MOST POPULAR TEFL SPAIN COURSE!
ONE YEAR MADRID LIFESTYLE PROGRAM*
*Includes a One Year Work & Study Visa by an Instituto Cervantes Accredited School
The Canterbury English Madrid Lifestyle and Spanish Program includes a work and study student visa that allows you to teach for up to thirty hours a week, at a pay rate of between 16 and 20 Euros an hour (at the Canterbury English and private class pay rate). This means that you will be earning enough money to support yourself in Madrid, as well as having the time to study and excel in becoming fluent in the Spanish language.
OUR MADRID LIFESTYLE PROGRAM with CE`s TEFL MADRID IS AN UNBELIEVABLE OFFER: If you wish to stay in Spain after one year (many teachers do), Canterbury English will help you do this at a low cost that is affordable for English teachers who are learning Spanish.
All the other 25 Instituto Cervantes accredited Spanish schools in Madrid charge
6.000€+ EVERY YEAR for a Spanish course that gives you a one-year student visa
and universities charge 10.000€+. And with them, all you get is a Spanish course. With CE you get the same 20 hour a week Spanish course with amazing teachers in a boutique Spanish school in the Puerta del Sol, the beating heart of Madrid’s architectual splendour. Plus a job teaching, plus weekend activities every weekend and so much more! Our initial program cost and renewal fees are a super “ganga” (unbelievable deal).
Why or how can we do this? First of all, CE is mainly run by volunteers (often a new teacher, like yourself, volunteers to help out) and so we have much lower overhead than other schools do. Second of all, because after one year of studying-teaching with us, you have paid your dues, and you are a part of the Canterbury English community here and you are REAL family to us. We have developed a friendship and REAL friends help each other out.
Once you initially pay for the Madrid Lifestyle Program, because you already have a TEFL Spain or a TEFL international certificate and your year in Spain has flown by, you’re ready for another one. You have fallen in love with Madrid and the Spanish and as an ex-pat, you become hooked on Spain, like us at Canterbury English. And if you do, just say the word, and we will help you stay. Teachers in other programs usually have to go home after the first year, but not you!
* Only Instituto Cervantes accredited schools (like our Spanish school) and universities in Spain can give student visas since the new Ministry of Education law was passed by the Spanish Parliament in August 2022.
PROGRAM COST: 1.970 EUROS

This system makes it much easier for you to receive more paid work to fill out your English class schedule and while you are in your Spanish class.
CERTIFICATION
✔ The Garcia Lorca Spanish School Ten Month Certificate, Madrid, Spain, created in 2001.
JULY/AUGUST SUMMER CAMP OPTION (INCLUDED IN PROGRAM FEE)
After teaching in Madrid for Canterbury English during the school year from when you arrive until to June, you will need a summer job to get through the summer, because classes in Madrid slow down during the summer months.
Canterbury English teachers will need our guaranteed summer camp placement job in the summer and for you, this is one of the key pillars of our one year Madrid Lifestyle Program and is included in the program fee. Come and start teaching abroad!
In July and August you will be working in a summer camp near the beautiful and monumental city of the conquistadores called Caceres, which is in the province of Extremadura, Spain. Instructors will be working with campers from age 12 to 17 over the course of July and August.
The position will pay a total of 1.200€ (or 2400€ if you teach two months) in cash, with housing and three meals per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) included.
Much of the time spent with campers will be enjoying activities including games in the outdoors, hiking and trekking, swimming, music and drama. This provides a great and unique opportunity to meet new people and make new friends for both the kids and instructors. The camp is all day, from breakfast at 9am in the morning until bedtime at night, but there is time to rest during the day, because there are many instructors and you take turns for breaks and siestas. In the camps, there is one instructor for every 4 or 5 children. The tasks to be performed would be English classes in the morning and for the rest of the day games, being with the kids at the swimming pool, taking them on nature hikes, canoeing, archery, drama productions, etc. If you have a particular skill, such as playing the guitar, singing, crafts making, playing any other instrument, juggling, etc, then this will be very welcome.
We would love you to spend the whole two month of July and August with us (getting the real deal on our english teaching jobs in spain). But, in the case that you are not available for the four weeks, you also have the option to join us for two weeks and earn 600€.
