Teaching English is the next best thing, or even better!

As valuable as an international internship might be to your career development, many college students and recent graduates have not yet had a chance to gain the work experience and language skills required for the foreign marketplace. Another more immediate factor in the inability to participate in such programs is lack of finances. If you find yourself yearning for an international experience but fall into either of the above categories, you should seriously consider teaching English for a brief period as a way to gain intercultural perspectives in a professional environment while earning an income. The advantages to becoming TEFL-trained are endless:

Most affordable way to go abroad and stay for an indefinite time
Our courses located across the globe cost $1400 - $1700. At the end of 4 weeks you will have a paid job in the country of your dreams.

Free time to pursue real career interests and make connections
Most EFL teachers work only 20-25 hours per week. Think about how much time is left for you to investigate opportunities in your desired field and meet people who might be able to make your goals a reality.

Potential to save enough money to pay off student loans and other expenses
You can acquire a TEFL job in S. Korea or Taiwan in a heartbeat and make a high enough salary to save at least $1,000 per month!

And these are just a few incentives for taking a TEFL course. The benefits are much more than simply earning money while traveling. I encourage you to use it as a tool to mold your global experience on your own terms.
