I yeah, we'll see you there. I'd appreciate a follow and a like it all like all that jazz. I'm originally from Germany slash USA. My mom is German. My dad is American. And I am based in South Korea and I kind of got involved with it TTT back in 2014. I was living in China at the moment at that time. And I was teaching English and I knew I wanted to move to Korea. So I decided to get Tefal certified to just enhance my chances of landing a job in the city that I wanted to go to to have better chances. And I did a Google Google search and I came up with it TT and I found the site good and the course options. And I found the reviews great. So I decided to take their course. And ever since then, I've kind of in the ITTT family. I slid into it. So I'm also a Teflon TESOL marketing professional for ITTT for the last eight, nine years. It's crazy how fast time flies. And yeah, if you didn't know ITTT stands for international Teflon and TESOL training. And you can find us at Teflon course dot net and also an Instagram at international Teflon training and of course on all the other social media platforms as well. And here on Facebook, where you're watching from and on YouTube, where many of you are also watching from right now. So if you're not yet subscribed or have liked our Facebook page and all that, I would highly encourage you to do so. And yeah, ITTT if you didn't know is a leading Teflon TESOL course provider worldwide. So we offer a variety of different Teflon TESOL courses of different hours. And we can get into that today. If you are not so familiar with our courses yet and you want to see the options, let me know in the comments and I will go through them and figure out maybe which course might be best for you. We can do that. And yeah, we help people all over the world become English teachers abroad or online or in their own home country. So wherever you want to go and teach English, you can do that with an ITTT Teflon or TESOL certificate. So yeah, that's enough about me. So yeah, this is what we're going to talk about today. And oh, how do you get the 30% off, right? People are probably asking. So what you can do, you can scan this QR code that you see right here in front of you.

And Amitabha has a question asking, by the way, where exactly are you located in South Korea? Yeah. So I live in a city called, I'm just going to type that in here, Cheongju, called Cheongju. There are a lot of similar sounding cities in Korea. So it can be confusing. There's Jeongju, Cheongju, Jeongju. So they're all kind of similar. But I live in Cheongju. And I've lived here for almost eight years. This year is going to be eight years. It's kind of crazy. Time flies so fast. Do you also feel like that? Is time flying fast for you? Go by fast? I think it is. Definitely for me. And yeah, but I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed living in South Korea. It's fun. There are a lot of opportunities for, you know, English teachers, language teachers. I think I mentioned this before, but I pretty much get like teaching gig offers pretty much every week. Like I get some, somebody contacts me and hey, I have this class you want to teach. We're looking for a teacher, etc. So there's so many opportunities here in South Korea, which is really great, which I love, which I love and why I'm kind of here and continue to be here. So that's one great advantage of South Korea. But where are you guys interested in teaching it? Do I have here, if you could teach anywhere in the world, where would it be? Where would you teach? If you could just, if there were no requirements involved, no, nothing involved, just if you could go like this and you would go anywhere in the world and teach and live there for a while, what country would you pick? Where would you teach in the world? Let me know. I'm curious. I am curious, where would you like to teach? Let me know in the comment section where you would like to teach. So I can kind of get a better idea of who you guys are. And I can tailor my today's live session maybe better to you and I can talk about that country and how you can make your dream happen of living and teaching abroad in that country. Let me know if you could teach anywhere in the world, where would it be? Let me know in the comment section. And then, yeah, I can take your questions. We are usually live around 45 minutes, maybe longer depending on how many questions you guys have. So don't be shy. I always say that don't be shy. Ask away with your questions. I also prepared some slides that can also maybe help us come up with questions if you're like, I don't know what to ask. So we can also do that. But yeah, this is what we're going to talk about today. Teaching English abroad online, everything in between. Because nowadays that's a great thing about teaching English. It's so flexible. You know, it's not only just going abroad and teaching in a school anymore. You can literally teach English from your home. You can teach English from your bedroom, if you wanted to, from your apartment. You can teach English on the road while you're traveling and exploring other countries as a digital nomad. You could, you know, there's so many different options. It's not just one option anymore. So that's also the great thing about this career path. And maybe in the beginning, let's have a look if I'm not sure, do we have a lot of new viewers today? Let me know