1.2 If for any reason you decide to cancel your place on a course, after you have made your deposit payment, Global TEFL Partners cannot provide any refunds if we have already incurred costs in arranging your placement or if we have already refused other applicants.

3. Job Placement

3.1 All Global TEFL Partners approved TEFL/TESOL certificates are accepted throughout the world by reputable organizations who employ English Language teachers. This means that you will most likely secure a teaching job before, or shortly after, you complete your TEFL/TESOL course.

3.2 Please remember that all job placements are subject to an interview by the prospective employer. Due to the high number of sub standard applications ESL employers now receive by email we strongly recommend that you call, or visit prospective employers in person, rather than applying by email, to have any hope of a receiving a reply.

3.3 To date, we have not had one single course graduate wanting to teach, who has failed to secure a teaching position in South America, Europe and Asia. However, due to the many dynamics involved in the job recruitment and selection process we are unable to offer a refund of the deposit or course fees to any graduate who is unable to secure any teaching placement under any circumstances whatsoever.

3.4 There are no paid teaching jobs in Africa

3.5 No refund will be given to any candidate who, in our opinion, applied for these job placements solely by email and subsequently did not receive a response from our client schools.
