this would be really great. And if you can't scan the QR code, no problem. We also have a discount link. I'm going to share that in the comments and I see already some questions coming in. So I'm going to get to them in just a second. I just want to share the links real quick. So that looks like this. You copy, paste this link, fill out your application, the application form, and you're also going to get 30% off any Teflortiso course from ITTT today. So if you are thinking about getting a Teflortiso certificate, this is a great opportunity to do so. I have a question here from Bhavna, Bhavna, Bhavna. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry if I butcher the name. But the name is, the question is, hi, I'm from India, which course would be better, Teflortiso. Great question. This is a great question that we always get. And I have a slide that sort of explains it. So let me just grab that slide real quick so I can show you better. Yeah, it's one of the first ones. So the difference between Tefl and Tiso, because you're not sure which one should you get, a Tefl or a Tiso or what. So Tefl stands for teaching English as a foreign language and Tiso stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages. Now, the training that you receive, if you take a Tefl course or a Tiso course is exactly the same. Okay. The training is the same. The units are all the same. It is the exact same course. What is the difference though? So the difference for Tefl, the term Tefl is most commonly used within the UK and Europe while, excuse me, Tiso is usually the preferred acronym in Australia and the USA. So that is the difference and in Canada. So North America and Australia, Tiso, they call it Tiso there whereas in Europe and the UK, they call it Tefl. So that is the difference. The training and the certificate that you receive at the end of the course is the same. You can choose whether your certificate should say Tefl or Tiso on the certificate. You can choose that based on, you know, which acronym you prefer or where you want to go and teach, but it is exactly the same. So I hope that answers your question. So it doesn't matter whether you take a Tefl or a Tiso course. It is the same thing. I hope that makes it clear. All right. Juliana is here as well. Hi, Juliana. She says I'm watching from Illinois. It is still 7 p.m. here. Two weeks later, we will turn back one hour. Okay. Yeah, summer time. Great. Okay. Two weeks later. Uh-huh. Yeah, we don't change the time in South Korea at all. So it will stay the same. So I guess it'd be like you turn it back one hour. So I guess next time when I go live, it'd be 8 p.m. where you are. Not sure. 8 p.m. or 6 p.m. You turn it back. So you turn it to 6 p.m., I guess. So it'd be 6 p.m. I'm a language person, not so much a math person. So, yeah. Okay. So this is Tefl and Tiso. Let's go back to our Q&A slide. And I'm just going to make myself a little bit bigger. We also have a question here. That is the question from Arpita who had the question. And she posted this question in the comments a couple of hours earlier already. So I'm just going to answer this real quick. And I hope Arpita will watch it and will see the answer. But we're also going to get back to all the comments below. Even if you leave a comment later, we always get back to them anyway. So Arpita is asking, after getting a Tefl course certificate, does it mean that person is a Tefl trainer? Good question. So a Tefl trainer is actually a person who trains teachers for Tefl. So if you complete a Tefl course certificate, you will be an EFL teacher, English as a foreign language teacher. You'll not be a Tefl trainer. A Tefl trainer basically teaches people how to become teachers using the Tefl course material, right? So when you complete a Tefl course, you will not be a Tefl trainer. You'll be an EFL teacher. You'll be an English teacher. However, there are many Tefl certified EFL teachers who move on to become Tefl trainers later on. That is one of the career paths that you can take after years of experience and after teaching yourself. You can move on to become a Tefl trainer as well. All right. Then we have a question from Be Happy Be Yourself. Thank you so much for asking. So this person asks, I am a dentist from India who shifted to teaching a few years ago. I want to move to Canada as a TESOL Tefl teacher. Could you tell me the guidelines to work as a trainer in Canada? So every country, every place has different regulations. For Canada, what I always say the best place to start with figuring out work guidelines requirements is the embassy. So I would reach out to your local Canadian embassy in India where you are and ask them exactly this question. And you can also reach out to our job section, for example, or you can Google teaching jobs in Canada and see what their requirements are because sometimes, especially in places like Europe and North America, the requirements are a little bit more strict compared to places in Asia or South America, for example. So you might need to have a bachelor's or a master's in TESOL as well. You might need a teaching license, but it also depends from school to school. So if you find a school that they are happy with your TESOL or Tefl certificate and they want to hire you and sponsor your visa, then that's up to them, right? They can make the requirements and guidelines, the schools. So it depends on that. I cannot give you a perfect answer for that. Right. So adding to that the comment, I reckon my degree has to be in