in the comments please, where you're from, where you're watching from and where you would like to teach. Let me know and ask me your questions. Ask me your questions. And first up, I'm not sure, just so we're all on the same page. Kind of, this is a question we get like all the time, especially for new people who are new to Teflon TESOL. They're asking, so what should I take? Should I take a Tefl course? Should I take a TESOL course? What's the difference? So just real quick, so we all know Tefl stands for teaching English as a foreign language and TESOL stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages. And so Tefl, I'm just going to make this bigger so you can see Tefl. The only difference is that Tefl, the term Tefl is most commonly used in the UK and in Europe versus the term TESOL is more commonly used in Australia and the US and I believe Canada. So it just depends on where you are in the world. You would refer to this as Tefl or you would call it TESOL. So it's really up to you at ITTT. You can actually choose whether you want your certificate to say Tefl on it or TESOL on it. You can pick that. So, but the training, the units of the courses is exactly the same, whether you take a Tefl course or a TESOL course. The only difference is just the name and that is based on your location. So that's really the only difference. There's no other difference. Good. We have a question here from Amitava or a comment. Yes, indeed Linda, time does fly fast as it would be four years in about five months since I got my Tefl 120 hours intensive in-class course and certificate in Kathmandu, Nepal, way back in June 2019. Wow, that's amazing. So four years ago, you got Tefl certified with us in Kathmandu at the in-class Tefl Centering Kathmandu. That's amazing. And it's four years later now, amazing. Time really goes by super fast. And thank you so much for still being here and supporting ITTT and being here with us. I really appreciate that Amitava. Really, I can't thank you enough for joining our live sessions week after week. It's really great to see you here. So thank you so much for that. And maybe something to mention for new viewers. So people like Amitava who graduated in 2019 from our course still receive job support from ITTT. It never expires. So Amitava can come to us and say, Hey, I want to teach English in China. I want to teach English in France, wherever you want to go, please help me find a job there and we will do our best to help you find a job. We have a network of different schools, recruiters, agencies all over the world, and we will help you find a job in the country where you want to go and teach. So that's really great. Good. So this is about Tefl and T-Sol. So you kind of know Tefl T-Sol, same thing. The only difference is the name and where that term is used, kind of like tomato, tomato, Tefl T-Sol, same kind of thing. Where is the demand also? The demand really is all over the world. Of course, we have some hot spots, which are typically Asia is a big hot spot, the biggest market for teaching English as a foreign language, very, very hot. You can find positions in all corners of Asia. East Asia is great in terms of salary. You can make a lot of money in East Asia. Southeast Asia is great for people who are looking for kind of a relaxed lifestyle and maybe you don't have a degree, maybe you're not a native English speaker, then Southeast Asia is a great destination to go to. Then we have the Middle East, which is actually the highest paying region in the Tefl world. You'll find the highest salaries there in the Middle East in countries like Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman. These kinds of countries are great if you are looking to make the most money from your teaching English abroad journey. Then of course, we have Europe, countries in Europe, really all over central Europe. We have Germany, you have Poland. Czech Republic is great. We also have favorites like Spain, France, Italy, of course, are very popular. Eastern Europe is great also. We have a really, really good English teaching program in Hungary that recruits English teachers into schools across Hungary, which is great. We also have, as you can see here on the map, North America, especially Mexico, because of the closed ties with the US, a lot of business English teaching opportunities there, and of course, Central and Latin America, also Central America, and also South America for these business connections. You have a lot of business English opportunities there, but also teaching children, even though we have to say that especially South America, the earning potential is not going to be that great. Typically, if you're looking to make the most money, you're not going to want to look at Latin America, but if you're looking for a fascinating experience, maybe you want to learn Spanish or Portuguese. Brazil is a very good market for English teaching as well, but you don't care so much about making the most money, sending money home, saving a lot of money. You just want to have fun, a good experience, experience of fascinating culture that interests you. Latin America is obviously great for that. It really depends on what you're looking for with that and where you want to go to, and I actually have some more slides about that. Let me just find it with sort of salaries. We can also speak about the Tefal and Tisa levels a little