A Rewarding Career: 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.
This rewarding career will help you develop new
skills and travel around the world while earning
a salary and making professional contacts.
 Why TEFL / TESOL Certification is important:
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.
As an accredited TEFL/TESOL course provider in Costa Rica,
Peru and North Carolina, we offer comprehensive training,
a professional, supportive, and fun environment,
and unparalleled career and job-finding
assistance.
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.

Location:
Costa Rica, with a population of over 4.1
million, is located in Central America and
borders Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the
south. A chain of volcanoes and mountains - part
of the Andean-Sierra Madre chain - runs the
length of the country and separates the
Caribbean Sea on the east coast from the Pacific
Ocean on the west coast. Of all of the places on
earth, Costa Rica is by far one of the most
exotic. The country offers unparalleled natural
beauty, active volcanoes, rainforests, and a
wide range of national parks and eco-tourism. In
addition, Costa Rica has over 1,000 miles of
gorgeous white-and-black sand beaches, copious
amounts of sunshine, world-class sport fishing, snorkeling and surfing!
San
Jose is the capital city of Costa Rica and
is the gateway to both the Pacific and Caribbean
coasts as well as Costa Rica’s rainforests. The
City is located in the Central Valley and has a
population of 1.2 million people. Situated at
1,150 meters (3,773 feet) above sea level the
city lies between three volcanoes. San Jose is
an eclectic mix of modern and colonial
architecture and is interestingly both
fast-paced and laid-back. Being a cosmopolitan
city, San Jose offers visitors great nightlife, theater, shopping, and tourism.
Facilities: Our TEFL school in San Jose
is located in the district of San Pedro, just
5-10 minutes by taxi from the center of San
Jose, and just a 5-minute walk from two of San
Jose’s major universities. We 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 Costa Rica:
Costa Rica’s tourism-based economy as well as
its import/export, electronics, and call center
industries means there is a very strong demand
for English in the capital of San Jose and along
the Pacific Coast.
There are a large number of language schools in
San Jose and other parts of Costa Rica, as well
as excellent, world-class bi-lingual schools
catering to a large expatriate and diplomatic
class..
