TEFL Courses & Certification in Poland
If you are ready to venture around Europe and become TEFL-certified while you are at it, there is no better homebase than Poland. The land of pierogis and vodka has an extremely high demand for English teachers, and no lack of qualities to lure them in. Not to mention that its central European location offers an ideal starting point for all sorts of European travel, whether before or during your TEFL courses.. Then again, once you experience the cheap cost of living and endless activities (castles, museums, and nightlife galore!), why would you even want to leave?

A Guide to TEFL Courses in Poland
Locations
With a high demand for English teachers, you will be able to find a TEFL program in many Polish cities. However, the most popular places to earn TEFL certification in Poland are Warsaw, Krakow, and Wroclaw, each sharing a difficult and sombering past, but uniquely alluring and thriving today.
Warsaw is the capital and business hub of the country, making it an excellent place to complete TEFL courses in Poland. After being mostly destroyed during World War II, this city has worked hard to rebuild itself and now is stronger than ever. It even boasts the ninth largest population in the European Union. If you plan to stay and teach in Poland, you will have no problem finding a job teaching business English in one of the many companies that call Warsaw home.
Kraków is a stunning, medieval gem in southern Poland. With winding, cobblestone alleyways that open up to the massive main square and 15th century market, it feels as though you have stepped back in time. As a city built on the legend of a conquered dragon and overflowing with history, there is plenty of creative lesson plan inspiration! The old world charm is paired with plenty of unique activities and a lively nightlife making it one of the most popular places to earn a TEFL certificate in Poland.
Wrocław has a smaller feel with more of an authentic, local charm. The city is known for being a cultural and educational hotspot, and was even named the European Capital of Culture in 2016. An emphasis on learning is an integral part of the city, which not only makes it an ideal place for TEFL certification in Poland, but also a highly respected place to teach English in Poland. To take a break outside of the classroom, challenge your students to find all of the gnome statues hidden throughout the city!
Honorable mentions. Poland is a land of rich history and gorgeous landscapes. While the three cities listed above are the most popular locations to take TEFL courses in Poland, there is a high demand for people to teach English in smaller cities too, which make these lesser known locations great options as well. Zakopane is resort town that sits at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, while Gdansk is a port city on the Baltic Sea, which was beautifully reconstructed after WWII. With the sea to the north and the mountains to the south, you cannot go wrong with either option; everything in between isn’t a shabby decision either.
