Our job placement service acts as a referral, guidance and assistance for anyone looking for a job in TEFL abroad. Global Language Training does not provide a job contract nor assumes any responsibility for overseas contractors.

All jobs referred must be checked by the graduate or applicant and all terms and conditions of those jobs offered must be independently verified before the person accepts the job abroad.