MA English to get a job if I need to migrate TESOL alone, shant help. So it depends on the location, right? If you want to go to, like I said, Asia or Latin America, a TESOL certificate, and typically a bachelor's degree, a four-year degree, that's usually the requirement that's enough. But I imagine that in Canada, it's a little bit more competitive. So you probably, the better, the more qualification certifications and training you have, certainly the better. So yeah. Oh, I have an itchy nose. Excuse me. I have a little bit of a sore throat today. That's why I'm making some strange sounds sometimes. So please bear with me. Okay. Let me read through the questions. All right. We have a question here from Tina or today. I'm not sure. Kayla, I'm sorry if I say that wrong. The question is, once we get a TEFL certificate, will we be able to get a job as soon as possible, whether online or abroad? Good question. And I have a slide for that that can kind of help that. Let me just find, yes, this one. So this is what I call the TEFL teaching English timeline. And I'm just going to make this bigger for you. So this is sort of like the timeline you will go through for the whole process. So the first step would be to choose a TEFL or TESOL course that suits your needs. As I said, we have many different courses. So you need to first gather some information, talk to our consultants about your goals, what you want to do with it so we can help you find the perfect course to achieve your goals. That's the first step. You choose the course. And like I said today, we have 30% off TEFL or TESOL course, any TEFL or TESOL course from ITTT with this link. So you can copy and paste this link or scan this QR code in the upper right hand corner. You can do so as well and get 30% off. That just, I just wanted to mention that. Oh, where was the question? Here. So that's the first step, choosing your TEFL course. The next step obviously will be to work through the units of the course with most courses, most of our courses, you have six months time to complete the course. So this is great for anyone who is working, who doesn't have that much time. When I took the course back in 2014, I was working full time and I did the course in my free time a couple of hours a week and it took me around four months to complete the course. But if you have a lot of time, you can finish it much faster. So it really depends on how much time you have, what kind of learner you are, all of those things. The third step, once you've completed the course, you passed, you will then receive your hard copy certificate. Before that, though, you will also receive a PDF version of your certificate that you will receive right away via email. You can download that and you can then use this PDF version of the certificate to already start applying for jobs. You don't actually need to wait until you have your hard copy certificate. You can apply with the PDF version right away because for most jobs, you're just going to apply online anyway. So you don't actually have to have the physical certificate yet. So that's number four, apply for jobs. Now this can take, depending on where you want to go, how competitive the region is. If you want to go abroad or if you want to teach online, this step, those four and five, step four and five, they will be longer or shorter. So for teaching English online, the application process is typically really, really quick. You can really start teaching online really fast. You fill out the application today, you have an interview tomorrow, you start the next day. It can really go that fast. For teaching abroad, obviously, it takes more time depending on where you want to go, how many additional documents you need for your work visa. So that can take a couple of months. So that's a bigger process, obviously. And then you need to buy a plane ticket, you need to fly there, move there, it takes more time. This whole process can take anywhere from four to six months and more. I think four and six months is a realistic timeline for if you want to teach in your own country or if you want to teach English online. If you want to go abroad though and you need those visa documents, it will probably be more like a year. We recommend looking, if you want to teach English abroad, looking into it, we recommend looking into it at least a year before your desired start date. And there's even teaching programs like the EPIC program, the JET program in Japan, things like that. They even hire a year before. So you already need to be ready and have all your things like the TESOL and TEFL certificate a year before you want to go. So it really depends. Also, Kayla, I mean, will we definitely get a job placement after getting a TEFL certificate? So at ITTT, what we provide is job support, lifetime job support. We do not offer 100% job placement because it is just difficult to do this because there's no one size fits all when it comes to jobs. It always depends on your background, your professional background, where you're from, where you want to go. Regulations, every country, every place has different requirements and different regulations. So some people might not be able to go to their desired destination. And we'll tell you, you in your consultation sessions, you will let us know where you want to go. And we will be able, our team, our consultants will be able to tell you, yeah, this is realistic, you can go to this country or no, with your given your background, given your, you know, your skill set. This