bit, but let me see. Here, this slide, and I'm just going to make myself smaller again so you can see that, and I'm going to get rid of this banner real quick. A lot of people obviously want to know how much do Tefal teachers get paid? How much money can you make teaching English abroad? Here are basically three regions that I've identified. We have the high earning potential regions, medium earning potential regions, and the low earning potential countries. Literally, you can make anywhere from 500 to over 5,000 US dollars a month teaching English abroad. It really depends on the location, right? Where you want to go, the country you want to go to, the city you want to go to, and also your background, your qualifications. Do you have teaching experience or not? Do you have a degree or not? Do you have a Tefal certificate or not? All of those things kind of come into play. And here, looking at the high earning potential areas, here you can make anywhere from 2 to 5,000 US dollars a month and more. And this is what I just talked about, especially the Middle East has the highest salaries followed by East Asia. We have China, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. They typically have the highest salaries in the world for Tefal teachers. And you also get amazing benefits here, like paid housing. You get an apartment from your employer. You don't have to worry about paying rent. You get airfare. They pay for your airplane ticket to come there. And also once a year, usually for you to go back home. Or when your contract finishes, they pay for the flight back home, which is great. You also get health insurance. And sometimes you even get contract completion bonuses. So if you complete a year's worth contract, you sign on for another year, you would get a bonus. You also get severance pay in many cases. And in countries like Korea, you also pay into the local or national pension scheme. And so when you leave, you also get that money back because you're not getting, you're not staying in Korea, you're not getting pension retirement money here in Korea or in Korea. So you get all of that money back, which is really great. And so this is really great region, Middle East and East Asia, with the highest earning potential. Then looking at medium earning potential here, you can make anywhere from 800 to 1500 US dollars a month. And this includes countries like Thailand, Mexico and Spain. So here you can see it's not very region specific. But just three countries as an example here. And yeah, the salary is not that high, but also the cost of living isn't that high, except for Spain, obviously the cost of living in Europe is kind of high. So, but you do sometimes in these countries get housing paid for, you get airfare paid for, and also health insurance, usually not all of those three, you would get minimum health insurance and then everything else you kind of have to negotiate, or you might not get a whole apartment, you might get, you know, a room in a shared apartment with other teachers. It really depends. You might just get one flight paid for or just 50% of your ticket paid for. So not quite as great as the high earning potential regions. And then we have the low earning potential regions, which is most of Latin America and a lot of European countries. Here you really make not a lot of much, not a lot of money you make anywhere from 500 to 1000 US dollars only. And you usually don't have any benefits there, no housing, no airfare, sometimes not even insurance. It really depends. And in these regions, it can be really hard to save any money at all. A lot of teachers in these regions, they have to come already with a bit of a budget to be able to basically afford an apartment and live or a lot of teachers take on private tutoring and their free time to supplement their income. So that's also very common. So just to get an overview here for you guys. Um, yeah. Good. I'm still here to take your questions. So ask away. I just wanted to let you know about the salary real quick, but yeah, still here to answer you guys's questions. So whatever you want to know, let me know. Ask me your questions about teaching English, broader online, and I'm going to answer them. Don't be shy. There are no stupid questions. And that's what I'm here for every first Friday of the month, because we have February 3rd. That's why I'm here and we're doing this Teflon Q&A today. Next week, there will be a specific topic assigned to our live session again. But every first Friday of the month, I want to do a casual kind of Q&A for you guys where you can ask me your questions. So ask away, ask away, ask away. Oh, I missed that. Amitabha, I did not see that comment earlier. Okay, let me read that real quick. Well, Linda, as you very well know, I am a non-native speaker from Kolkata India. Likewise, I'm doubly certified as well as having a TESOL 250 hours online course and certificate that also way back in April 2021. I prefer to teach in Europe and Southeast Asia, preferably in your mother country, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Austria, etc. Yeah, I mean, definitely we can help you get a job in these countries. Amitabha, reach out. Oh, our email address, just to let you know, you can reach out to us here, courses at TESOL-tefl.com. This is for everybody. If you have any questions about ITTT and our course options or anything like that, feel free