TEFL Internships
Our TEFL internships are a great way to start your teaching career. Get paid a great salary and receive support throughout your contract.
Our TEFL internships are open to anyone who has enroled on the Level 3 or Level 5 version of our TEFL course and meets the requirements listed for each opportunity. Our TEFL internships are the fastest way to kick start your TEFL career whilst receiving a higher level of support than standard TEFL jobs. Most of our TEFL internships will include 24×7 local support, an orientation week with lots of other foreign teachers, excursions, accommodation, living allowance, help getting a bank account and sim card, and fewer working hours than a standard contracted teacher . Our TEFL internships are the perfect way to bridge the gap between qualifying and starting a more formal teaching role.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How is an internship different to a job?
A TEFL internship is a short-term teaching position. You might be a teacher or a teaching assistant. It’s different from a teaching position because it’s a fully supported teaching position. It’s organised totally by a company that will hold your hand every step of the way. In other words, you don’t apply to the school but rather to a company for a specific position.
How do I apply for an internship?
The application for an internship can be filled in on our website. Our internship partner will then be in contact with you within a week or two.
How long until I hear from my internship application?
If you meet all the requirements for the internship you have applied for, you should expect to be contacted within 2 weeks of submitting your application. If you don’t meet the requirements, you will not be contacted so please ensure you read through them carefully before applying.

Accreditation & Quality Assurance
The TEFL Academy was the world’s first TEFL course provider to receive official recognition from government regulated awarding bodies in both the USA and UK. This means when you graduate you’ll hold a globally recognised Level 3 (120hr) Certificate or Level 5 (168hr) Diploma, meaning you can find work anywhere and apply for jobs immediately.
