TEFL have provided us with the following information on the services that they provide. They are also offering BU students a 30% discount ~ just quote BRNMTH30 when you book the course……
This is an often asked question which university students try and avoid. Jobs in the UK are increasingly rare and difficult to secure but the demand for TEFL teachers abroad is huge! All you need is an accredited TEFL course and you can set off nearly anywhere in the world and get paid to teach English as a foreign language. TEFL is a great way to travel, gain international work experience and have the time of your life while getting paid. You don’t need to speak a foreign language, or have a background in teaching – all you need is an official TEFL Org UK certificate. Find out why we think university is a perfect time to take an accredited TEFL course.
Why wait until you graduate to book on to a TEFL course. If complete your accredited TEFL course while you are at university you will be all set to go straight after you graduate. You can apply for TEFL jobs through our TEFL Jobs Centre. You can be teaching English abroad in a matter of a few weeks after you receive your official TEFL Org UK certificate.
There’s probably not better time for you to take an accredited TEFL course than while you are already in the mode of studying for university. It takes people on average 8-12 weeks to complete their online TEFLcourse, but you can complete it in a lot less time if you put the work in. Find out more: TEFL Course Options
Universities are great place to pick up a bit of teaching English practice with your official TEFL Org UK certificate. While you don’t need any previous teaching experience to land a job overseas, it certainly will help when it comes to apply for TEFL jobs. Qualified TEFL graduates often find work helping firs-year international students with their language skills. This is a great opportunity for you to put the skills you learnt on your TEFL course into practice.

Introduction
Back in 2012, Dorset based Recruitment Agency ‘Rock Recruitment’ launched an exciting awards event called ‘Rock Awards’, celebrating talented young people and the companies that develop them into Dorset’s Stars of the Future.
Young people often get a bad press. Many under 26 year olds come through the doors at Rock with impressive academic results, achievements from work or other commitments and bags of determination and ambition. Not to mention that they see some candidates that show amazing courage and abilities despite the hand they’ve been dealt!
So, they decided it was time to bring these amazing young stars to the attention of Dorset’s employers. Dorset has some of the most exciting, inspirational businesses in the country and they feel young candidates and these employers need a common ground to meet and understand each other better.
The 2017 Rock Awards event is going to be bigger and better than before, taking place on Thursday 19th October 2017 at the O2 Academy in Bournemouth. With three new exciting award categories to enter this year, they are expanding the awards to cover Bournemouth’s expanding digital and creative industries.

The Rock Awards are for people who are aged between 16-26 who are innovative, hardworking and ambitious. A person that has started their own business. An all-round brilliant employee.

Why get involved?
For the pride, the glory, the recognition. Not to mention it’s something excellent to put on your CV and is a practical and different experience to add to an application or to discuss in an interview.. The big trophy. Networking opportunities be it for an internship, a post graduate role or a full time job. Advice and guidance from industry experts. The chance to dress up, enjoy the entertainment, eat the delicious food and meet with 400 others from companies across Dorset and Hampshire.
