Help with Employment

DC Teacher Training works hard to help our graduates with career success.

At the end of your course, we’ll have a careers session, during which we’ll give you guidance on how to find work in the world of English language teaching, both in the UK and abroad.

During and after your course, we’ll put you in touch with the recruitment team at our partner school English Path, who will fill you in on job opportunities at their schools in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, London, Malta, Dubai, Toronto, Riyadh, Dublin and Berlin. At peak recruitment periods, some CELTA candidates may even be interviewed and receive job offers before their course has ended!

Your course tutors will act as referees for your first teaching job applications.

You can book a one-to-one Zoom consultation about your career prospects with one of our team members about your career prospects before you decide whether to apply for a course.

Accommodation

We can help candidates seeking accommodation in Birmingham and can book homestay accommodation with local families.
