A Guide to TEFL Courses in Africa

Locations

There are some 54 recognized countries on the continent, meaning that you will have plenty of options while deciding where to enroll in your TEFL course in Africa. From north to south and east to west, there are a huge diversity of peoples and cultures you can immerse yourself within, so research the many different nations in regions of Africa in-depth before finally settling on where you will enroll in your TEFL training abroad.

Most countries in North Africa are predominantly Muslim and speak Arabic as a first language, so enrolling in a TEFL program in this region is a great opportunity to experience a distinct side of the continent while learning a highly valuable second language yourself. Egypt, Morocco, and Algeria, for example, are all popular destinations where you might enroll in a TEFL program in North Africa, with the opportunity to continue on teaching afterward.

South of the Saharan Desert, there are thousands more indigenous languages spoken within the African landscape, the most common of which include Swahili, Oromo, Hausa, and Yoruba. Popular countries where you might look to enroll in a TEFL course in sub-Saharan Africa include Angola, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. After the training within any of these countries, you will often have the option between teaching in an urban or rural setting as well!

The training course was very useful and actually even a tiny bit practical considering it was online. It was exactly like in the free lesson and staff replied to my email I sent. No problems. A good experience.
