TEFL Courses & Certification in Egypt

Most TEFL certificate programs in Egypt, along with most English teaching jobs, are offered in Alexandria, one of Egypt’s biggest metropolitan areas. Egypt’s capital city of Cairo also has opportunities to earn a TEFL certificate as well. Other cities, like Aswan, El Gouna, and Port Said also offer TEFL programs, but completing a course in these areas may limit your access within the country as solo travel can prove difficult due to frequent checkpoint systems.

Alexandria boasts the warmest location along the Mediterranean, and some organizations offer TEFL courses that also include Arabic language lessons, a skill that can be useful in many countries. Earning a TEFL certificate in Alexandria enables you to be close to two of the Seven Wonders of the World: the Lighthouse of Alexandria and a few hours away, the Pyramids in Giza.

As Egypt’s largest city, and Africa’s second largest, Cairo is where you will find most teaching jobs in Egypt, after you have completed your TEFL certification. Serving as the financial and economic hub, there are hundreds of language schools and institutes in and around the capital city to teach english abroad.
