Free TEFL Internships with TEFL Nomad
At TEFL Nomad, our TEFL internships are open to anyone enrolled on our fully accredited Level 3 TEFL course, which is internationally recognised and designed to prepare you for a successful teach abroad experience. Candidates must also meet the specific requirements listed for each internship opportunity.
The free TEFL internships abroad are one of the fastest ways to start your TEFL career while receiving a higher level of support than many standard TEFL jobs. Most internships include 24/7 local support, an orientation with other international teachers, cultural excursions, accommodation, monthly salary, and help setting up essentials like a bank account and SIM card. Teaching hours are also typically lower than standard teaching contracts, allowing you to adjust to life teaching English abroad.
TEFL Nomad internships are designed to bridge the gap between completing your TEFL course and securing a full-time TEFL job abroad, giving you the experience, confidence, and support needed to succeed in international teaching.
Do you qualify?
Most TEFL internships require you to have a bachelors degree from a recognised University as well as some age, and nationality requirements.
To apply for a TEFL Nomad teach abroad internship, you must meet the following requirements:
✅ Be currently enrolled in university or have graduated before your arrival date
✅ Be a native English speaker from the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa
