In this article, we talk about why the first few months of the new year is a great time to do so.
New Year’s Resolution
At the start of every year, people all around the world find themselves with a list of their own personal new year’s resolutions. After all, new years give people a semblance of a fresh and clean slate.
This is why many gyms see a drastic increase in new memberships within the first few months of every year. People are caught up in the spirit of reinventing themselves and making major life changes. Of course, it’s one thing to start something, and it’s an entirely different thing to keep doing it until it becomes part of your lifestyle.
While the new year is fresh, it’s a great idea to take action on things you have been keeping on the shelf. Maybe you want to learn a new language. Learning a new language opens many doors for people. Not only does it help them in the workplace, but it also gives them access to a new culture.
New Year’s Resolution: Learn a new language
Learning a new language means you will get to converse with even more people, especially people from a different culture as yours. And today, most people know that building multicultural relationships is a great way to become well-rounded. Plus, being able to speak another language opens up your travel opportunities. Spanish, for example, is the official language in multiple countries.
New Year’s Resolution: Make a career change
Maybe another thing you’ve been wanting to do is make a career change. If you find yourself not feeling fulfilled in your current job, and you’re looking for a change of scenery, you can always switch things up. Have you ever thought of getting certified to teach English? Getting Trinity CertTESOL certification, for example, will mean that your credentials as an English teacher will be accepted and recognised by the British Council. And in case you didn’t know, the British Council works in over 100 countries around the world.
Now, what if we told you that you could do both? What if we told you that you could get certified to teach English, learn Spanish in Spain for one year, and teach English there at the same time?
And lastly, what if we told you that one of the best times to enrol in this programme is at the start of the new year?
In the section that follows, we introduce you to the EBC Road2Spain programme.
New Year’s Resolution: The EBC Road2Spain Programme
Enrolling in the EBC Road2Spain programme is the perfect way to start the new year. As early as now, you can start planning ahead for next year. This programme has two main parts. First, is the Spanish language learning part. And second, is the English teaching part. The EBC Road2Spain will allow you to study Spanish in Spain with a Spanish student visa for one year. And it will also allow you to work as an English teacher with Trinity CertTESOL certification.
In the first part of the programme, you will take the 4-week, online EBC Trinity CertTESOL course. The 200-hour OFQUAL Level 5 Trinity CertTESOL accredited online TESOL certification course comes with international acceptance and up to 60 university credits.
Furthermore, all EBC graduates get free lifetime access to our worldwide job placement programme. You can use this great resource to get an English teaching job anywhere in the world, really. Plus, the process is simple and straightforward.
First, you finish the course, then you send us your CV. Second, you tell us where in the world you want to work, as well as which age groups you prefer working with. Then, from there, we send your CV to all our partners in your chosen area. Yes, it really is that simple!
New Year’s Resolution: Learn Spanish in Spain
Now, let’s talk about the Spanish language learning part. The EBC Road2Spain programme gets you a one-year Spanish language course with a Cervantes Institute-accredited school. You can choose among these locations:
- Madrid
- San Sebastián
- Barcelona
- Valencia
- Malaga
After you finish your Trinity CertTESOL course, you tell us when you want to start your Spanish language classes, and we coordinate with the Spanish school. From here, the Spanish school sends you your official letter of invitation, which you will need to apply for your Spanish student visa. Just keep in mind to factor in enough time to process your papers. Speaking of, did you know you can apply for your Spanish student visa directly from Spain? You can read more about that process here.
The timeline of the EBC Road2Spain programme is practical. You get certified, then you move to Spain ready to learn Spanish and put to use your new English teaching certification. This means that you get to work and earn as an English teacher on the side. Thanks to new changes in the Spanish immigration law, you can now work up to 30 hours a week directly with your student visa. No extra paperwork, and no extra processing.

New Year’s Resolution: Take advantage of the fresh start
Now that you know what the EBC Road2Spain programme can do for you, let’s talk about why the beginning of the new year is a great time to enrol.
First, there’s a collective reset. Everything feels fresh, including your mindset. When it comes to making big decisions like moving to another country or changing careers, you want to be in a clear headspace.
Also, because people slowly come out of the holiday mode, things aren’t as hectic yet. You can take advantage of this calm and start preparing what you need. It can also help to plan ahead and set aside the necessary time to take the EBC Trinity CertTESOL course, because though it runs only for four weeks, it is intensive.
Another reason why the beginning of the new year is a great time to enrol in the EBC Road2Spain programme is because of the job opportunities you can get. Though our job placement programme can get you an English teaching job year-round, there are a lot of new openings during this particular season.
Many language schools open new classes as new English learners enrol, so they look for more English teachers to join their team. This spike in English teacher openings at the beginning of a new year makes it a great time for you to enrol in the Road2Spain programme.
Plan ahead and enrol today
Though there are a couple of months left until New Year, you can enrol as early as now. If you want to plan ahead and secure your spot, get in touch with us today, and we’ll get you started. Ready to make your new year’s resolutions a reality? The EBC Road2Spain programme is your answer.
