Throughout the process of searching for a TESOL program, many prospective students look for a distinguishing factor of any one program. The truth is that regardless of what program one chooses, s/he will get a TESOL certificate once the course has finished. Canterbury English gives its program participants more than just that certificate.
Both during and after the TESOL program, Canterbury English provides participants with job opportunities and helps each individual cultivate their own desired experience here in Spain.
FUTURE GRADUATES
The belief at Canterbury English is that people “LEARN BY DOING” and should “GET PAID FOR DOING.” As a result, while students are earning their TESOL certificate, Canterbury English pays them to teach their required practice teaching hours.
Canterbury English also offers the opportunity for students to learn about three distinct types of ESL courses. While the general TESOL program attracts many, others want to focus on a certain demographic. Thus, Canterbury includes business and children’s modules of TESOL throughout the course. The demand for these particular courses is constantly increasing, and Canterbury wants to give its students an advantage over other prospective ESL teachers.
GRADUATES
Often times, institutions offering TESOL courses provide an individual with his/her certificate and then releases him/her in to the ESL job market. Not Canterbury. In Spain, where the unemployment rate is 12%, it is undeniably a trying experience to find a job. Once students graduate from the TESOL course, Canterbury guarantees that they have a job with the company during the summer and school year. This allows people to stay longer in Spain, continue their exploration of the country, and increase their familiarity with the international ESL market.
Canterbury offers its teachers the full market pay rate for ESL teachers in Madrid which is 10-20 euros an hour for individual classes and 11-18 euros an hour for larger classes. Other factors taken in to consideration include teacher experience and whether the class is a general or more specific course.
Lastly, for those who want to teach ESL somewhere other than Canterbury English, the program staff can help them fine tune their interviewing skills, perfect their resumes and learn how to market themselves effectively to prospective employers. In the end, Canterbury English offers a superior ESL experience to all those who have a passion for teaching, fun and exploration.
