Swap routine for tapas after dark, Mediterranean beaches, flamenco nights and weekends exploring Europe. This Teach English in Barcelona experience gives eligible travellers the chance to build a real life in Spain while earning an internationally recognised CertTESOL qualification and preparing for paid teaching opportunities. Book with code GA100 to save up to $100 on your trip. Spend four weeks completing a 160-hour CertTESOL course with practical classroom training, then use local job assistance and interview preparation to pursue English teaching roles in Barcelona. Five weeks of accommodation, airport transfer, visa guidance, Spanish lessons and cultural experiences are included, helping you settle in faster and feel confident from day one. Most teaching roles are at private language schools, often with afternoon or evening classes, leaving your mornings free for coffee, beaches, markets and exploring Barcelona. No degree is required, but Working Holiday visa eligibility applies. Ready to teach, live and travel in Spain?

Excellent impressive service from Hanna ('Hanna 2') and Global. You are well organised to move mountains in one phone call.! I didn't imagine the enquiry call would progress to a confirmed placement! A 16 year old seed has finally been reaped and now looking forward to the sewing season next year. Thankful for such a service as this. Thank you so much. Espana! Velvo a ti!
I already had my heart set to get out of this boring desert (Arizona) and I just needed to figure out how and thanks to Shaun who followed up with me and provided me the support and encouragement I needed to make my first move and just go!!! So now I'm booked for September... España here I come!!
All the staff have been amazing and very helpful for me, they have helped me work through all the different options and helped me with all the application processes! Can't wait for my trip! Dave and Nicole have been especially helpful!
I loved the process. Everyone was so nice. Tai is amazing!!! This was such a pleasure to do. I am so happy that I chose to go with this company to Teach English abroad. I am so excited that I am moving forward with this adventure.
The initial week where we got to immerse in flamenco dance class, paella cooking class and Spanish Intro classes made the transition smooth, I feel like I've already made strong connections and I'm ready to begin my course!
