Careers Service

At Active Language we understand that finding a job following the TESOL course is often a primary concern of our trainees and as such we consider effective careers advice to be an integral part of the course. And this doesn’t stop at the end of the course; the Active Language Careers Service is always available to our graduates and we actively look to provide as much post-course support as we can.

Successful job hunting is largely based on good preparation (as well as a bit of luck!) and that’s where we are able to help. As part of the course we look in depth at the TEFL interview focussing on preparing you to deal with even the trickiest of interviews. We also provide:

Individual interviews to look at your personal employment goals

Individual CV/Résumé consultations

Comprehensive schools listings

Jobs board – regularly updated with job adverts
Careers library – stocked with books, articles, country profiles, job hunting resources

Detailed listings of TEFL internet sites
Job serarch tips – where to look and how to apply
Advice on contracts, visas and other bureaucratic issues
Network of graduates and other TEFL professionals for advice and recruitment help

Following The TESOL cert. course we actively provide our graduates with advice and support:

Prompt and personalised references – this can be vital in securing your teaching position
Regular email updates on job offers
Regular newsletter with lesson plans, job offers, country profiles,“where are they now?”, industry news
Free professional development
