+
No, there is currently no criminal record check required for the TEFL Mexico internship program.
Can I bring my pet?

Yes, you may bring a well-behaved pet! However, most hotels and apartments do not accept pets, so you would likely need to rent a house rather than an apartment.
What is the training schedule?

No, Spanish is not necessary. However, we include 1 week of professional Spanish classes in your program to help you learn the basics and connect with locals.
Can I be placed with a friend/partner?
+
Yes! Friends and couples are welcome. Flexibility on location is key, but we can usually place you in the same school or at least the same area.
What types of schools will I teach in?
+
Most placements are at private language training centers (adults and young learners). Some positions may be in public schools or corporate training programs.
How long is the contract?
