Program Overview

Run away to the beach and turn it into a real life change. This Costa Rica teaching experience is designed for travellers from the US, Canada and the UK who want to work abroad, change careers, take a meaningful break or build a new chapter overseas. Start in Playa Sámara with a 4 week internationally recognised TEFL or TESOL course that includes practical classroom training, Spanish lessons and time to enjoy the coast. Book with code GA100 to save up to $100 on your trip. After successfully completing the course, you can access paid English teaching opportunities across Costa Rica, and 95% of Global Travellers are placed within two weeks of finishing their TEFL. Your first four weeks include a private hotel room with breakfast, airport transfer, cultural activities and ongoing local support. If you want to teach English in Costa Rica, work and travel abroad, or test out a completely different lifestyle, this gives you a practical way to qualify, get supported and start living locally.
