TEFL CERTIFICATION
We strongly recommend a TEFL Certification for candidates applying to teach in South Korea.
Due to online programs becoming more easily accessible and the increasing popularity of South Korea as a teaching destination, those candidates with a TEFL certification will enjoy the following benefits.
- With the increase number of applicants with certification, employers will be more opt to hire a teacher with certification.
- It gives us room to negotiate an increase in salary. Normally with a 100+ hour TEFL certificate / diploma.
- In many of the jobs in Korea intensive training is not offer before starting to teach therefore the education you receive during a TEFL course will give you the basic skills necessary to teach English as a foreign language.
- Training will allow you to be more confident in front of a classroom. This is especially important since your teaching environment will probably be new and intimidating: new language, new country, new culture and new students. This will help break down some of the barriers that you may face.
- Even if you are an experienced teacher, a TEFL course can help develop your teaching skills.
- In some countries, TEFL certification is mandatory therefore if you wish to continue your teaching career elsewhere in the future you will have already obtained a TEFL certificate.
Dreamworks has partnered with TEFLOnline.com to offer high-quality, fully accredited (by ACCET.org, a U.S. Department of Education recognized agency) online TEFL courses.
