Thank for the post.

I can see why you might have got annoyed, especially if you are looking for a good teaching position abroad, and already have TEFL training and then came to us and we said you can only do our programs if you do the TEFL training. I get how people could get annoyed at that. We are sorry for wasting your time in that regard.

We offer TEFL Training and a guaranteed paid teaching job to degree holders.

Job boards are not exclusive to TEFL trained teachers. There are people who are not yet trained who visit these boards. We get a lot of inquiries from these boards from people who haven't started their TEFL journey like yourself. And we do run a good program for newbies to the TEFL industry, with many good reviews to help us in the credibility side of things - just search Google. We will look at ways we can more quickly or clearly state that we pretty much can only currently serve newbies to the TEFL industry, so we do appreciate the feedback.

Lastly, being a TEFL teacher myself, You do need good training to get started. Online TEFL is not sufficient, and many have been lured by the cheap price on online TEFL certificates only to find it a hard slog and with the lack of teaching practice, not effective. If you already have TEFL where you learned face-to-face, then for sure there are jobs everywhere on the internet as you say - there are many routes to teaching abroad.

TEFL Heaven breaks you in gently to the country you want to teach in, helps you gain friends through 4 weeks TEFL training, and offer a guaranteed paid teaching job. We also offer support in the country. There is a lot of value to our services, which is one route out of many routes to teaching abroad. I can see why some might think that this is expensive, but it is an investment. After you are qualified, you are able to get jobs and an income. Some of our teachers are still teaching English 6 years on, and have done so in many countries. You get what you pay for. Check our reviews on external sites.
