Everyone who has completed this course to date and has been eligible for employment (you must hold a university degree in any subject in order to be considered for positions in Britain and Ireland) have found work teaching. This is initially short-term or substitution work, but over time it develops into a full-time contract (normally 20 hours a week).
Job opportunities in Ireland: There are two main types of courses in Ireland, junior short courses (2 weeks) and adult (20s & 30s) academic year programmes (24 weeks). The junior students mainly come from France and Spain while the adults tend to come from Asia and South America. The peak demand is in the summer months but throughout the year there is a strong demand for teachers in Ireland due to the combination of a favourable exchange rate and our educational visa rules. Unless you have a European passport, however, it can be difficult to get a work permit.
Job opportunities in other countries: There is a demand for English language teachers around the world at the moment but it is strongest in China and the UAE. That is where you will find the best paying opportunities with additional benefits like paid flights and holidays. In countries like Spain you have to be on the ground there at the start of the academic year and the pay is lower, they also tend to have a stronger preference for native speakers.
English Studio Dublin Job Placement Service: Through our recruitment partner D1 Resourcing we can place graduates of our Trinity Cert. TESOL in positions in China, Russia and Arabia which can pay up to €50k a year including flights and paid holidays. Through our contacts with other schools we also help to organise interviews for those who want to work in Ireland and support them with references.
