Apply for teaching jobs in Africa
On completion of your UK-TEFL course, you will be able to apply for jobs all around the globe, including Africa.
Although there is a huge demand for English lessons in many African countries, there often isn't the infrastructure or finance to pay for them. Private language schools do not exist in the same volumes of other continents such as Asia or South America, so the types of jobs available to newly qualified EFL teachers are often restricted to voluntary, or very low paid positions.