to reach out via this email address courses at TESOL-tefl.com and we'll get back to you. Okay, we have Enray. Is that Enray the name? Oh, I like this name. Enray, saying here, I'm interested. What is the basic requirement for being TESOL certified? Yeah, great question. So for getting a Teflor TESOL certificate, you really only need to be over 18 years old and fluent in English. So you don't have to be a native English speaker. You have to have a good level of English so you can, you know, understand obviously the units and the lesson material. But other than that, there are no other requirements for taking the course. And then for finding a job afterwards in a different country, it will depend on your nationality sometimes. So there are some countries like, for example, Korea, where I live, where the English teaching visa is an E2 visa. And this visa only people from seven countries can get, seven English speaking countries. So non-native English speakers have a bit of a hard time in Korea. So, but there are so many other countries obviously you can go to. Southeast Asia is great. Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, if you want to go down there. Or also European countries, especially Eastern Europe. Then we have Latin America where you can also find positions. The Middle East is also great. So it all depends on your background as well, your experience, your portfolio, your resume, all those things. But the basic requirements for getting TESOL and Tefl certified, you only need to be 18 years old at least and be a fluent English speaker. And that's it. And then you can take the course. And let me maybe walk you through the different course options here, or maybe this one first. So you might ask yourself, which Tefl course is right for me when you look at our website, teflcourse.net. You will notice a lot of different course options and it can be sometimes quite confusing, which course should I take, which course is right for me. So we're going to answer this question right now with Pedro here. Hi, Pedro. How are you doing? Good to see you. Awesome. Yeah. So at ITTT, we offer anywhere from 50 to 550 hours of Tefl training. So and basically for teaching English abroad, the minimum is usually 100 hours. So the 50 hour courses that we offer are specialized additional courses. So you don't really want to take them on their own. And I'm going to take the special, I'm going to talk about the specializations in a moment, but 100 hours of training is the minimum, usually for teaching English abroad. So yeah, we have a wide variety of different courses. They're all internationally accredited and accepted worldwide. So you don't have to worry about that. And let's have a look. So we have our courses basically organized into Tefl levels. We have levels four to seven. Actually, level three are the specializations, but yeah, you shouldn't take them on their own. So I'm not mentioning those right now. So level four to level seven, level seven are our courses and level four is the minimum for teaching jobs worldwide. And that is the 120 hour Tefl and T-SAL certification, which ticks off that 100 hours minimum. So the 120 hour course that we offer is the most popular because it is the minimum requirement to teach abroad. And this course is equivalent to a freshman level university course. And this one enables you to teach English around the world in schools and language centers and also on online platforms. So if you're just starting out a level four course, the 120 hour course is great to get. Then the next level is level five. This is equivalent to an associates degree. So this one is, for example, our 170 hour course with online specialization and the 220 hour master package. So those two are level five that we offer at ITTT. And level five courses, they provide just more teaching knowledge and job market advantage. So because we talked about level four, the 120 hour course is the standard minimum. So if you go to a very competitive region like Asia and the Middle East, many other applicants will also have a 120 hour course because it's the standard course. So if you want to stand out from your competition and offer a little bit more and enhance your chances, a level five certificate will do that, will enhance your chances. Then we have also a level six certificate. And these are equivalent to a bachelor's degree. And this is the diploma in TESOL that we have at ITTT is a level six qualification. And again, if you have a level six diploma in TESOL also leads to higher level ESL jobs. So these people, people with this qualification can take on head teacher roles and managing a team of teachers in a school. So that is what the diploma in TESOL is for. And then the highest level that we offer at ITTT is the level level seven, which is the expert package. And that's ITTT's highest level course. This one is the 550 hour expert package. This is equivalent to a postgraduate degree. And this includes 120 hours, the 120 hour course, plus the diploma course that we talked about from level six, plus various specialized courses like business English and teaching English to young learners. And with this course, you also have the option for a teaching practice component in a location of your choice around the world. So these are our options at ITTT just briefly. And here they are how they look on the website. So this one is the 120 hour course