Paris is an amazing location for getting certified to teach English as a foreign language. By the end of your training, you’ll have become a certified tefl teacher at the finest and most professional course offered in Paris.

The City of Lights will dazzle you with breathtaking landscapes, historical landmarks and beautiful scenery. From the meandering River Seine, to the iconic Eiffel Tower, Paris will leave you with an unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

While taking the course you’ll be able to see a side of Paris that average travelers would never see. Despite its size, Paris has a charm that can only be discovered by walking down its streets and interacting with Parisians themselves.

During your free time, you’ll have the opportunity to walk down famous boulevards and stand in awe of historically significant art while touring world-class museums. Whether it’s a bike ride through Bastille, a climb up the Eiffel Tower, a tour of Notre Dame or a walk up to Sacré Cœur church, you’ll learn as much from the city as you will from your training course.
