TEFL Courses & Certification in Chile

As the capital city of Chile and home to a population of roughly 7 million, Santiago is one of the best bets in finding a quality TEFL program in Chile. The majority of TEFL programs are in Santiago because many ESL job placements are also located there, making it easy for new TEFL teachers to find jobs after they complete certification.

Another location that may very-well become your new Chilean home is Valparaíso. Think San Francisco without the sky high prices! Valparíso is known for its Bohemian lifestyle, vividly colored buildings, steep hilly terrain, and accessibility to the entire city by bus. Pablo Neruda fans will adore touring his home with endless views of the harbor and the Andes mountains. Future ESL teachers will also have plenty of opportunities to get teaching experience at the Chilean Naval Academy base and in many thriving international businesses.

Viña del Mar, Concepción, or La Serena would also be excellent locations to pursue your TEFL certification in Chile. While all of these locations are fairly central in the expanse of the country, if you feel so inclined, you can still extend your reach a bit more via boat, bus, or car, and see more of the country.
