Join the course and then start Teaching English in Spain. Why wait? Get TFL and TESOL certified then get a teaching job.

MADRID, SPAIN Experience the best of Spain in its lively capital city, Madrid. Most residents of Madrid speak Castilian Spanish, so if you also want to improve your Spanish, it’s the place for you. English is not widely spoken in Madrid, so as you can imagine, there’s plenty of room for another qualified English teacher. Add to this the Madrileños belief that a good night out is not a treat, it is your God given right and you’ve found a place where people are dedicated to living life to the fullest.

At EBC in Madrid we will do everything possible to make sure you have an enjoyable time in this fantastic region. We are a small and friendly team offering you the warmest welcome. Our Madrid teaching and support staff have years of TEFL experience and just as importantly Madrid experience. Our staff are permanent residents of Madrid who have invaluable knowledge and will help you get to know Madrid.

Madrid is the capital of Spain and is located almost dead centre in the Iberian peninsula. It is the highest European capital, roughly 646 metres (2,200 feet) above sea level and has a population of over three million. Madrid is a cosmopolitan city but still retains a very Spanish outlook on life. It is characterised by intense cultural and artistic activity and a very lively nightlife or more than often lively early morning life.

The Spanish even have a nightlife verb: “madrugar” - to stay out partying all night and get home at 7 or 8 next morning.

Madrid is certainly the place to immerse yourself in Spanish culture as there is plenty of intellectual stimulation available at some of the best museums in Europe like the Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen Bornemizsa. If you want to sharpen your Spanish language skills then Madrid is the place as not many Madrileños speak English. Madrid, the Spanish capital, and the business and financial centre of Spain, is the best place to find TEFL jobs in Spain.

Madrid has many sights to offer, many places of interest that you can find in your

travel guide, but also take some time to see the old part of the city. Discover hidden parks, small shops where artisans make and sell their wares, or colourful decorations on walls in the old neighbourhoods of La Latina, Lavapies and Rastro. In these areas you can see Madrid’s original architecture, have a drink and tapas in typical bars, meet ordinary Madrileños, visit covered permanent markets selling mostly fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish etc.

Probably the best attraction of La Latina is to just stroll around, letting the neighbourhood soak in. Just walk through the narrow streets and alleys, go with the flow, as if you were a boat on a river, always being pushed forward by the current. In Lavapies you can have a kebab out on the street, listen to the drummers in the square or simply have a cerveza in bars where the furniture seems to have been collected from people’s living rooms.

Aside from the ethnic and original Madrid ambience that Rastro shares with Lavapies and La Latina, Rastro is home to El Rastro, the biggest and most varied open market in Madrid.

El Rastro is a famous flea market that opens on Saturdays and Sundays between the Plaza de Cascorro, La Latina and the street of Embajadores. Everything imaginable can be found here from valuable antiques to used clothing, including collector cards, books, records, paintings, etc. The side streets also teem with bars and cafes where you can take refuge after a hard day’s shopping.

And finally, a word about Madrid’s nightlife. If you are finished and ready to go home at 4 am, you’ll probably be the first one to bed. According to the Madrid tourist board, a good night out ends at around 7 am after visiting at least 5 different night spots. Madrid has some of the best all-night entertainment in all Spain and you’ll never be stuck for somewhere to go at just about any hour of the day. With all this to offer, Madrid is a great place to have fun. History and character, artists and theatre and a great nightlife. Madrid is the hub of Spain and the country’s business centre so there’s never a shortage of teaching jobs.

If you’re in the mood to thoroughly immerse yourself in Spain, do it in Madrid!

If you DO NOT have a passport from a European Union country, the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand then please make sure that you do the following: Check with your country’s Spanish embassy or consulate to find out what your specific entry requirements are to cover the 28 day TESOL TEFL course period.

Before you send a deposit you must check with your nearest Spanish embassy or consulate as to exactly what you need to do in order to apply for a tourist visa to enter Spain.

