HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES?
Who we’re looking for
While we’d love to help everyone who wants to launch a career in Hungary, we’ve got to follow the rules. So, as Hungarian employment laws state, this program is only open to applicants who:
Are graduates from the UK, Ireland, or the US
Have a TEFL certificate. Don’t worry if you don’t have one yet, we’ll help you get it
Have the funds to pay for the program and associated costs
That’s not all – you’ll also need to be adaptable, resilient, resourceful and open-minded
YOUR INVESTMENT
All you need to know about what’s included
If there’s one thing we believe, it’s that you should never have to pay to work. And with us you won’t have to; but, to be able to offer the support, guidance, training, and resources we’re known for, we require all participants to pay a program service fee.