here in yellow. And this is the one, the standard course, our most popular course option. That's the minimum that you want to get if you want to teach English abroad. And on the website, it is priced at $249 US dollars. But with today's code, our 30% off, you only pay $174. So that's a big difference, 30% off. And I'm just going to share that one more time for you guys. So you can see that you can use this link to sign up for your course and save that money. Big difference, 174 versus 249, right? So use this link and choose that on the application page. And you can save 30% off of your course. Also, the next one, the level five here is our 170 hour course. This is the one that you want to take if you want to teach English, either abroad or also online specifically online. It has the online specialized course with it. So it's a popular option. And it provides the perfect start for anyone who wants to teach in both a traditional classroom and also in an online setting. This course on the website is priced at $299. But for you guys today, when you use our 30% off, it is only $209 US dollars. Yeah. Next up is our 220 hour master package course. And this is my favorite. This is my favorite course. That's the course that I have. And I recommend if you want to teach English, maybe long term, you know, you want to make this a career, not just for a year and then you go back home and you do something different. If you want to teach English abroad long term for several years, I would say this course really is great, great, great, great. So this one is great. And it combines our most popular online courses, the 120 hour online course plus 50 hour course in teaching English plus the 50 hour course in teaching English to young learners. So to children. And these two business English and teaching children are the two biggest fields in EFL in English language teaching. So that's why this course is a great option. And again, on the website, this course is priced at $349 US dollars. But with today's live session, discount code, you only pay 244. So you pay 244, which is pretty much the regular price for the 120 hour course. So yeah, I think that's a really great deal. And then we have the 370 hour diploma course. So this is the level six course, the sec, the almost the highest level that we offer the highest level again is level seven. So this is level six. This is great, you know, for anyone applying for teaching jobs worldwide, it will boost you. It will also give you a free additional course in business English or young learners or teaching English online. So you can also get that on top of that, which is really great. And this with today's discount comes at 419. So 30% off. We have crystalline here. Hi, crystalline. Yay, I made it finally. You made it. How are you doing? Thanks for joining. We're just going over our TESOL levels, TEFL TESOL levels at ITTT. And we just talked about here level six, the 370 hour course today. And then this is the highest level that we offer at ITTT, which is the 550 hour expert diploma package course. And this one includes six certification courses. It's the highest level. So it offers the most comprehensive and in depth TEFL training on the market. This course with this option, you could also get professional tutor support and one on one live job consultancy. And this one is priced at 799 on the website. And here the discounted price is 559. There's something blocking that on my screen. Is that right? Let me just, yeah, 559. Okay, there we go. 559. So 30% off with today's discount code. Name is Mikey here. Hi, Mikey. How are you doing? Good morning. How are you today? Thanks for joining. All right. Looks like we have a couple more people now. So today, what we're going to do is we have a casual TEFL TESOL Q&A session. It is the first Friday of February, a new month. So every first Friday of the month, we have this Q&A time where you guys can ask me questions here. And I'm doing my best to answer them. So that's what we're going to do today. So please don't be shy. Ask away. Put your comments, put your questions in the comments. We are live on Facebook and on YouTube. We still have a bit of time. We have 36 minutes in. So usually these sessions go 45 minutes to even an hour. So you still have time to ask your questions. Good. I'm glad you're doing well. Mikey asks how long is the, how long the discount will last for? Good question. Actually, the discount does not expire. It does not expire. So you can take your time with it. I know, you know, it's a big decision, which course you should take. So that's why I'm going over all of the options. But we only share this discount during the live session. So not anywhere else. So what I recommend is just saving it, copy paste here, this link, keep it somewhere. If you're not ready yet to make the decision, which course you want to take, save it. And then when you're ready, when you know which course you want to take, you just sign up with this link. There's no rush with that. All right. All right. Crystal Lee is asking, I'm doing great so far. Does ITTT offer internship programs by chance? Yeah, good question. So internship programs, we do not specifically offer that. We do have some partners, recruitment partners and other teaching partners who have shorter, not full contract positions, but shorter terms. So kind of internship positions. We do have that. So what you can do, let