Which country is best for a TESOL course?
Choosing the best country for a TESOL course depends on various factors, including your personal preferences, career goals, and the type of experience you seek. While online TESOL courses offer flexibility and convenience, in-class TESOL courses in different countries provide unique benefits that enhance the learning experience. Factors to consider include:
- Cultural Exposure: Countries with a rich cultural heritage can offer a more immersive experience.
- Teaching Demand: Some countries have a higher demand for English teachers, providing better job opportunities post-certification.
- Quality of Training: Consider countries known for high educational standards in TESOL training.
- Cost and Living Expenses: The cost of the course and living expenses in the country should align with your budget.
Our in-class TESOL courses are available in various locations worldwide, allowing you to choose a country that best fits your personal and professional development needs. Each location offers a unique set of advantages, whether it is cultural immersion, high teaching demand, or exceptional training quality.

What are the main advantages of in-class TESOL courses?
In-class TESOL courses offer several key advantages that distinguish them from online alternatives:
- Observed Teaching Practice (OTP): One of the most significant benefits is the inclusion of OTP, where trainees plan and deliver lessons to real learners in an authentic classroom setting. This practical experience is guided and supervised by experienced teacher trainers, who provide valuable feedback for improvement.
- Interactive Learning with Professional Tutors: Theoretical aspects of the course are delivered by professional tutors with extensive experience in teaching and training. This interactive environment allows for immediate clarification of doubts, personalized guidance, and the opportunity to engage with the material more deeply.
- Peer Learning and Support: Being in a classroom with other trainees fosters an environment of collaborative learning. Sharing ideas, experiences, and theories with peers can be highly beneficial for professional growth.
- Local Employment Opportunities: Many in-class TESOL courses are located in areas with high demand for qualified teachers. The proximity to potential employers often enables trainees to secure teaching positions quickly, sometimes even before course completion. Additionally, the training centers' local knowledge and contacts significantly aid in job placement.
These advantages make in-class TESOL courses particularly appealing for those seeking comprehensive training combined with practical teaching experience and immediate job opportunities in the field.

Asia
Asia is well known for having more TESOL related jobs than any other region, which is why we have plenty of training centers to choose from. Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and we have three centers waiting for you: Bangkok, Phuket, and Hua Hin. Although the capital and the country's leading beach resorts are very different destinations, they both have a strong demand for TESOL certified teachers. Elsewhere, you can take your course in Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Nepal, South Korea, or Vietnam, all of which offer plenty of post-course job options.
Europe
ESL teaching jobs are not hard to come by across much of Europe. When you also consider the wide variety of cultures and the seemingly endless opportunities for travel and adventure, it is easy to see why it is such a popular destination for thousands of foreign teachers each year. Teachers have been coming to Italy for many years and we can offer two great locations for your training: Rome and Florence. You will also have a choice of centers in Spain, France, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
Latin America
Latin America has a wide variety of countries and cultures to explore and there are plenty of jobs on offer in many areas once your training is done. We have centers in some of the most popular tourist hotspots in the region, as well as some that are a little more off the beaten path. Argentina and Costa Rica are home to two of the biggest markets for teachers in the region and we have training centers in both of them. Our other centers in Latin America can be found in Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru.
Other Options
If you want to complete your in-class training before you leave your home country or you have always wanted to visit one of the world's most famous cities, then our center in New York City could be perfect for you. Last and by no means least is our North African center in the beautiful city of Alexandria, Egypt. Why not combine your TESOL certification course with a visit to one of the most exciting destinations in the world?
