Not only do we give you a job, but our job support program is top of the TEFL schools, as we have dedicated thirty five years to fostering our contacts. That’s why we can offer TEFL jobs abroad. 

We are the experts in teaching overseas through top LANGUAGE SCHOOLS IN MADRID.

There are over 125 English Academies in Madrid alone and they are now often mainly staffed by Spanish English teachers.

In the past foreign teachers, especially British and Americans, were the main source of teacher staff.  

Some academies are still very strict about maintaining a native or foreign English-speaking staff (and those are the ones who work closely with CE as our partners, because they want the first pick of our new arrivals), but the rest have given up, because there just aren’t enough foreign teachers to go around.

That is why we know ours is the best teaching overseas programs, which place you in a language school in Madrid.

Until the UK left the EU in 2020, British teachers first and then American teachers second, staffed the English academies in Madrid.

Until August 2022, it was relatively easy and cheap for an American to get a student visa to study Spanish on a one-year student visa program, including Canterbury English’s program.

Then, everything changed with the new law in education in August 2022. This states only Instituto Cervantes (a government run ministry) accredited schools that run a 20 hour a week Spanish program for 10 months a year, can issue enrollment certificates for one-year student visas.  

This meant that Spanish schools have to charge 6000€+ a year to be able to offer such a program, consisting of 20 class hours a week, 80 hours a month and 800 class hours a year. This is exactly the same law and amount of weekly, monthly and yearly hours for the University four year degree programs.

Imagine the cost of such a program to a language school (our costs have cuadrupled to maintain our platform, but we haven’t increased our  prices, which is a minor miracle for our CE teachers). But without this minimum number of 20 hours a week, you can’t get a one-year visa, just a three-month tourist visa, which doesn’t work, if you want to live and teach in Spain.

And this meant English teachers who want to teach in the private English market with a student visa can no longer afford such programs.

So, with Brexit in 2020 cutting off the supply of British English teachers and the new law in education cutting off the supply of American (and British since 2020) English teachers, private English academies have had to do what they have never wanted and never had to do before: Hire Spanish English teachers to teach their Spanish clients…

Why haven’t they wanted to do this? Because Spanish students of English want foreign English teachers, especially in the first place, native English speakers, such as British and Americans (Irish, New Zealanders, South Africans and Australians) and secondly, English teachers from other countries. But they don’t want English teachers from Spain, nor from South America. 

This is logical. If you’re studying Spanish in the USA, you would want a teacher from Sevilla or Granada or Galica or Madrid or Argentina. That’s the way it is in language teaching, you want teachers from the country you are learning the language from first, and foreign teachers of English second. This is normal, if you’re from LA, you would prefer not to have a Spanish teacher born in Hollywood or Beverly Hills! 

We have a commitment to place each and every one of our CE teachers in schools in Madrid. Our partner schools know this and trust that our TEFL and Madrid Lifestyle graduates are the best prepared graduates of any TEFL program in Madrid, which is one more reason why we can offer TEFL jobs in Spain, Madrid or TEFL jobs in Madrid, Spain, so that you can  teach english overseas with us. 

It’s like this: You go to a restaurant and you want to eat a big old steak, but they only have vegetarian food. And not only that, the whole city only offers vegetarian, so there’s nowhere to go. What do you do? You complain a bit and then order vegetarian food. But you would have preferred some Spanish “Pata Negra” or “Jamon, Jamon”, but hey, you had no choice, you have had to make do with egg plant and pasta, washed down by a glass of water (instead of Rioja wine) and you figure hey, at least it’s more healthy for me. But you really don’t want healthy, you want the real thing!

This is kinda what the Spanish English students have to do now-a-days. They have to bite the bullet.

But not always, because there is a still A RAY OF CANTERBURY ENGLISH HOPE left!

This is why our TEFL JOBS IN SPAIN with us and our partner schools is your ticket to living in paradise!

Canterbury English teachers are what the Spanish want, all foreign and mainly British and Americans, with a few Aussies and Kiwi’s that make it to this side of the planet, plus other Non-EU nationalities.

And this is what the Spanish English student loves and will pay your English academy top dollar for. Because the academy has what they want: YOU!   

Our program is based in Madrid, so that you can obtain top TEFL jobs with our Spain programme and which provides you with private English classes in Madrid.

The magic here is that CE teachers are not paying 6000€+ a year for a student visa, they are paying very reduced prices, thanks to the unique CE system that is made for English teachers and by English teachers.

And so, our partner and collaborating English academy schools cannot get enough of our GOLDEN CE teachers, simply because CE teachers can legally work 30 hours a week for them. They are SOOOOO HAPPY to have you on board and their students are sooooo happy to have you teaching them. 

We sign the key Canterbury English Internship Agreement with our partner and collaborating academies and you can work 30 hours a week for the whole school year, as well as for summer camps in the summer.

When a CE teacher has a CE on-site, in-person TEFL certificate, then that is even better for the English academies and is a number one combination.

Why? Because our TEFL certificate has been populating English Academies in Madrid since 2001, because it is HOME-GROWN, here in Spain and in Madrid, which is what the English academies here trust most (it’s not a foreign, behind the computer, online certificate).

That’s why there are so many JOBS TEACHING ENGLISH IN MADRID FOR CANTERBURY ENGLISH GRADUATES.