is a little bit too competitive. You probably might not get a job there and we will help you find alternatives. So what is lifetime job support that we do offer? Let me just get that slide and show you. I hope I have it. Oh, I don't have it. No, I thought that we had a slide. Anyway, I can explain without a slide. I just thought I had a slide about that. I think that wasn't a different set. Anyway, that's fine. Or maybe it was after this. Hold on. No. Okay. Well, anyway, the lifetime job support includes things like you let us know where you want to teach, we will send you contacts, we have a vast network of schools and recruiters that we've worked with for decades. So we will send you that. And we also help you with a Tefl CV, a resume, writing that because Tefl TESOL resumes are quite different from regular ones. So we help you with that. We can also help you with a cover letter, of course, with recording, a introduction video. There's also some schools for interviews. They require you to teach a mock lesson and will also help you with that. So we really have a vast network of people that we partners that we've worked with over the years who specifically only hire ITTT certified teachers because they know our course, they like it, they approve of it, they know it works in their classrooms. And so they only hire our teachers. And those are unadvertised jobs that we only share with you guys at the end when you complete your course. So those are all the benefits that you can get that includes this job support and it is lifetime. So if you take a course now, but you're not quite ready to teach yet, no problem, you can let us know you can contact us in a year in two years and five years in 10 years. You're like, Hey, I'm an ITTT course graduate. Now I want to teach. Can you help me? And we'll be able to help you with this lifetime job support. All right. Good. Lots of questions. Let me see. All right. Patty Cast. Patty Cast. All right. Patty Cast is asking, it's an equivalent like taking a Celta or a Delta. Teflor TESOL is different from Celta or Delta. Celta or Delta is all from, I believe, Cambridge. It's just this one company that does it and our courses are not affiliated with Celta or Delta, but our certificates, Teflor and TESOL certificates, they enable you to teach English abroad. And we have courses. I can pull it up anywhere from here, 50 to 550 hours of training. So many different to get this training. The international minimum for teaching English abroad is at least 100 hours of study. So you want to go with at least this course. This is the most popular one, 120 hour Teflor certificate. It is 100% online. It contains 20 units, mixed leg between teaching methodology, classroom management, all the theoretical things, plus grammar and how to teach grammar, what English grammar, patterns, topics, most English learners struggle with and how you as a teacher can successfully teach that. You can also study at your own pace up to six months with this course. You can also have a tutor that you can contact 24 seven if you wish to help you, you know, working through if you have some issues, if you have some additional questions, if you want to learn more, want to get some extra resources, this tutor is great for that. At the end of it, you will receive an embossed hard copy certificate delivered straight to your door, wherever you are in the world. You'll also receive a PDF version of the certificate right away when you finish the course. And we also have notarization services available because nowadays countries like China and I believe also Vietnam, they want like an extra stamp on the certificate from a notar just one more additional stamp. And we also offer that, but it's really just if you want to go to China or Vietnam. I'm not sure if other places also do it. If it is required, you let us know and we'll help you with that as well. Okay, just want to remind everybody this down here, we have a 30% off thing. You can scan the QR code up here or I'm just going to share the link again in the comments. You can get 30% off any Teflor TESOL course from ITTT with this. Looks like that. All right, yes, be happy, be yourself. Please give me the job link. Yeah, we also so some of these we only really send out to ITTT graduates via email, but we also have job hold on. We also have this here. I can share that with you just one second. We have a job section on our website that is free to access open to anybody. So you can check it out and you can filter by country or also online jobs. Looks like this Teflor course.net slash Teflor minus jobs. And then the ending at the link is the 30% off. So just want to make sure that if you click on that, you also get the 30% off. That is one link with the jobs. So and this is constantly updated. We also share our job offers on our Facebook page. So that's also a really great way or great place to look for our Facebook page. Please follow it if you don't yet. So yeah, we also share a lot of teaching ideas, teaching material, type things, job offers, and also other things. So yeah, great. Okay. Hello, T Jude. Hi, good morning. How are you? Thanks for being here. All right. We have Bernard. Hello. How are you doing? Looking at the online course, you have a 120 hour course for $174. Is this the T Sol diploma already? All right. Maybe you clicked on the link, right? The discount link and this is discounted price $174. The regular price is a little higher, but maybe this is the 30% off price already. Like I said, I'm not really good