TEFL Internships has joined with TEFL Boot Camp (TEFL Educator) and Enrich Education of Hangzhou, China to offer quality internships that will get your TEFL experience going.

Whether just a summer experience or short-term position or even to jump start a career teaching English abroad, our internships are tailored to help you get what you want.

How our Internships Work

This is NOT a tour and holiday type internship.  This is a working internship where you will be in the classroom teaching.  Our goal is to help you experience and explore TEFL as a career and to get you on the road to success as quickly as possible.

Join our program and earn an 80 hour teaching qualification before you leave for China. While in China you will complete another sixty hours and be awarded a 140 hour TEFL Certification that will include over 200 hours of practical teaching experience. All that in only a few months! You will soon be ready to tackle even the best of jobs teaching English.

In only a few months you will gain a respected TEFL qualification, over 200+ hours of real teaching experience and be ready and be able to work just about anywhere.  You will also have a solid job offer at your internship school built into your internship agreement.

Depending on when people apply, not everyone is able to complete the first half of training before they leave for China.  It is best if you do, but if time is short, you can complete it once in China.

Once Accepted into the Program and Before Leaving for your Adventure in China

• You will study How to Teach English and earn an 80 hour TEFL certification from TEFL Boot Camp that includes all the basic teaching skills plus a Teaching English to Young Learners (TEFL) certification.
• You will receive expert tutoring and guidance from an experienced teacher-trainer with 20+ years experience overseas.
• You will receive assistance obtaining your visa for China.
• You will receive a written agreement with your school that will include a job offer to begin at the end of your internship (accepting the job offer is not required)

If you wish to stay in China, you will receive free placement assistance for a full-time job teaching English.

Interns will have the option of being hired by the very school where they served their internship for a minimum of 5500-6000+RMB per month (university positions will pay a bit less) and the school will either extend your visa or help you obtain a new visa.
