2. Business English
3. Telephone teaching, technology and blended learning
4. How to teach intensive courses
5. The quickest and most effective techniques for getting teaching jobs in Spain
6. What is included in standard English exams
7. How to assess students' levels.
Finding Work In Madrid
Our knowledge and help with finding English teachers work in Madrid for our graduates is second to none. We have extensive contacts with over 300 agencies and schools in Madrid, many of whom only hire our graduates as they know they will be hiring quality teachers. This allows us to guarantee you job interviews on completion of the course. We are a young, dynamic team with 30 years teaching experience between us and with your interests at heart, so we are considered to have a very friendly, but professional atmosphere. Once you graduate you are always welcome to come back, to use our internet and teaching resource facilities, and get our advice with finding work in Madrid. Many of our graduates do come back and we remain in a close network with them, distinguishing us from other TEFL courses in Madrid.
Getting Set up in Madrid
We will help make your initial transition to Madrid as easy as possible. On the first Friday of the course you will have the opportunity to meet past grads and see a unique side of Madrid when the last course takes out the next course on a night out in Madrid! We also offer advice on accommodation, insurance, banking, mobile phones, and transportation. The ability to speak Spanish is not necessary to be an English teacher, although if you would prefer to learn Spanish you can do so at our sister school La Adventura EspaƱola- http://www.laemadrid.com/, one of the premier language schools in Madrid!
Don't have an EU citizenship?
This course is open to all native-level speakers of English, including those without an EU citizenship. If you do not have an EU citizenship, we have a Spanish Adventure Visa Programme. We have teamed up with La Adventura EspaƱola to allow these students to be in Spain on a year-long student visa. For more information go to: http://www.ttmadrid.com/prices-dates.php

You need to be educated to at least age 21 and have a degree, although there are sometimes exceptions, and are dealt with on a case by case basis. You must also speak English at a native level, meaning that it does not have to be your first language, but you must be able to read, write, and speak English fluently. You must also be approachable and organized.