with math, so I can't do the math in my head, but it sounds about right. Anyway, no, this is not the T Sol diploma. Actually, the T Sol diploma, let me pull up the link for you. The T Sol diploma is 370 hours actually. So 120 hours is the regular one, the regular course, the standard Tefal T Sol course, and then the diploma course is 370 hours. We also have an option with 470 hours, which also includes three other courses, the specialization courses, teaching English to young learners, teaching business English, and teaching English online. And we also have, because the diploma, if you want to take the T Sol diploma, you need to have the standard 120 hour course already. So if you don't, then I recommend the 550 hour expert package, which includes the 120 hours. So you take the 120 hour first, and then the T Sol diploma in one package. And this way it's a bundle. And you can also save some money. And you can find the diploma options here in this link, online minus Tefal, minus courses slash diploma. And then again, the ending is the 30% off. So you don't miss that as well. So you check out these options, depending on, you know, if you're already Tefal T Sol certified or not, whichever option might fit for you the best. These are the, yeah, I have, I have a picture here, the bundles. These are the specializations. So we have three, they're like mini short courses, 50 hour courses, specializations in business English, in teaching online and teaching young learners. Usually what people will do, they will take, they don't take these individually. You also need to have the 120 hour standard course first, because these all build on that knowledge. So what most people will do next, what most people will do is take a bundle like this. For example, the 220 hour is actually the most popular bundle. It includes the 120 hour regular Tefal course, the standard one plus teaching business English plus teaching English to young learners because business English and young learners are the two biggest fields of English teaching worldwide. So this course, this bundle, this package is the most popular. So I recommend taking this and again, oops, sorry, you can see all of our course options on our website. Also the bundles and the bundles again are a much better deal than purchasing all of these individually. It's a much, yeah, a better deal. And then adding to that our 30% offer today, great deal. So if you're not yet certified here, you'll see all of the online course options with this link online minus Tefal minus courses. And then again, this ending Facebook live minus Linda is the 30% off. So you can get that as well. Here you find all of the courses. Yeah, so if you also want to do the diploma, you can check out the 470 hour professional package, which is 120 hour, the standard one, plus again, the two specializations, business English, young learners, plus the Tefal diploma. So maybe this one would be great for Bernard. If you don't have the standard one yet, Bernard, maybe this one would be great. Or if you want to get the most, the best, the biggest training that we at ITTT offer, which is the 550 hour expert package, you can go for that. This includes all the same part one to part four, like the other, like the other course. Oh, actually part four here is teaching English. Then we have the diploma teaching English online, excuse me, then the diploma and then a 30 hour certificate of teaching practice recognition. So this is another really valuable add on where we assess your teaching skills. You video yourself when you're teaching in a classroom of your choice or online as well. And we assess that. And then you get this official teaching practice recognition certificate, depending on where you want to work. These some employers, they really want to see this official teaching practice certificate as well. So if you, you know, you're, you're sure and you want to do teaching abroad long term, you want to make this a big career, the more hours you have training, the more training hours you have, the better. So 550 hour expert package recommended. All right. That was a lot of information. How are we feeling? How are we feeling out there? Let me know how are you doing? Let's put this back to the beginning. Oh, we did that already. Here. I know a lot of information. It can be quite overwhelming. I've been doing this for years now. I remember when I first, you know, looked for TEFL courses, I was very overwhelmed too. I mean, you do a, you know, quick Google search and there's so many different companies and so many different courses and you're like, ah, you know, what course do I take? I don't know. So that's why we do these live sessions because I've been there back in 2014. I was teaching in China at the time. There was no TEFL requirement yet. Now it is required. So I was teaching there first without a TEFL and then I realized, you know what, kind of, I don't really know what I'm doing. I want more training. So I decided to get the TEFL certificate and I looked it up and I found ITTT and I thought, you know what, they seem great. The reviews seem great and this is where this comes in actually. They're the awards we've won or ITTT has won over the years that really convinced me and then I signed up for the 120 hour course and thanks to that. And then I took the Teaching English to Young Learners course and then I moved to South Korea and I taught English there. And I'm still in Korea now. Bernard, you're very welcome. I hope it helps. And if you have any additional