Now…the operative word – in my opinion – in TEFL is “TEACH”.
Now, why is this important?
Well because, by obtaining a TEFL certificate you will be given the opportunity (in many non-English speaking countries) to work in public schools alongside fully qualified, career teachers with many years of experience.
So, in other words, a TEFL certificate can be a “fast-track” into the teaching profession.
The teaching profession is a career choice and, one of the oldest, most honorable trades on the planet.
So, by obtaining a TEFL certificate you would be “fast-tracking” into the teaching profession: a profession that comes with a high level of responsibility, requires diligence, patience, dedication, and hard work.
A profession where you are required to have sufficient knowledge, a wide range of skills, and be able to impart information on to students.
Like any serious profession, the teaching profession, for sure, is not one to be sniffed at or balked at.
Being a teacher, is hard work.
