Our local partner guarantees a paid job placement in a local school. Please note that recruitment and school hiring are subject to seasonal demand. The signing of an employment contract and the commencement of teaching duties may take longer than 30 days if the completion of the TEFL/TESOL course, orientation, and/or the participant's arrival coincides with a school break period.

As a consequence, specific job placement timelines cannot be guaranteed, and clients are advised to budget accordingly.

If a teacher applying to a position offered by our local partner fails three interviews or declines a high-quality placement opportunity, Angloville and its local partner shall be deemed to have fully discharged their obligation with respect to the guaranteed placement.
