Are there any age limits for TEFL/TESOL training?
You must be at least 18 years old to study for the TEFL/TESOL Certification at the Partner School. You must be at least 21 years old to teach at our Partner School. Generally speaking, ESL teachers range in age from 18 to 80, although it is more difficult to find employment if you are under 21 and over 50. Preferred age depends very much on the country, the culture, the school, and the type of students the school has; and legal requirements may also play a part. Some schools prefer more mature teachers, especially if their students are primarily business people. Others feel that younger teachers are more “dynamic” and “modern” in their approach. While still other countries are so desperate for teachers that age is irrelevant. Also, some countries will not issue a work visa for teachers over 45 years of age. Do not let the question of age put you off. With our Partner School´s TEFL/TESOL Certificate, you will undoubtedly find employment.
