Practical Placement on the Gold Coast

You will LOVE practical placement - it is the most rewarding part of the course. ​Placement is when everything you learn in the course comes together and you will be able to put your skills as an English teacher into practice. 

If you study at one of the in person training providers, then you will be connected with a pre-selected placement organisation.

If studying online via distance education, then we will work with you to find a suitable Practical Placement host organisation or teaching situation. This may be an in person placement with our network of organisations that have previously hosted our students, or we also have the option of online placements with real learners via live Zoom classes. These are genuine English teaching opportunities allowing you to teach in real-time to students around the globe. 

In some cases you may choose to take the initiative of seeking out and finding an option in your local community.  If you know of institutions near you that you'd like to approach rather than using one of our recommended organisations, you will need to check that options you find meet the Course requirements.​​
