I thought I would share this link from www.dubailime.com a classified site in Dubai. It offers its members special offers each month – This month one of its offers is a free TEFL course.

I have actually completed my TEFL and it cost me an arm and a leg so even one course for free offers pretty significant value. When I was teaching in Vietnam I would get $800 USD a month for teaching English which i can do by just having a basic arts degree. When I got a TEFL behind me I started working at specialist English schools and adult education centers in Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand and during that time I dont think I earn less than $2,000 bucks a month working a straight 40 hour week so its worth a go if you are traveling around and want to teach English on your gap year. You dont have to be a member of the site to click the link so I think they have made a mistake – If you follow the link on the page it takes you to the TEFL site – at the bottom at the left hand side carefully hidden under all the bumf i the link to the free course.
Hope this helps!
