Are free or cheap TEFL / TESOL Certification courses worth it? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs

Hours: Free TEFL / TESOL courses often lack the necessary study hours.
Accreditation: Most free TEFL / TESOL courses lack recognition.

How do I apply for a student visa to legally teach English in Europe? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
For non-EU citizens who want to teach English in Europe it can be a frustrating experience when it comes to getting a work visa. Due to this frustration, many teachers decide to work with only their initial tourist visa in their passport. Although this is technically illegal, it is a widespread practice in some of the most popular destinations such as France, Italy and Spain, and it rarely causes any problems. However, if this approach does not appeal to you, a student visa might be the answer. By enrolling in a local language course, you get to learn French, Italian or Spanish, while also being free to legally work as an EFL teacher for a certain number of hours each week.

TEFL salaries vs cost of living - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
One detail that people should consider when deciding where to work as an English teacher is how their potential salary weighs up against the local cost of living.
