TEFL International - Surabaya

Get Certified and See The World

Location

Established in 2007, The TEFL International training centre in Indonesia brings our internationally accepted TEFL course to 'The Ring of Fire.' Located at the eastern end of the historic island of Java, the Surabaya TEFL centre is close to some of the most stunning beaches and scenery world-wide.

Our TEFL course center in Indonesia is right next door to paradise. With a wide variety of social and cultural activities, water sports and other activities, vibrant nightlife, delectable Indonesian cuisine, friendly people and close proximity to an abundance of teaching opportunities, Surabaya (and surrounding areas) is sure to have what you are looking for in a TEFL course location.

TEFL teachers come to Indonesia for a wide variety of reasons and amongst the most common is the urge to travel and experience living and working in another culture. There are several points of interest around the East Java region - the most famous of which being Mt. Bromo - a smoldering volcano within a huge volcanic crater.

Surabaya and Malang both have a variety of activities as they are both large commercial centers. Surabaya has many exclusive shopping malls, as well as theatre, nightclubs, cafes, and restaurants, which can be easily found on the major streets.

In Indonesia, eating out seems to be a national pastime. People travel across town to eat at roadside stalls with good reputations. These stalls tend to specialize in one or two dishes so the produce is always delicious and fresh.

Eastern Java has plenty of tourist attractions, from temple sites to scenic beaches, highland lakes, volcanoes, marine gardens and wildlife reserves.

Connected with the rest of Java by excellent roads and train services, there are also flights between Surabaya and other major cities in the country including the exotic Bali, just a short flight away. It is also easily accessible by road and regular ferry from Java to Bali. The island of Madura (accessible by bridge), is famous for its bull races and is part of the province of East Java, though it has its own traditions and language.

Magnificent mountain scenery include the crater and sea of sand at Mount Bromo, the "sulphur mountain" Welirang and the rugged lien Plateau. Little of the former Majapahit Empire's former glory still stands in East Java today, with the exception of some exceptional temple ruins and some recent archaeological discoveries. East Java's main claim to fame in modern history is its vanguard role in the struggle for independence against colonial forces in 1945.
