Madrid is a thoroughly modern and diverse city that is home to a multicultural population that is happy to share their hometown with visitors. As the capital and economic hub of the country, Madrid is also known for its booming market for qualified English language teachers, with a large number of jobs available in many different fields. Public and private schools, language centers and private businesses are all good options to explore once you have completed the course.
Madrid is also popular due to its wide choice of things to see and do. At one end of the scale the city has several world-class museums and galleries, such as the Museo del Prado, Museo Reina Sofía and Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza. If art and history is not your thing then maybe you will enjoy the vibrant nightlife that offers a new experience every night of the week. Or maybe you would prefer to chill out in one of the city’s many peaceful parks and gardens that provide the perfect environment for relaxation.
Although Madrid is a large capital city, the center is easily explored on foot. If you want to explore the wider area you can take advantage of the inexpensive public transport system that includes the Metro, bus services, suburban trains and a public bicycle rental service (BiciMad).
The School
The Madrid CertTESOL course is validated by Trinity College London which means it is recognised by the British Council who have teaching jobs on offer in dozens of countries worldwide. With a CertTESOL qualification you can also confidently apply to most other international educational organisations, no matter what type of school or the age range of the students. With a combined experience of over 60 years in the field of English language teaching, the Madrid tutors will provide the very best start to your new teaching career.
During the course each trainee is given the opportunity to specialize in teaching English to young learners, teaching business related English, or to stick with teaching general English. For the above reasons, as well as its rating of a QCF Level 5 high-quality standard, the Madrid school is regarded as one of the most reputable training centers in the world.
