Entry Conditions

The TEFL Paris Certificate Course is open to adults aged 20 or over who have a university degree or equivalent educational level, work experience or demonstrable aptitude.

We accept native speakers (people who have spoken English since birth) based on the strength of their CV/resume and Application Form.

We also happily accept non-native English speakers as long as they clearly (and honestly!) indicate their level of English and reasons for wanting to do the TEFL Paris Certificate Course.

One of the joys of our course is the mixing of cultures, unique in the French teaching world, where we can learn from each other's experiences and lives. This is something we value greatly, and indeed, the ability to be aware of, highlight and value differences is a highly prized skill and one of the tools an accomplished teacher should have in her or his language teaching toolbox.

Examples of the many non-native English speakers who have successfully completed our course include people who:

◊	come from a country where English is widely spoken
◊	have grown up in a bilingual family or gone to a bilingual school
◊	have achieved a high level of proficiency in English as a non-native speaker

We normally conduct telephone interviews with non-native English speakers or those whose nationality is not from an English-speaking country to make sure their level of English will enable them to benefit to the maximum from our course.

Please also see our How to Apply section for more details.

Important Note: Please also send us your CV/resume and a short introduction to yourself in a separate e-mail to manager@teflparis.com

All applicants should complete our application form below in full.
