ÀÖÓãÌåÓýapp

Not at all. There areÌýno feesÌýto participate in ÀÖÓãÌåÓýapp. You will have to transfer aÌýrefundable deposit of €300Ìýafter accepting your placement as proof of yourÌýcommitment to the program. This deposit will be refunded to you at the end of the program, once you successfully complete your school placement.

No. Our program’sÌýallocation process is profile-based. That means that our Human Resources Team will match your profile with a specific school placement (with its own requirements) so that you can benefit from this internship experience. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that you will be placed in a specific location.

Since we run a profile-based allocation process, we only considerÌýindividual applications. If one of your friends or your partner has also applied, please bear in mind that it is unlikely that we will place both of you in the same town or even region.

You will have access to an onlineÌý120-hour TEFL course, offered by the program,Ìýand will participate in a one-day session in Madrid or Barcelona (TBC) upon your arrival. After that, you will move on to your placement destination to collaborate with the school. You will receive a monthly stipend and your University will recognize this international teaching experience as part of your Bachelor’s degree.

Our program runsÌýfrom September/October/January to May/June. If you successfully complete the program, you mayÌýapply to join a Language Assistant placement for recent graduates. You can choose to stay at the same school or move to a different one.

If you’re looking for a shorter teaching experience, please check our One-Term Volunteer Placement instead.

The Language Assistant’s schedule will be set andÌýmodified by the school according to its needs, which means that placement’s characteristics depend entirely on the school, and participants are not able to change its schedule or conditions. The school schedule in Spain usually runs from 9 am to 5 pm.

You will haveÌýbetween 20 and 24 in-class hours per week, needing up to 2 additional hours per week to coordinate your activities with other teachers. As your timetable depends on the other teachers’, you will for sure have some gaps between classes, meaning that, for example, you could have class from 9 am to 4 or 5 pm with gaps in between, including a one or two-hour lunch break. You can take advantage of these gaps to prepare activities and dedicate time to your online TEFL course.

If you live with a host family and your placement has less than 23 in-class hours per week, you will teach them in 4 days (mornings and afternoons), or in 5 mornings every week.

You will receive a monthly stipend that will vary in quantity depending on the number of weekly in-class hours and your lodging option, which are previously defined by the school. Check the amount ranges in the corresponding program brochure.

The monthly stipend will allow you to live in Spain as a young professional, and isÌýenough to pay your rent (in case of independent housing) and cover expenses. Keep in mind that larger cities like Madrid, Barcelona, or Bilbao are more expensive than medium or small cities. We advise you to come to Spain with someÌýsavings to help you get settled.

You will be entitled to theÌýsame holidaysÌýas the rest of the school’s faculty. You will have a Christmas and

Easter break, local or regional holidays, and some long weekends (puentes). You will have a set school calendar and you are not entitled to any days off outside the pre-established holidays. Trips and travel arrangements should be made around your class schedule and school calendar.

If there are unforeseen circumstances or special events, such as your graduation, that require you to take a day off, you will have to submit aÌýrequest in advanceÌýto the school principal. Unauthorized absences can result in the loss of your stipend or even your placement.

You will need to purchase a private health insurance plan if you are a non-EU passport holder to satisfy visa requirements. Successful candidates may look for their own options or contact ÀÖÓãÌåÓýapp, since we have partnered with a private health insurance provider to offer affordable coverage that complies with visa requirements.

You are expected to showÌýinitiative and commitmentÌýand perform professionally. ÀÖÓãÌåÓýapp and/or the school have the right to cancel a Language Assistant’s placement if any of them consider that the participant exhibits a lack of professional behavior.

If this occurs, the Language Assistant loses the deposit and all inherent rights (placement, course, stipend, etc.). In addition, the program is legally obliged to cancel the visa (if applicable).

If you decide to leave the program, you will lose the €300 deposit and all inherent rights (placement, course, stipend, etc.) In addition, the program will be legally obliged to cancel your visa (if applicable).
