Three meals a day will be provided during your stay. We cater for vegetarians and vegans as well.
As an addition, Angloville will organise a city tour on the day before the programme starts.
The answer here could be: it’s not a question of how many you should but how many you can.
We usually recommend doing 3 programmes with a week off in between to allow you to rest. Most of our volunteers and returning volunteers sign up for 3-6 weeks during the peak season such as summer. It is your decision whether you complete the programmes you have chosen within one month or take your time and complete each programme separately. We want to make sure that you receive the service which will suit your needs best. However, the majority of our mentors will complete the three week package within one month.
There are also situations when our mentors have no time to complete three programmes. If you work and cannot take time off but are thinking of changing your career, you can complete one or two programmes only, however the conditions would be different. To get more information please check our website.

If you join us for a 3-week package, the large amount of the AngloTEFL will be sponsored. The cost: €149 (with 99 EUR refundable deposit included)
In exchange you will get 210 hours of real life teaching experience, an opportunity to practice your skills and share best practices for teaching English to adults, teenagers and children.
When you join two weeks of the Angloville programmes, you will get 140 hours of real life teaching practice
The cost: €115 (non refundable deposit, instead of 319 EUR)

The online course is a part of our AngloTEFL Scholarship. There are two parts of the Scholarship:
Premier TEFL is an Irish organisation accredited by TQUK and ACDL. As a part of the Scholarship, you will have the opportunity to complete a 120-hour course at your own pace, within 90 days of receiving the code to access your account. The course consists of 10 modules. There is a 10 question test after each module, with all questions related to the information provided. You will learn about English language, the history, worldwide usage throughout the years, teaching grammar and vocabulary. You will also find answers about the class layout and different approaches to teaching certain aspects of English as a foreign language.
Our international programmes are addressed to all our mentors who have completed at least one Angloville programme in the past. These programmes will take place in England, Ireland and Malta. You will have a chance to meet students from Poland, Hungary, Italy and France in one place.
They differ from our standard programmes on the continent. First of all, they are 10 days in length, city tours/excursions take place almost every day. We love organising city games for you! Please note that there is no free city tour before the programme.
This will also be an opportunity for the students to visit other countries. They will most probably be visitors just as you, so you already have something to share and talk about.
It couldn’t be simpler! Just follow the link, fill out the form and wait for us to get in touch with you https://angloville.com/reference/
You need to contact the coordinator of the programme(s) you attended. They are the individuals who have worked with you closely and they should be able to write you a reference.
Native Speaker coordinator – she/he will be your first point of contact. The individual in this role explains your responsibilities during the programme and the rules you are required to follow. If you have any questions/issues during the program, please ask your NS Coordinator. Polish coordinator – this person is the first point of contact for the Polish participants. He or she will explain the rules and make sure that everyone speaks English. The coordinator will prepare materials, speaking session lists and will sort out any issues and last minute requirements. Although they may seem invisible to the native speakers volunteers, their role is very important.
Yes, as long as your English is at a near-native level. You need to be able to complete all written assignments and teaching practice requirements to the University of Cambridge standards. We advise that non-native speakers have a language level of IELTS 7 (or equivalent).
Due to the quality of the course, the cost is higher than TEFL for example. However, it is possible to get funding. Please, check with your government whether they offer this type of help. If you live abroad, you can also be eligible for financial help in the country you live in or in the country you plan on doing the CELTA course.

No, until June 2021 it is possible to take the course online. So this year is the best opportunity to start the CELTA course as you will be saving money and time on commuting, travel, accommodation, food, etc.
Yes, previous experience is not required
CELTA is designed as an entry-level qualification for trainees with little experience. However, many experienced teachers have taken the qualification in order to improve their teaching skills, provide them with a professional qualification and improve their overall confidence and English Language Teaching knowledge.
The CELTA absolutely qualifies you to teach children abroad as many of the skills and techniques you will learn can be adapted for use with children. We also run a workshop near the end of the course where we look at the various techniques used to teach children. The demand for teachers of young learners is very strong and a CELTA will undoubtedly put you in a position to teach children overseas!
With a CELTA, you can teach anywhere in the world, with the exception of countries where English is the first language. It’s not impossible to get jobs in these countries, but it isn’t what the CELTA qualification was designed for.

No, there is no exam.
According to Cambridge, almost 12,000 candidates take the CELTA course annually of which 3-5% fail the course. In 2020, ITTC, our training center partner, had a 100% pass rate as online CELTA students were better prepared and trained for the new challenges arisen with the worldwide situation.
Your programme usually starts on a Sunday. We will pick the whole group up from the meeting point in the departure city in the morning as we are aiming at arriving at the venue just in time for lunch. Also, on the last day of the programme the Angloville bus will come, pick you up and take you back to the city.
If you are thinking about combining the volunteering experience with visiting Central European cities and joining us for more than one programme, you will be responsible for booking your transportation between the departure cities for each of your programmes.
Arranging the travel is quite easy and can be done both online and at the ticket office.
We provide you with transportation between the departure city and the venue but if your programmes start in different cities, you need to arrange the travel between those cities yourself. Transport to our venues is provided by a bus. You will receive the day, time and meeting point by email, 2-3 weeks prior to the programme start date.
The deposit is a mandatory requirement to participate in an Angloville programme. It is also a way of showing your commitment.

Once you have successfully completed our programme, Angloville will refund you 99 EUR (30 EUR will be used for PayPal, bank and admin fees and all Local Eco & Tourism Taxes).
Angloville doesn’t own the hotels where the programmes are organised at and in case of any no-shows or last minute cancellations, we still have to cover the costs of the participants’ stay. To avoid such situations, we hold the deposit which you receive back.
Please be aware that you need to successfully complete the short Angloville Know-How training before joining the programme and the programme itself.
We do not offer any help at getting a visa. We can send a visa letter as a supporting document but we cannot guarantee that you will receive the visa.
