Overview
People are attracted to teaching English for different reasons. Whatever the reason, though, it's a rewarding career and EFL teachers are in high demand around the world. It's a fantastic chance to explore the world and see places many people dream of visiting. Even if you're only interested in teaching English for a year or two, a TEFL certificate opens up many opportunities. Experience another culture first-hand while living in a foreign country. Learn about different ways of thinking and the customs of others while building new friendships. Teaching abroad is also a great way to immerse yourself in a new language, which can have significant advantages in other fields should you decide you've had enough of teaching.

    Course reviews

    • MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!

    • Doing NMP with WBS has provided me with the basic and highly valuable skills as I prepare myself for a leadership role within my organisation. The programme had practical examples which I could relate to my real situation at work.