me see. Yeah, you can go here to EFL minus ESL minus job. I'm going to share the link. And here we have listed a list of our Teflore recruitment partners. And you can browse and many of them actually will have a internship program. So you can have a look if there's something that you like. And if there's something that you like, you can let us know and we will, you know, get you in touch. Or also you see their contact information there. But obviously you would have to be Tefl certified first. But yeah, these are partners that we work with. And this is also for everybody. You can have a look. These are our partners where you can then get matched with once you graduate with a job or an internship, whatever you're looking for. So that's a great question. Okay, just here. This is what we just spoke about because I know a bunch of people joined right after this. These are our Tefl and TESA levels here at ITTT. So from level four to level seven is basically what you want to look at for teaching English abroad. We also do have some level three courses, but these are the specializations. So they're not suitable just to be taken alone on their own. You really want to start with this level four to 120 hour course. It's kind of small, isn't it? Here just pulling this up one more time. Feel free to take like a screenshot if you want to read this. Yes. Crystaline's asking one other question quick. All of the courses offered by ITTT. We can get college credit for them, right? Yes. Yes. So let me also pull that up. Yes. So here you can get here the credits. It's a credit bearing certificate from an internationally recognized university. Here it says the credits earned have been transferred successfully to universities all over the world from our certificates in the U.S. Credit Evaluation Services. Consider these courses to be in the same bracket as a U.S. Regionally Accredited University. So yes. Oh, and then you can also click on this. Oh, here. Perfect. Please have a look at this. Always adding new information to our websites. Sometimes I also discover new pages. That's great. Okay. Here maybe I should share the screen. I think that makes more sense. Let me show you this on my screen here, what you will see on the website. Here's a list of, I hope you can see that. Yeah. So go to here, what I just shared. This link credits minus university minus blah, blah, blah. Go here. And then this will take you to this page, what I'm showing you right now here on the screen. And you can see all of the, all of our courses and how many credits you get for that. Excuse me for that course. So yeah, here. It's a very short page, but I mean, it's all the information you need to know about that. And you can, yeah, you can reach out to us. But yeah, it's just the certificates gained by completing a training course with ITTT are the only 100% online TEFL T-SOL certificates available that are validated accredited and credit bearing from an internationally recognized university. So the only ITTT has that. And these are the credits that you can get for every course. I hope that helps. Crystalline. Yeah. Crystalline says, I think I've asked that question before, but I just wasn't sure how to transfer them properly. Yeah. That's a good question how to transfer them properly. Reach out to my colleagues at courses at T-SOL minus TEFL.com. I would probably think they would issue a document for that. You know, and then you can transfer these credits. That's probably how it works. But yeah, reach out to them via email for clarification about that. That's what I would recommend. So yeah. There you go. And these are the TEFL levels. Okay. Oh, then let's see. I want to pull. What do I want to pull up? This. And then there are some additional slides. Let's see what I wanted to show you all. This, I think. Oh, we talked about this last time. This was also in last week's session, but I just included it today. How to find English teaching jobs. So apart from actually again, ITTT has lifetime job support. So we issue, we give you information for our partners. And they have available jobs. We have a job database that you get access to, but just a few other things here. Okay. Crystal Lee says, okay, I lied. I have one more question. That's okay. That's what I'm here for. Don't feel bad about that. What do you do if you were to fail one of the courses? Can you retake them later on? Yeah. So if you fail one, so the courses you work through after every unit, you have to take a short assessment test. There are multiple choice. They're not that difficult. And then you need an overall passing rate of 75% to pass the whole course. Is it 70 or 75? I believe it's 75% minimum. Could be 70, 70 or 75. Anyway, if you don't pass, you can retake. You have to pay a small fee. If you are under 75 or 70, if you don't pass that, you can do that again. You can pay a small fee. If you do not pass the final summative task, you can retake that, I believe, two times. And the tutor, if you have tutor support, they will let you know exactly why they didn't accept it and you can fix it. But our passing rate is really high. It's 90%. So it's really rare for somebody not to pass. And you strike me as a very bright and intelligent person. So I don't think you have anything to worry about, to be honest, crystalline. I think you're good. Yeah. Here, maybe also a lot of people ask that, what documents do you need to teach English abroad? And I actually did a whole life session about that before, where we go in depth of all the documents that you need. So you can actually, you can check that out in our previous live session. Crystalline says, I was wondering, because I'm doing the business English course and I'm having a heck of a time with it. Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. No, I'm sure you're good. You're good. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Well, if you have any questions, reach out to me about it. I think you'll be fine. Don't stress too much about it. Take your time reading through the units. You know, watch the videos. Yeah, don't go too fast through the courses. I think that's a mistake a lot of people make. They want to go through too fast without really absorbing the material and then they make mistakes in the tests. So just go slowly. You can print out the material and like study old school with like a highlighter. Take notes if you want to do that or just keep it 100% online, you know, whatever you feel more comfortable with. But that's, yeah, I feel you. I feel you. Yeah, so here are some of the documents that you need to teach English abroad. Of course, you will need a passport for going abroad. That's a no-brainer. Usually, a lot of countries will not let you in if your passport expires in six months or less. So make sure it's at least six months and preferably even longer. So maybe two years. And I talked about that before, but it's just a hassle if you're abroad and then you have to renew your passport. It's just kind of annoying. You have to go to the embassy and it's expensive, usually more expensive than back home. So just avoid that. Make sure you have enough validity on your passport. Then sometimes, of course, you will need a visa. So that's a whole other process. You will need various different visa documents. So that really depends on the country that you're applying for, what they want to see, a TEFL certificate. Sometimes in many countries, it is a requirement. So they want to see that. They also want to see your contract. Obviously, if you're applying for a work visa, they need to see your contract. So things like that. They also want to see your resume and cover letter. And sometimes this needs to also be translated into the local language for the visa. Photos, of course. Sometimes you will need a headshot and sometimes you need full body photos, depends on where you're applying to. They will let you know, of course. Some countries also require a criminal background check. So this is especially in Asia and Middle Eastern countries where you need a background check. So this would be a FBI background check in America. And I don't know what it's called in the UK. It has different names in different countries, but just a background check. And usually that one takes a long time. So that's one of the things you want to kind of apply for early, if you need that. Of course, you will also need a university degree or diploma and official transcripts of your qualifications. Oftentimes it means a sealed envelope from your university or college. And then sometimes you'll also need to complete a medical form or different medical tests. Again, this is not for every country and every destination. Every country has their own laws and regulations. So some of these things you might need. Some of the other things you might not need. It really depends. But this is what we see most often. But your employer will help you with that. So you're not alone in figuring that out. And usually like on the embassies, you can download checklists of what you will need for your work visa. Your employer will help you. Your recruiter will help you if you go through a recruiter. So this is not something you have to figure out and it's difficult. Don't worry. You're not alone and you are a journey. Crystaline says, I have to head to work now. But thank you so much. Have a wonderful day. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful work day. Thank you.

Also, of course, I want to share that one more time we have an email address, of course, where you can reach us if you have any questions. So also, don't be shy to reach out at any time, courses at tesol-tefal.com. And then, yeah, what's your question? Let me know your questions before I go. Let me know, guys. What are you curious about? Last couple of questions now before I go. Last chance to ask a question about Tefal TESOL teaching abroad online, whatever you want to know. Or maybe you're just content and happy. Oh, Henry says, what about academic qualifications to be Tefal TESOL certified? I've done bachelor's degree in English, LG and literature. Great. Oh, linguistics. I said linguistics. Good. Yeah. So the qualifications to take a Tefal course are really just to be 18 years old and to be fluent in English. But then the things that you will need to teach English abroad vary from country to country. Do I have a list here? Is that it? No. Here. Requirements for teaching English. So they vary from country to country depending on where you want to go. Okay. And I'm going to make that bigger again. So these are some typical requirements for teaching English that we see. So a bachelor's degree is required in many cases. But even if you don't have a degree, you can find a position in some countries. And it doesn't have to be in the field of education. Now, Henry, you