Description: Teaching English abroad in Germany for 6 or 12 months is a fantastic way to live overseas and get paid to travel the world! Once you have achieved your TEFL certification through TEFL Institute, you will be able to get a paid job in another country and live the life of a local citizen.

You will have the opportunity to experience a land, its people, and culture firsthand. You will see the sights and sample the local cuisine while making friends that will last a lifetime. Whether it's Asia, Latin America, Europe, or somewhere in between, TEFL Institute is the gateway to making your travel dreams a reality.

Germany lies at the crossroads of history. From Charlemagne to the Holy Roman Empire to the Berlin Wall, the legacy of the German people is irrefutable. Sitting smack in the middle of Europe, Germany is easily accessible to France, Demark, Poland and Switzerland, just to name a few. But you will never run out of things to explore in the Fatherland. The German people work hard and play harder and they encourage English teachers working in Germany to abide by this same philosophy. Their automobiles define luxury and their cuckoo clocks reflect a craftsmanship that can be noticed in various aspects of the German society. Mark your calendar for Oktoberfest, which brings beer lovers and celebrants together for roughly two weeks, (mid September to early October).   

Our 120 hour course provides the world standard in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. You will complete 100 hours of curriculum combined with an additional 20 hours of in-person, hands-on experience.

* You can teach in some countries without a college degree, as long as you have achieved your TEFL Institute certification and are a native/fluent English speaker.

* Once you are certified, you can find a job and start teaching immediately. Or you can choose to get your certification now and decide later where you would like to teach.

* TEFL Institute-certified teachers can expect to earn a competitive wage while enjoying a reasonable standard of living in their host country. There are even opportunities to save considerable amounts of money by working overtime with private lessons!
