If you are applying for a Public School job, this certificate will qualify you for a higher pay bracket, as well as make you a more attractive, competitive candidate. Why not increase your chances of being hired and at the same time, guarantee yourself a better salary? Remember that for EPIK Public School positions, you must complete the program before your teaching contract/semester starts. We strongly recommend that all EPIK Public School applicants get a TESOL/TEFL certification.
If you are applying for a Private School job, a TEFL/TESOL certificate tells employers that you are serious about a position and dedicated to the ESL teaching field. We suggest that our teachers get a certificate before the school semester starts, so you can get a higher salary starting at the beginning of your contract. However, if you finish the course during the semester, your pay will be raised from the month you submitted your certificate. There are many TESOL/TEFL programs out there, but we recommend this 120 Hour TESOL/ITTT course to you.

Roughly half the course is focused on subjects related to teaching skills that are required in the EFL classroom, this includes teaching theories and methodologies, classroom management, lesson planning and how to test and evaluate the progress of your students. The remainder of the course is based around the subject of language awareness; this covers all the main areas of English grammar such as the parts of speech and the tense system, as well as other items such as pronunciation.
