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, its the
place for you. English is not widely spoken in Madrid, so as you can imagine, theres
plenty of room for another qualified English teacher. Add to this the Madrileos
belief that a good night out is not a treat, it is your God given right and youve 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 Madrileos 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 Madrids original architecture, have a drink and tapas in typical
bars, meet ordinary Madrileos, 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 peoples 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 days shopping.
And finally, a word about Madrids nightlife. If you are finished and ready to go
home at 4 am, youll 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
youll 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 countrys business
centre so theres never a shortage of teaching jobs.
If youre in the mood to thoroughly immerse yourself in Spain, do it in Madrid!

Entry visas
European Union, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand passport holders IGNORE THIS SECTION. You DO NOT need a tourist
visa to enter Spain.
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 countrys 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.
To attend the course you must have a tourist visa that will allow you to stay in Spain
for 5 weeks. Make sure you have your visa BEFORE you send your deposit.
This information is subject to change at any time. To avoid disappointment, please
contact your local consulate for current travel regulations prior to planning your trip.

Both student visa programme paths come with a money back guarantee if you are
denied because the Spanish school and the program are rejected by the consulate.
The Cervantes Institute [CI] is the official organisation for Spanish language learning.
The owner of EBCs partner CI accredited Spanish school is also the President of FEDELE. FEDELE is Spains overseeing organisation for all Spanish schools in Spain.
Fees for the two student visa programme paths

2.
Allow three months to complete the process and make sure that the appointment
you make in Step 3 is at least three weeks before you fly to Madrid.

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.

only with a one-way ticket and passport control asks to see your return ticket,
they will force you to buy a return ticket on the spot. This will be very expensive. The chances of this happening are unlikely but not impossible so play it

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.

Shopping

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 Pealara 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 Madrids 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 Europes 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 its 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.