It is still possible to work in Spain without a work permit for 6 to 9 months. This statement is based on our experience placing teachers in Spanish language schools since 2002. However, some people feel more comfortable with a long-term visa so we offer a one year student visa programme.

IMPORTANT 1: Two standard documents that are requested by the consulate are a statement that you are in good health and a police report stating that you are not a convicted criminal. The health report is quite easy to get but the police report takes time. In some cases, between 4 to 6 weeks. You cannot attend the appointment you arranged in step 2 until you have all your documents. Make sure the appointment date you arrange is realistic. To speed up the personal document gathering process, EBC recommends that you start ordering these documents as quickly as possible.

IMPORTANT 2: After you have attended the appointment at the consulate, Step 7, you will have to wait until the student visa is finally approved. The consulate has to send all your details to Spain for final immigration approval. This process can take anywhere from one to three weeks.

Is the visa process guaranteed? Yes, we will refund your student visa fee if the consulate denies your student visa application because the Spanish school and study programme are not acceptable.

We have a 100% success rate in getting a student visa for Americans, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders so it is highly unlikely that you will be rejected.

It is important that you understand that you will get a student visa and not a work visa. However, “Article 90 - Work for students or researchers”, means that you can apply for permission to work up to 20 hours a week to cover living expenses.

When you attend the appointment at the consulate, make it clear that you are coming to Spain to study abroad. Regardless of your intentions, do not mention anything relating to work or they will deny your student visa application and EBC will not refund your fee.

UNDERGROUND RAIL— ”EL METRO” - 15 MINUTES TO DOWNTOWN The Barajas Airport Metro station is in Terminal 2. Trains leave about every 5 minutes from 6.00 am to 2.00 am Line 8 goes straight to the Nuevos Ministerios Metro station (the nearest metro to EBC) in the centre of Madrid.

SHUTTLE BUS—45 TO 60 MINUTES TO DOWNTOWN An airport bus runs between all the Barajas terminals and Plaza Colón in downtown Madrid. There are several stops on the way to Plaza Colón. At Plaza Colón the underground bus terminal connects with the Colón Metro station. Buses run daily in both directions about every 10-20 minutes from 4.45 am to 1.30 am.

TAXI —30 TO 45 MINUTES TO DOWNTOWN There are plenty of taxis outside the arrival area in the official taxi ranks. There is a huge sign on the wall near each taxi rank that indicates how the taxis operate and how much they cost. Official taxis are white with a red stripe on both sides. DO NOT go with people who walk up to you and offer you a taxi, they are not licensed and are not insured to take passengers.

LIMO —30 TO 45 MINUTES TO DOWNTOWN This is an option but it is not worth considering because it is expensive. Bearing in mind the low-cost and efficiency of public transport, a limo is not really a necessity.

  

The EBC job assistance programme is lifetime and world-wide

The short answer is YES. In Madrid it is easy if you have a recognised certificate like EBC’s.



Madrid has the greatest demand for native English teachers in the whole of Spain.

Many language schools in Madrid don't care if a prospective teacher has a work

permit.

EBC is always being asked for teachers by language schools as early as the first



week of a new course.

EBC graduates are usually working shortly after finishing the course at full mar-



ket rates (15 to 20 Euros per hour).

Due to the political and social unrest in Cataluña, many companies are leaving Barcelona and moving to Madrid. This is good for Madrid because the English learning population will grow even more.

The TEFL job market in Madrid is always good and hiring is year-round.

Don't delay looking for a job until you start running out of money. The best time to get a job is when you finish the course. We send your CV/resume directly to the hiring managers of 350+ schools in Madrid. Most schools in Madrid do not care whether you have a work permit or not.

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SALARY FOR AN ENGLISH TEACHER? The average salary for a starting teacher in Madrid is between 15 and 20 Euros per hour. This varies depending on what type of school or company you work for and whether you work full-time or part-time. We do not recommend that you accept less than the minimum unless the school is also throwing in some other incentives like free Spanish lessons or other benefits of value.

