TEFL Courses & Certification in Italy
With incredible cuisine, history, and cultural sites, the draw of teaching English in Italy is more in the ability to experience living here long-term and less on making a high salary that allows for saving. One benefit to getting TEFL certified in Italy is that many programs provide assistance finding jobs after the program is complete too. At the end of the day, getting TEFL certified is the first step to landing a teaching job in Italy.

A Guide to Earning TEFL Certification in Italy
Locations
Some language schools in Italy will allow individuals with only a bachelor’s degree under their belt to apply for teaching jobs, but most will want their teachers to have full TEFL certification. Obtaining a certification in the city or region where you’d like to find a teaching job in Italy is highly recommended. You’ll be able to build connections in the local community that could eventually result in jobs, so the location where you earn your TEFL certification will influence where you end up teaching.
Traditionally popular cities might offer more job opportunities, but there will also be more competition from other English-speaking foreigners. Top locations in Italy for finding a position teaching English include Rome, Florence, and Milan. The size of these cities along with their statuses as important political, financial, and commercial hubs make them ideal spots to find TEFL employment.
Other ideas would be to try smaller cities, such as Bari, or a location that might not be immediately thought of as a location for TEFL certification in Italy, such as Sardinia. If you are flexible on destination options and open to teaching children, adults, or teens, you will have the most success in finding a teaching job abroad.
Consider investigating areas in Southern Italy - the cost of living and competition for jobs will be lower. If you are experienced and looking for work in July or August after TEFL courses, consider applying for employment as a short-term teacher at a summer holiday destination, such as Sardegna.
