No degree? You can still teach abroad. But when you’re contending for jobs against teachers who do have a degree, you might benefit from a little CV booster to give you an edge – and that’s where TEFL internships come in.
With a internship teaching abroad, not only will you have an amazing adventure with lots of likeminded people, you’ll also get valuable teaching experience, accredited online TEFL training beforehand and a genuine taster of what life is like for TEFL teachers. Plus, you’ll get full support from our in-country partners throughout your trip. It’s a no-brainer.
Thailand TEFL Internship
The Land of Smiles is at the top of many TEFL teachers’ bucket lists – but to get a full-time TEFL job there, you will need a bachelor’s degree.
