EBC is a Trinity College London Validated Course provider so EBC is part of the network of one of one of the world's largest educational organisations.

2. Meet and Talk

Finalise your schedule with your dedicated EBC student advisor who will assist and guide you from this moment through to getting your job teaching English abroad. You will get plain, realistic and practical advice about: teaching English abroad, costs, pay, travel, visas, documents, health insurance, housing and more.

3. Apply

Fill out a simple form to apply for your chosen course. We will process your application within 2 working days. You will be sent a confirmation. If you have applied for our CertTESOL course, you will be sent instructions about the Trinity College pre-acceptance process.

4. Pre-acceptance interview

The pre-acceptance interview makes sure that you are happy with your chosen course and that EBC can justify your enrolment on a Trinity College London course as a quality student.

5. Enrol and guarantee your course place

To enrol and guarantee your course place you must either send a deposit or the full course payment. You may do this through our secure online payment system or by bank transfer. Once your payment is received, your place is guaranteed.

6. Travel

If you are coming to Madrid, book your travel tickets and get ready to go. If you need accommodation, we can provide it. We can give non-legal advice about visas and other bureaucracy. If you want a student visa for Spain, we can help to arrange for it. Visas are given by governments not by EBC.

7. Train

Take your four-week classroom-based course or your online course. When you pass the course, you will be a Trinity College London CertTESOL or CertPT certified TEFL teacher.

8. Teach

On the day you pass, you may ask EBC to send your CV to English language schools using our lifetime, proactive, worldwide job placement service. You should be interviewing and teaching within a few days of finishing your classroom-based course.