questions, if something is not clear, then please let me know. Oh, Giuliano is back. Hello, Giuliano, how are you doing? Long time no see. He says, Linda, I've invited some students of mine from a regular, from my regular school here in Brazil to attend your speech and the course. My students are from Paraiba School. They are loving your presentation. Ooh, which one? Like now? Are they watching right now? Or they watched previous sessions. Cool. Thank you. That's so sweet. Awesome. I love that. Great. Thank you, Giuliano. That's nice. Wow, I love it. Great. Ask them or tell them if they have any questions. Guys, you can ask me. Feel free to do so. That's why I'm here today. We still have time. We usually do these live sessions for like 45 minutes to an hour even. So we're now at minute 37. So I still have time. I'm still here to answer you guys's questions. All right, we have a question from Kayla. I just prefer to say Kayla because I think today or I probably butcher your name. So Kayla, thank you for asking the question. Let me read this out loud for everybody. That's a lot. For getting jobs faster, is it best to do online or in-class course? I mean for the in-class course that runs for four weeks and where we get to choose which country we want to do it in, will we get a job after the course in that country? Say for example, I choose China to do my in-class course. So after my course, will I be able to get a job straight away in that country? Yeah, sometimes it depends on the center. We have a lot of centers that actually are super eager to place you into schools or you can actually work in their school. We have some centers like that. Actually, most of them will, most of the people who take an in-class course will get opportunities to stay in the country and teach there. Yes, so that is possible for sure. Sometimes I believe also for China to get a work visa, you actually need to apply for that in your home country though. So sometimes even you take a four-week in-class course, you still need to travel back home to do all the the visa stuff. Some countries, they don't let you do that in their country. It needs to be in your home country sometimes and I believe China, at least when I was there, it was like that. Also Korea, actually South Korea. So again, I recommend checking with the local embassy to make sure or then get in touch with us with the training center and we'll help you figure that out. It depends on the location. All right, we have Rabin. I'm doing very well. How are you? Thanks for watching. All right, and Rabin asks, how much does the 120-hour TEFL course online cost? Okay, you know what? I'm going to share my screen and I'm going to show you all the course options, okay? Let's see. So I can walk you through this better live on our website. So how does that look? Yes, okay, I'm going to make myself small. Okay. So these are our course options and as you can see, I have my Facebook Live Linda. I don't know, can you see that? Oh, no, you can't. Okay. So I'm going to show you the price also with the discount of today, 30% off. So here this is our 120-hour TEFL TESOL course and we always have two options. You need to scroll down a little bit here. So this is 339 with tutor and videos. This is sort of like a more add-on. You have a tutor and you have videos accompanying the course. This is 339 and the regular one without a tutor is 249. So if we look at, let's just do this one, 339 with tutor, you click on this and now we're just filling out an application, a test application test and then we choose, yeah, with tutor. So these are, yeah, these are the discounted prices, right. So that's the 174 that somebody said earlier. Yeah, that's the 30% off price. You can see those here. Can you see that? I hope you can. So 120-hour, today's offer without a tutor and 30% off is 174. With tutor and videos is $237 and these are the other prices, minus 30%. I hope, can you see that? Oh, you can't. Great. Okay. All right. Here are all the discounted prices. So you can do that and you'll see how much they cost minus 30%. So let's just choose, like I said, the master package is really popular. 220-hour master package plus tutor and videos and a free course. 279 minus 30% from today and you get to choose the free course, which is the teaching English online course. And then here we're just going to put in test real quick and then you're going to apply and it takes just a few seconds and you'll see, okay, you'll see the price and you saved $120 with today's 30% off link, $120. And then you'll see your payment options. So very flexible options. You'll also receive an email and sometimes it isn't junk mail or in your spam. So you can also check that out. We also have WeChat Pay, PayPal, Alipay, Western Union, so a lot of different payment options you can choose from. And then, yeah, once you pay, you have instant access to your course and you can start right away, basically. So that's how that works. Okay. All right. Good. Oh, Robin, you got caught off. Are you good now? Did you see it? All right. We have one more question here from Bernard, who says there are a lot of web pages, Facebook pages offering Tefal TESOL courses at unbelievable rates of $10 to $125. Yeah, there's even some like Groupon Tefal courses for like free or something. But doing some research, most articles about Tefal TESOL list ITTT is one of the best and one of the most legitimate companies in this field. Oh, I'm glad. Yes. Well, that's what I always like to say. What you pay is what you get. So