TEFL / TESOL CERTIFICATION COURSE
IN TOULOUSE, FRANCE

TEFL / TESOL Course Overview

Looking to earn an accredited 5-week TEFL TESOL certification that will qualify you for thousands of English teaching jobs in France and around the World?

This state-of-the-art TEFL certification course not only provides expert-led training and a recognized qualification but personalized job guidance assistance for finding jobs teaching English in France and around the globe.

The fastest-growing city in France, Toulouse looks across the Pyrenees to Spain and"bohemian Barcelona" for its inspiration, turning its back on "polished Paris" and "bourgeois Bordeaux."

It is the modern combined with the old that makes Toulouse a fun place to live. The historic center has the ancient feel of Florence or Siena, while the presence of Airbus and other high-tech industries, in addition to internationally renowned universities means that the city has an international, cutting-edge side as well.

In some of the more boisterous restaurants and taverns, you can find yourself sharing long tables with students (there are over 100,000 of them in Toulouse) and aerospace engineers! A crossroads of Europe, Toulouse is very well connected to the rest of the continent by hundreds of daily low-cost flights.

There are over 30 language teaching organizations in the city, so teaching opportunities are available to those who qualify for employment. France is currently undergoing a "TEFL boom," making Toulouse an ideal locale for earning your TEFL Certification.
