 From student to teacher in six easy steps. Step one, getting started. Decide where you want to teach. Research the required qualifications for your chosen destination. Find out potential salaries and cost of living. Complete an application for one of ITTT's TEFL courses, either online, in class, or combined. Step two, learn. Upon successfully completing the course, wait for your certificate to arrive by post, or attend the training center at your chosen destination for your four-week, in-class course. Once your application is successful and necessary fees have been paid, you are ready to go. If you have chosen an online course, you can start studying the course materials and complete the tests when you are ready. Step three, apply for jobs. Use the resources provided by ITTT to ensure you CV, cover letter, and so on make the most impact for TEFL, TESOL job applications. Contact schools via email, telephone, or in person to apply for positions you are interested in. Step four, the interview. Make sure you are smartly dressed for your job interview, whether it is in person or over Skype. Be sure to bring all necessary documents to the interview. Step five, the small print. Find out what the visa and work permit situation is. Will your employer be organizing these for you, or are they something you need to arrange yourself? Is accommodation provided, or will the employer help in finding somewhere to stay? Step six, begin to teach. Turn up for your first day and teach.
