We will assist you throughout your entire TEFL career.  We begin our lifelong job placement assistance in week 2 of the course. We will assist you in making a teaching resume, as well as begin to discuss your future job interests and set up interviews. We are fortunate to have a very high placement rate and have a strong professional relationship with many of the local school Directors. While you are with us, you will create a professional, teaching digital portfolio to be used during the interview process.

Throughout the year, we place graduates in Costa Rica in the Central  Valley, in Coastal and more remote towns.  We work with several well-established language institutes and international schools that look forward to working with our TEFL trainees, due to our reputation for having the most prepared TEFL-certified graduates.

We suggest the following steps to our trainees when searching for a TEFL job:

• Identify the areas you would like to work in, and be open to working in the central valley, where the majority of the jobs are located.
• Make the suggested changes to your resume as soon as possible. We will send your updated resume to potential employers, train you on interviewing in Costa Rica, and clarify any expectations and concerns.
• Let us know your availability date. Some of you will want to begin working right away, and others may wait. This process can take from one week to one month or longer, depending on where and when you want to work.
• Accept interviews as soon as possible. Get a feel for the way schools are run here and a feel for your options. Many schools now conduct SKYPE or WhatsApp interviews, which can be done here at school.
• If you want to work outside CR, we will assist you in this process and connect you with the many schools, agencies, and graduates that we work with. We will also work as a reference on your behalf. We will also give you leads and put you in touch with graduates who are working in that country (if available) and follow up to make sure you have been placed.
• Contact our graduates (we will put you in touch) who are currently working in Costa Rica and around the globe to get some first-hand insight on the country and/or school of interest.
• Check out our TEFL BLOG for graduate stories.
• Contact us for the emails of local school directors and our graduates to get in touch with them before or during your TEFL course.
