The financial hour glass is racing for you starting at 10:00 am on the first day of your TEFL course, because each one of you has just enough money to last a certain number of days in Madrid. And so like Laurence of Arabia crossing the Wadi Rum desert with Omar Sherif and just enough water for 30 days….you usually bring enough money to live in Madrid for between 30 and 60 days after the course has finished.
The lucky few have come with their golf clubs, a surf board and a big, fat bank account and they don’t really care when they start working! But this is not the case for most of you and you need to be earning Euros ASAP. The dilemma is that if you don’t make it, you’ve got to go back home and leave the dream behind. Some, the heroic, can’t go home and like Alexander the Great, when he arrived on the shores of Persia, his army overwhelmingly outnumbered by the enemy, gave orders to his men to burn their own boats and declared, “We go home in Persian ships…”.
And that is when Canterbury English comes to the rescue! We offer what no other course in Europe (and maybe the world) offers: A GUARANTEED JOB and we start sending you class offers as early as the first day of your Work Orientation. After 30 days of completing the TEFL program, you’ll have between 15 and 25 hours of teaching between our classes, classes from our associate schools, and your own classes or jobs that you have found, this is our guarantee.
Now the stress, uncertainty and worry you would have elsewhere has suddenly vanished into thin air with Canterbury English. Our English School team has taken that burden onto our shoulders, so you can lose yourself in the enjoyment of Madrid, Spain and the TEFL program, while Canterbury English send you class offers and other academy job offers. It’s up to us to help launch you, and that’s the way it should be.
At Canterbury English, you can discover the best tefl courses with a job included.
We would also like to add something that nobody knows and nobody tells you when you sign up for a TEFL program with a job guarantee. Every TEFL program under the sun promises you a job. What they don’t tell you is that English teaching jobs come and go. They have fulfilled their promise if you get a job soon after the TEFL course finishes. And one or two (you can count those programs on one hand) even work hard to do that. However, three months down the line, when you have lost half your hours, nobody remembers you, because they have a new shipment of TEFL graduates to take care of the initial promise.
At Canterbury English, we have a lifetime commitment to you and to finding work for you again and again and again. We have graduates who, after a decade, are still receiving job offers from us. With CE, you can live in spain teaching english as a foreign language during the week and enjoy travelling around Europe on the weekends!
INSIDE INFORMATION ABOUT JOBS OTHER PROGRAMS WON’T TELL YOU
Canterbury English is giving you bona-fida inside information, because we are an English Academy (see https://www.canterburyenglish.com/ ) as well as a TEFL School and we were founded as an English school in 1994 by Richard Clarke and we have thirty years of experience of providing classes for our graduates. We know the English teaching market in Spain better than anybody else.
The Inside Information that you need to know about (or find out the hard way) is that English classes constantly come and go. This is a closely kept secret that other programs don’t want you to find out, because they don’t have the solution to this problem. But Canterbury English does!
The other TEFL programmes in Spain and around the world make you believe that once you get a job for the hours you need, it’s a fixed job and you’ve got it for a year or for life. This is simply not true, because jobs come and go, private classes come and go. You need to have a constant supply of jobs and that’s what the Canterbury English teaching Academy offers our TEFL graduates.
Here’s where Canterbury English comes to the rescue once more. We will not only provide you with the hours you need for the initial month after the course has finished, we will keep sending you offers all year round. What you don’t know and what other organizations don’t tell you, is that it’s not just about getting the hours at the beginning, it’s about keeping them throughout the year and then having summer work as well. This is totally logical, but few people realize it until it happens to them. With Canterbury English, you will receive direct class offers from us. It’s not about farming you out after the TEFL course has finished and more or less forgetting you, which is what other TEFL courses do, it’s about replacing the class hours that stop for many different reasons.
Here are some of them: the client wants a new teacher, the client runs out of money, the client changes jobs, the client is too busy, the client has passed the exam they were studying for, the client goes on a long vacation, the client gets ill or has an accident, the client’s grandmother dies, the client has a baby, the client decides to learn another language… These are just a few of the logical, real life situations that happen in the English teaching profession. All veteran English teachers know that classes come and go, and only Canterbury English can keep your hours at a maximum all year long with class offers. We’re talking about your bread and butter and we don’t mess around with this. We have many teachers who after five or ten years are still buying their bread and butter with money they earn at Canterbury English.
And so back to the first question, “The 10 Reasons to Choose our TEFL Program” and “Why Canterbury English?”: We hope that this question has been sufficiently answered! If not, you can email the founder, and he will be happy to answer any more questions that you may have.
While Teaching english as a second language in Madrid, you will savour the fascinating hispanic culture and get to know the lovely Spanish people with their big hearts!
