The EBC TEFL course is taught by trainers who not only have advanced degrees in
TEFL but also years of EFL teaching experience gained from all over the world.
TOP QUALITY TRAINERS
As you are the best, we believe that you should be taught by people who are experts
in TEFL. Our trainers each have, on average, 10 to 15 years experience teaching English as a foreign language. In addition to TEFL experience, our EBC TEFL trainers hold
BAs and Masters degrees in just about every language related area you can think of.
Our trainers also give external lectures on teacher training, organise UNICEF English
summer camps and have authored TEFL text books and audio tapes. These people
know their subject and even more importantly, they know how to teach it effectively.

Its all part of the job placement assistance service, whether you want it or not, once
you study with EBC you become part of our ever-growing family of globetrotting teachers.
Our job placement assistance scheme is only for EBC graduates. Many people who have
taken other courses (usually CELTA and Trinity) write us asking for help to get jobs. Unfortunately for them we have to turn them away. Heres an example sent in by someone
called Linda:
I have just recently become Cambridge CELTA certified (Eastleigh College, UK) &
would like to secure a TEFL position in Spain to improve my Spanish. ....... In hind-sight
I now realise that it would have been more productive to enrol for my TEFL course with
an Organisation like yours :-) Oh well, I guess thats life!
There are many people like Linda who write to us. If you study with EBC you wont share
their lack of job problems.
EBC believes you should not have to knock on doors looking for jobs.

doors to jobs for you. After that the rest is up to you at the interview. You arent left

Your EBC International TEFL Certificate plus working with internationally recognised
companies will give you a powerful CV/Resume. The prospective employers you meet
when you begin your professional career favour candidates with international work
experience. Should you at some point choose to change careers, the experience you
have gained through teaching, working and living in different countries will always be
one of your strongest assets.
