Can I get a TEFL job independently from TEFL England?

I was wondering whether, after completing one of the TEFL courses, it's possible to get help finding a job in a country other than those advertised on the website at that time? Sorry if this is a stupid question and thanks for your help!

This is a very common question that we receive here at TEFL England all the time.

The answer has to be a resounding YES!

Yes, you can get jobs all over the world.

The jobs on the site are just organisations/companies/schools that have directly contacted us. They are a drop in the ocean in what is available out there. Most people actually don’t get positions through us but find their own jobs from websites, newspapers and sending their CVs off to schools in the country they want to teach in.

Good starting places on your TEFL job hunt are the directory that we can offer to our TEFL graduates, websites such as www.TEFL.com , www.TEFL.net and www.TEFLscotland.com/jobs, the local yellow page equivalent for wherever you are looking to go and also Susan Griffith's 'Teaching English Abroad' a fantastic resource book.

That's really interesting to read as i'm interested in teaching English in Turkey and I'd noticed you didn't have Turkey on your list of countries and I hadn't been sre if I could work in different countries or only the ones on the TEFl England site.

Hi Stacey, Yes, you can work all over the world with your TEFL England Certificate. We are primarily a training organisation not a recruitment organisation and the help with job finding and CV checking is a completely frwee service that we give to our course graduates.
