Why Choose CELTA in Melbourne?

Melbourne is a great destination to work and earn as a qualified teacher after your CELTA course. Generally, Australia has some of the highest salaries in the world, and TEFL teachers are well-paid. The cost of living in the country is typically high, but the compensation makes up for it, and lots of teachers there can save money and travel frequently.

There are openings for English teachers both in Melbourne and other cities like Brisbane, Perth and Sydney. Teaching jobs are available all year round, and private schools and universities are the best places to find a job. They are also centers of international business that attract students from around the world. However, it is essential to note that smaller cities in Australia offer a slightly slower pace of life but with the same great salaries.

With a CELTA in Melbourne, you can earn as much as 40 AUD - 90 AUD per hour or between 50,000 AUD to 90,000 AUD per year. Outgoing Brisbane or laid-back Perth are both excellent choices for people who love the beach and great weather.

Also, Asia is right on the doorstep, so lots of teachers choose to teach English there too.

Things to do in Melbourne, Australia while taking a CELTA

Sport is a huge part of life in Melbourne, and there's no better way to relax during your TEFL course than by taking part in a game. Whether you're rolling in the mud during Aussie Rules Football or dressed up in white for cricket, you're sure to meet some mates. Besides sports though, there is still a lot to see and do in the highly multicultural city of Melbourne while you take your CELTA.

One of the best experiences is to see the city's scenic skyline from the 88th floor of the Eureka tower, one of the tallest towers in the city. Federation Square is another famous tourist spot with its Victorian architecture and striking structure. The square which is home to the Ian Potter Center and Australian Center for Moving Image (ACMI), hosts over 2000 events yearly and is always a fun spot to visit.

When you're tired after an intensive TEFL session, head to one of Melbourne's beaches - try St. Kilda for lots of fun, or Elwood Beach for great swimming. Stroll through Hoiser lane and get great views of the beautiful street arts that line the area. You can also check out the Yarra River, a great place to calm your nerves, as you take a stroll by the banks of the river.

Other places to visit include Queen Victoria Market, the Shrine of Remembrance and the Parliament House.

Melbourne is called Australia's "coffee capital", and certainly trying a flat white is a must when you're doing your CELTA course. The city's famous laneways are full of tiny cafes and restaurants serving delicious food - Melbourne is very multicultural, and you can find award-winning sushi next to traditional Italians and pretty much everything else!

The city is also famous for being a bit of a hipster mecca. This means that the arts scene is fantastic, there is lots of live music in the pubs and bars, and the museums are world-class.

Take your CELTA in Melbourne, often referred to as the most European city in Australia. Enjoy the beautiful beaches in "Australia’s Garden Capital" while you obtain a globally recognized TEFL certificate.
