Accommodation during in-class TEFL courses can differ based on location. While the course fee generally doesn't encompass housing, we offer guidance on trusted and comfortable housing options tailored for a four-week training duration. Most often, participants can choose accommodations that have been vetted for both comfort and affordability. Common options, detailed on our course location pages, range from shared apartments where you have a private bedroom but share amenities like kitchens and living spaces, to various types of hotels, guesthouses and hostels. Always ensure you budget accordingly for this crucial aspect of your training experience.

Can I stay in a shared apartment during my in-class TEFL course?
Yes, staying in a shared apartment is a popular choice among in-class TEFL trainees. In these accommodations, you will enjoy a private bedroom while sharing common spaces like the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. This arrangement is not only cost-effective, allowing you to split rent and utilities, but it also fosters camaraderie. Preparing meals in the communal kitchen and mingling in shared areas can lead to strong bonds with fellow trainees, making the course journey collaborative and supportive.
Can I stay in a hostel during my in-class TEFL course?
Hostels are another budget-friendly option that are available in many locations, particularly larger cities. Daily rates are kept low and you can usually choose between different size dormitories or private rooms. Many hostels have shared cooking facilities and common areas where you can hang out with other trainees and travellers from around the world. As with all our recommended accommodation, every hostel is regularly inspected by our staff members to ensure a good standard of cleanliness, safety and service is maintained.
Can I choose a homestay option during my in-class TEFL course?
Although homestays are only available in a few of our TEFL course locations, they are a popular choice with many trainees. With this option you get a private bedroom within the home of a local family. There are many benefits to home stay accommodation, in particular the chance to be immersed in the local culture and language. This option generally includes breakfast and dinner which are spent interacting with your host family. You will be given your own key and you will be free to come and go as you please, although it is important that you respect the rules of the house. Some homestays will include a private bathroom, while others will have shared facilities.
All our host families are thoroughly screened to ensure they meet the stringent standards we set for our homestay programs. In almost every case they will have plenty of experience in hosting foreign guests, and all will be keen to share their local community and culture with you.
Can I stay in a hotel or guesthouse during my in-class TEFL course?
In the majority of course locations there will also be a range of hotels and guesthouses for you to choose from. Our centers often have good working relationships with local establishments, many of which offer our trainees a special discounted monthly rate. Depending on the destination, we can generally offer recommendations to suit most preferences and individual budgets.
Can I make my own accommodation arrangements during my in-class TEFL course?
Although we will have a number of different options at each location to recommend, you are also free to make your own arrangements if you prefer. If you have friends or family in the area you might be able to save yourself some cash, however, it is important that you are located within easy reach of the training center as daily attendance is required throughout the length of the course.
