Why complete a tefl courseIt has always been a dream of mine to someday live abroad amongst a culture different from my own. I therefore decided that once I finish my degree, I would take a gap year and spend my gap year abroad.

Currently, there is a great worldwide interest in communicating in english, making a TEFL (Teach english as a foreign language) certificate a valuable tool to possess.
