Should I get a TEFL or TESOL certification? If you enroll on a TEFL or TESOL certification course with ITTT you get to decide which acronym you have printed on your certificate.

How do I apply for a student visa to legally teach English in Spain? As Spain is a member of the EU, language schools generally prefer to hire teachers from fellow EU countries as they do not need to go through the hassle of applying for a work visa.

Many of these simply enter on a tourist visa and technically work illegally. While this is common practice and rarely has any negative consequences, there is an alternative for those who want to live and work in Spain. By enrolling on a study course (typically a Spanish language course), teachers can apply for a student visa that also allows them to legally work a certain number of hours per week.