HOW MANY EBC GRADUATES REALLY FIND WORK IN SPAIN? The EBC course training centre in Madrid also runs a language school. Subject to availability, you may get offered an English teaching job by the language school at the end of the course.

We have been running the course since 2002 and all of our course graduates who have wanted to work in Spain have been able to secure teaching positions.

So far, all EBC Madrid course graduates have got jobs after finishing the course. If you do not get a job, you will be the first.

Local transportation Central Madrid is a great place to see on foot, but like all capital cities it is large, so if you want to go further afield, use public transport.

Public transport in Madrid is safe and efficient, the “Metro” (Subway/Underground) is the easiest to use. It has a big network to central and outlying Madrid. There is also an extensive city run bus service and commuter rail service. There are also plenty of taxis which. You can easily get to our TEFL course training centre by public transport. Once you are settled in we recommend that you buy a 1 month “Metrobus” pass for central Madrid (Zone “A”). This costs a little over €50 and gives you unlimited use of the Metro, public bus system and the RENFE commuter rail service during the month.

Madrid has probably the best shopping in all of Spain. There are many areas containing malls and shopping areas full of different types of stores. Unless you are in a street market, where you may be able to haggle prices, the cost of items in stores is as marked.

COMMON-SENSE WARNING: Shopping areas in tourist areas attract pick-pockets, so watch your purse or wallet.

Mountain life About an hour to the north of Madrid by train is the Guadarrama mountain range. The highest peak is Peñalara that rises up to 2,430 metres (about 7,500 feet). You can go hiking or climbing, visit the national parks, go horse-back riding or simply take in the breath-taking views over the state of Madrid.

Skiing The Guadarrama mountains are Madrid’s ski vacation home. There are two main ski stations, Puerto de Navacerrada and Valdesqui in operation from December through to March. Snow is generally good and ski stations have snow machines as well. If you are a real die-hard you can ski all year long in Europe’s largest in-door slope located in the Xanadu mall in Arroyomolinos, a suburb about 10 kms. south of Madrid.

Beaches and swimming Madrid has lots of outdoor public pools that are open all summer and have very good facilities. Entry for a full day is about €4. There is a man-made beach in central Madrid on the banks of the Manzanares river. The nearest beaches by the sea are in Valencia, but with the near health spa quality of the outdoor pools in Madrid – well it’s up to you!

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are both premiere league clubs in Spain. Real Madrid is probably more famous and has its football stadium “the Bernabeu” located 5 minutes walk away from the EBC training centre. Atletico are situated at the other end of town next to the Manzanares river, about 30 minutes away from EBC. As a potential host of the Olympics Madrid has plenty of top-class sports installations.

What are the average housing and living expenses when working in Spain?

Most likely you will rent a room in an apartment or house with other teachers or with Spaniards. Prices depend on where you choose to live. A room in a shared house or apartment in a good neighbourhood is about 300 to 450 Euros a month.

TEFL teachers are quite well-paid by local standards, which means they can afford a comfortable standard of living. A TEFL teacher can expect to earn between 1,200 and 1,700 Euros per month working 20 to 30 hours per week. While this may not sound a lot by international standards, it means you can live quite comfortably in Madrid.

How much money should I bring?

If you do not arrange your accommodation through EBC, you should budget to spend between €700 (Spartan life) to €1,000 (comfy life) for the period covering the 28 day course. If you want to stay and work in Madrid or the rest of Spain you should budget around €1,000 to cover yourself until your first pay-check.

What if I get sick in Madrid?

If you need urgent medical attention, you can use the Spanish National Health service.

There are a number of insurance companies that offer their own health insurance services at a cost of about 50 Euros/month with almost 100% coverage of all medical costs.

We recommend that you get health insurance before you travel.