have a degree in English, linguistics and literature. So that is a huge plus already, a huge boost for you. Teaching experience is usually a plus. It is not required. We have a lot of first time teachers, especially in Latin America, in Asia, if you want to go to, for example, the Middle East, where we talked about, they have the highest salaries there. They usually want somebody with teaching experience. Native or non-native English teachers can find positions of teaching English abroad. And then many employers are looking for somebody who has a high level of adaptability. So that means that when you go abroad to this new country, that you can adapt to the culture. And you're not, you don't experience, we all experience culture shock, but you're not going to just leave again, because you can't handle the culture, because hiring somebody from abroad is very expensive for these schools. So they want to make sure that you are staying, fulfilling your contract, and that you're eager to learn new things. So those are, yeah, some things that we see. So yeah, I think, Henry, you are really more than qualified. You have a bachelor's degree in English. You want, you want to be Tefalty so certified. So you really are good to go. You have a lot of opportunities, especially with your degree and with your degree in English. So that's really great. Don't worry, you're good. Great question. Thank you. All right. Good. Good stuff. Last question. Let's take one more question and then I'm going to say goodbye to you guys. Last question for today. Who is it going to be? Who is it going to be? Let's see. Or maybe you're all content. All questions answered. That's cool too. Let's see. But yeah, thank you so much for your questions. Amitava is always a lot of good comments. And Henry, thank you so much for being here. I think this is your first time. So thank you for being here today. And Pedro, thanks for joining again. Crystaline, Mikey, everybody. Thank you so much for your input, for your questions, and just for your support and being here every week. I really appreciate you. I hope you know that. And I will be here again next week. Next week, same place, same time. And we're going to talk about a topic next week. So again, every first Friday of the month, like today, we're doing casual Tefal Tiso Q&A time. But next week, we're going to talk about a specific topic. And I believe I haven't chosen that yet. So if you have a recommendation, if there's something you want me to talk about next week, let me know. Let's see if I have that already on my agenda or not. No, it's still undecided. So if you have a recommendation, what you want to hear, let me know. If not, I'll figure something out. So Linda, good question from Amitava. Thanks for still being here. I appreciate that. So according to you, since I have both level four and level six qualifications, do I stand a chance of standing a good job offering a decent salary in 2023? I would say yes. I would say yes. You also have, don't you have a master's degree also in English? If I remember correctly, you have great qualifications. You have a university degree. You have a lot of Tefal Tiso training. I believe you also have teaching experience. So really, you are very qualified. So yes, please reach out to us again. Of course it's at Tiso-Tefal, what was it, .com? Yes, Tiso-Tefal.com. There we go. Let our team know and we will help you out. We will connect you with the right people to teach English abroad in 2023. I feel like Amitava, this can be your year. This can be your year. You can make it happen. I believe in you. I know. I have a feeling, Amitava. Great. I think this is great. Great final question. So thank you so much for that. And this was a great Q&A session today. Thank you everybody for your questions and for staying on and also sharing a bit of your story that was really interesting from Amitava and Crystalene. So thank you guys. And like I said, we are going to be live again next week, same place, same time. And we are going to talk about a specific topic again next week about Tefal Tiso teaching abroad online. So if you have any recommendations, what you want me to talk about, let me know in the comment section. You can also watch this as a replay. And if you make any comments after we are live, we will still get back to you. So don't be shy, ask away even after this life has ended. All good. We will get back to you. And yeah, I just want to wish you all a happy weekend and thank you again for joining. Oh, Amitava says, well, I do not have any teaching experience or qualifications. Thanks for the kind feelings and words expressed by you about me. I'm grateful to you and greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah, even with no experience, that's totally fine. Don't worry about it. Most teachers that I met really, they don't have any teaching experience. Most teachers come in here. So that is not the most important thing. Either way, you can always start with teaching English online to get experience and a bit of money. And then once you've done that for a while, you can go abroad and teach in a real classroom. So those are also options. But yeah, I wish you all the best. And thanks for always being here. And I hope to see you all again next week. We'll be here. I hope you'll join us again. And yeah, thank you guys so much. I'll see you again later. Thank you. Bye.
