Our job placement assistance scheme is unrivalled. We do not know of any other training company that goes to the same lengths that we do in order to help you get working as quickly as possible after finishing the course.
Lifetime assistance
EBC's belief is that if you come to us to study, we try our hardest to help get you working as quickly as possible after finishing the course. We can assure you that we will be here if you need us and we will always be happy to answer questions and help you look for work in other areas if you want us to. It's all part of the job placement assistance service, whether you want it or not, once you study with EBC you become part of our ever-growing family of globetrotting teachers.
Our job placement assistance scheme is only for EBC graduates. Many people who have taken other courses (usually CELTA and Trinity) write us asking for help to get jobs. Unfortunately for them we have to turn them away. Here's an example sent in by someone called Linda:
"I have just recently become Cambridge CELTA certified
(Eastleigh College, UK) & would like to secure a TEFL position in Spain to improve my Spanish. ....... In hind-sight I now realise that it would have been more productive to enrol for my TEFL course with an Organisation like yours :-) Oh well, I guess that's life!"
There are many people like Linda who write to us. If you study with EBC you won't share their lack of job problems.
EBC believes you should not have to knock on doors looking for jobs
At EBC our belief is that if you train with us you should get a job with us. Our sister company is
EBC y Asociados
Idiomas, a Madrid based EFL school. This means that (unlike other TEFL certificate training companies) there is a good chance that you will get hired (subject to availability) as soon as you graduate. Isn't this better than having to go around knocking on doors like a vacuum cleaner salesman using a list of schools you've been given?
As with all good companies we have contingency measures should EBC y Asociados not have work immediately available. We are also a supplier of TEFL Certified teachers to
over 180 language schools in Madrid. The list includes internationally recognised companies.
Our procedure is to send your applications including your CV to these organisations along with a cover letter from us stating that you (subject to passing the course) will be an EBC International TEFL Certificate graduate. The cover letter has been requested by the EFL companies so that they know your application comes from us and that you trained with us. It helps them sort out the "street" applications from serious job placement applications.
We manage the process on your behalf so you don't have to waste shoe leather pounding the streets knocking on doors. As you can see, we go that extra mile to open the doors to jobs for you. After that the rest is up to you at the interview. You aren't left entirely on your own regarding interviews as our job workshop training explains what you should and should not do when interviewing for TEFL positions in Spanish
EFL companies.
Be aware that finding jobs in Madrid is generally easier than in other cities in
Spain.
Your TEFL and TESOL certificates plus working with internationally recognised companies via EBC y Asociados Idiomas will give you a powerful CV/Resume. The prospective employers you meet when you begin your professional career favour candidates with international work experience. Should you at some point choose to change careers, the experience you have gained through teaching, working and living in different countries will always be one of your strongest assets.
EBC believes in helping you get a job regardless of where you are
In addition to a real job placement programme in Madrid, as a graduate, you will also get access to our web based list of
over 800 TEFL schools around the world so you can instantly apply for jobs anywhere.
EBC believes that getting a TEFL job is not a matter of knocking on doors or using shot-gun CV/resume mailing strategies hoping that someone will hire you. We want to really help you, our future graduates, get a job. We are in the process of establishing relationships with ESL schools around the world. Our relationship management is ongoing and aims to establish relationships with ESL schools in most non-English speaking countries that require good EFL teachers.
The objective of establishing relationships is to help your application get to the top of the list.
