Why TEFL / TESOL Certification is important: Qualified English teachers specialized in ESL are in heavy demand in all non-English speaking countries around the world, including Peru, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, and others in Latin America. Increasingly, simply knowing English is not sufficient if you plan to teach English in South America, Asia, Europe, or anywhere else in the world. Schools and institutes are demanding qualifications, experience, and practical training in the methodology of teaching English. An accredited TEFL/TESOL certificate is now a prerequisite to teach at the best English schools.

Accreditation: Accreditation by an external educational body is vital if you wish to study at an institute and receive a certification that is recognized worldwide. In addition to accreditation by the Peruvian Ministry of Education, Máximo Nivel is also accredited by the College of Teachers in the UK – a professional organization officially recognized by the British Council as an accrediting body. As well, through our US partner, our TEFL/TESOL certification program is accredited by ACCET – the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training. ACCET is officially recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an official accrediting body in the US.

University Credits! Due to our accreditations, our TEFL/TESOL Certification course and Spanish courses are eligible for credit at most U.S. and European universities. Many universities also award credit for our volunteer and internship projects.

Location: Peru, a country of 24 million inhabitants, is located in the west central part of South America, and is the 19th largest country in the world. It shares borders to the north with Ecuador, to the south with Chile and Bolivia, and to the east with Columbia and Brazil. Peru's geography, climates, and cultures are diverse due to the natural variation of its regions, which include the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon jungle. Peru is one of the world's greatest centers of ancient civilization - the Incas.

Cusco is situated in the Andes Mountains in southeastern Peru, and sits at an altitude of 3,400 meters above sea level (11,000 ft.). Cusco is today a cosmopolitan city of 400,000 people, and is the historic capital of the Inca Empire and is the gateway to the sanctuary city of Machupicchu. Indeed, Cusco is one of the most spectacular highlights of South America. Stately and historic, with stone streets and buildings that are built on Incan foundations laid down more than five centuries ago, Cusco is a Mecca for South American adventurers and tourists. Cusco is one of those rare places able to preserve its unique character despite its prominence in international tourism.

Facilities: Our TEFL school is located in the heart of Cusco, in a modern office building, just 3 blocks from the historic Plaza de Armas, and just across the street from Q’oricancha (the Inca Temple of the Sun). Our Arequipa office is located just 3 blocks from the Saga Fellabella mall and just 4 blocks from Arequipa’s Plaza de Armas. Both locations provide modern computers, high-speed Internet connections including office-wide WIFI access, a small library, and a snack bar where every morning the coffee and tea are piping hot and FREE.

Teaching in Peru:
Cusco, and Peru in general, has a growing economy, and there is a very strong demand for the English language. In Cusco, which is the international center of tourism for all of South America, the ability to speak English is a necessity – more than 70% of the city’s population is employed in the tourism sector. In fact, the number of Peruvians who want to learn English is growing at an exponential rate.

There are more than 10 official language schools in Cusco itself, and then countless public and private schools, as well as NGOs that offer English classes. There are also excellent teaching opportunities in other cities such as Arequipa and Trujillo. There are also very interesting teaching opportunities in remote mountain communities around Cusco. The capital of Lima has hundreds of English institutes and employment is easy to find.

ESL Job Opportunities: Máximo Nivel does not guarantee you a job after completion of the TEFL/TESOL course. However, you DO receive lifetime career assistance and we do our absolute best to help you in your job search. Experience shows that participants who put the effort into preparing a strong resume/CV and who are not afraid of really looking for work, usually find teaching positions within 0 to 30 days following the TEFL/TESOL course. As well, Máximo Nivel makes 3-5 job offers to our TEFL/TESOL graduates every month!

Accommodation: Homestay Program (host family), Hostel, Private Apartment, Shared Apartment; Hotel. Global Crossroad offers airport pick-up and transfer services to the accommodation.