if you buy a $10 Tefal course, you're not going to really get a lot of value. You're not going to get a free, hard, embossed certificate shipped to you at the end. You're not going to get lifetime job support. You're not going to get, you know, 24 seven customer service. You're not going to get these free live sessions that we do every week. You're not going to get that with a $10 Tefal course. So I'm glad you found the information about ITTT in India. All right. Good. I'm glad. Then Kayla, thank you so much for asking all these questions. Kayla, it's great. Being a non-native English speaker, can we still do in-class course in South Korea and also work there? Or because of their visa requirements, we cannot do this. I mean being from a non-native English speaking country. Okay. Great question for South Korea. Yes. So the thing with South Korea is currently only people from seven English speaking countries plus India can get the English teacher visa. So that is Canada, America, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. And Indian citizens can also work in Korea and get this visa if they have an Indian teaching license. All other countries cannot work in South Korea as teachers at the moment. There is right now something happening where a petition is going on in South Korea where they want to change this law, this requirement. So because so many, there were cases where language schools wanted to hire really qualified English teachers from countries, from other countries, non-native or even like it was the case was actually about a person from Nigeria where English is their official language. And the school was not able to hire this highly qualified teacher from Nigeria because he was, he's not from one of those seven countries. And so right now they are starting a petition. They're actually taking this to court in order to change this requirement. So I think maybe if things are going well, we might see this change happening, which would be just great. Yeah. So your question, if you right now, if you do an in-class course in Korea, you cannot work there afterwards right now, unfortunately, because the law is still the requirement, the law, yeah, the law is still like that at the moment. Kayla, yeah, you're very welcome. She says, thank you so much Linda. This live session has really helped me answer a lot of questions about which technical course to take. Again, thank you so much. Yeah, you're welcome. You're welcome. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out also here on Instagram. Feel free to reach out. I'm happy to answer all your questions. Bernard is asking any plans to open in-class courses in the Philippines soon. Yeah, we're always looking into new locations for sure. Let me just check. Didn't we, I thought we had a center in the Philippines, do we not? Maybe not. I thought we used to have one. Yeah, Cebu. Cebu Philippines or maybe are there no courses running at the moment? Yeah. Yes, sometimes also because of recent COVID things, some courses are not running currently but most of them are actually going, you know, coming back up. So I hope things will be changing very soon. But I will also say with in-class versus online these days, especially also since the pandemic where everything is online, online courses like employers, they really recognize online courses, online certificates, just the same as in-class certificates. So there's no difference these days in most cases. It just is recognized online versus in-class certificate, just the same these days. So, you know, if there's no in-class center in the Philippines, you can still take an online course and you will have pretty much the same possibilities and opportunities after. All right. Hajar. I hope I'm saying that correctly. Hajar. Thank you for your question. Is TESOL the right course for me if I want to teach in the USA? I'm Egyptian but I'm planning to move to the States soon. Oh, very nice. Cool. I mean, yes, a TESOL course will definitely help, especially I have a friend who is teaching TESOL in California. She has a lot of students who are not originally from the US and they don't speak English as their first language and those kids are her students. So I think something like that, if you want to work in this kind of field, then yes, a TESOL is definitely the right course to choose to do that and pursue this kind of career also in the USA for sure. Great. Julianna says, thank you for the introduction. I love to join your live sessions because you guys update the information each time. Yeah. I mean, things are changing all the time. So yeah, I do a lot of research about Tefl news and what's happening to provide you with the most up-to-date information really every time. Obviously, some things they don't change. So some of the information I'd say is the same. So I really appreciate people like Julianna coming back here week after week and still being able to learn something that's just great. So thank you so much. Bernard, is there a plan to open one in Manila? Great. Yes. You know what? I'm going to pass this on to my team. If there is a big demand, then for sure we can do that. If there is a high demand for that. So yeah, are you running a school in Manila? If you are or if you know of a school who would be open to offering Tefl in-class training under the ITTT umbrella, let me know. That'd be great. You can email me or message me here at Linda goes East on Instagram. That'd be great. Why not? That'd be awesome. Alrighty. This has been a really fun session.
