If you’re a non-native speaker of English looking for a career change or would like to travel and work anywhere in the world, a TEFL Certificate could be the answer. With a rise in the learning of English as a foreign language, the number of non-natives becoming qualified in TEFL has also risen.

TtMadrid has seen hundreds of non-native students achieve its TEFL Certificate, from all over the world, including Russia, Spain, Croatia and Holland.

Will I get a job as a non-native?   

The answer is YES! You will find a job after the course. When you complete the course you have access to the agencies, academies and schools we work with. We have 100% successful job placement.

“Many people are worried that they won’t get a job after the course. After working in companies like Telefonica, Real Madrid, Thyssen Krupp, Deloitte and many others, I can assure you that there is a demand for non-natives in Madrid.” – TtMadrid graduate, Filip Liovic (Croatian).

How could you use a TEFL course as a non-native?

Our graduates have found work in many of the Fortune 500 companies in Spain, or have even moved to different countries and taught English throughout the world. Our accredited TEFL course is recognized worldwide.

What support do we offer for non-natives?

We will support you through the whole process and offer additional support for non-natives with pronunciation and general speaking.

Before joining the course you will be given a level test by the Director of Studies, who will identify areas for improvement and assess your level for both the course and finding work afterwards. Applicants should have a Proficient level of English. 

What advantages do non-native teachers have over native teachers?

Non-native speakers have an excellent knowledge of grammar and understand how to learn it, knowing exactly what students need to progress.

“Among other advantages, I studied with 18 different people which exposed me to all types of accents in my group. It meant that I made friends and was able to practice my English with people from all over the world.”
