    I have just completed the 40 hour i to i combined grammar course. I am now wondering how to start looking for possible positions anywhere abroad. I know that the 40 hour is the basic entry one but i couldn't afford a longer course, to put it simply.
    So , where is the best place to look for work abroad now that I have completed a 40 hour combined TEFL itoi course.
    Thank You

    (I especially went over any possible spelling mistakes in this post for obvious reasons :p)

    I don't mean to be a buzz kill for you, because I'm sure you want some happy, positive news, but the 40 hours course is not worth your time, money or effort.

    I'm not sure of i to i, or any other company offering them, advertise the course with the aim of finding employment, because very few people will take it seriously. You should have saved your money up for a while and done a celta or something similar.

    Anyway, as to where to go. What other qualifications do you have? do you have a degree, masters etc? Have you taught before? Do you want to teach kids or adults? do you want to teach in camps or in school?

    A lot of part time tefl positions become available for summer camps, with summer ending, so are your chances for a quick fix to make a bit of money to improve your qualifications.

    That said, I'm sure some places will still hire you, but it won't be for your 40 hour tefl cert, it will be because you can speak English, and that's all.
