At the International Teacher Training Organization (ITTO), we are dedicated to securing paid English teaching positions abroad for you through our Guaranteed Paid Job Placement Program in Mexico and by providing worldwide employment contacts—so you can travel the world while teaching English as a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certified teacher.

Study Abroad: Earn your internationally recognized TEFL certification in an intensive 4-week Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) course in Guadalajara, Mexico. Located in the heart of one of the country’s most culturally vibrant cities, ITTO is proud to welcome you to Guadalajara—often described as the most Mexican of all cities and the birthplace of iconic national symbols such as tequila, mariachi music, traditional ceramics, and authentic Mexican cuisine.

In recent years, Guadalajara has gained worldwide recognition as one of Latin America’s most exciting destinations. National Geographic included the city among the 25 Best Places to Visit in 2025, while the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler magazine named Guadalajara one of the Best Places to Go in 2026.

The city’s international reputation continued to grow as Guadalajara proudly hosted matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup™, jointly organized by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. This marked Guadalajara’s historic third time hosting World Cup matches, following the tournaments of 1970 and 1986. Even more impressively, an international study conducted by Live Football Tickets ranked Guadalajara as the Best Host City among all 16 World Cup host cities, placing it ahead of destinations such as Toronto and New York. The study evaluated factors including hotel affordability, climate, visitor experience, and safety, recognizing Guadalajara as an outstanding destination for international travelers.

This exceptional combination of rich cultural heritage, international recognition, affordability, safety, and modern infrastructure makes Guadalajara the perfect destination to begin your international teaching career. At ITTO, you’ll not only earn an officially accredited TEFL certification recognized by the Secretary of Education of Mexico, but you’ll also immerse yourself in the Spanish language and authentic Mexican culture while benefiting from our Guaranteed Paid Job Placement and Direct Employment Contacts Worldwide.

Studying abroad will give a boost to your teaching career as it will improve your cognitive, interpersonal, and relationship skills. It will also increase the tolerance for ambiguity and adaptability, giving stronger cross-cultural sensitivity and dependability to those who study abroad in a non-English speaking country.

Nowadays, employers are most eager to hire candidates who have acquired valuable skills abroad such as broad and strategic thinking, independence, self-reliance, global mindedness, and sensitivity to customs and cultural differences as some to be named.

Our program has been accredited by the Secretary of Education of Mexico (SEP) and has been recognized and accepted by many Universities, Colleges, High-Schools and Language Schools all over the world.
We are also proud members of The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), The College of Teachers, The International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (IATEFL), The International Association for Language Learning Technology (IALLT), and The American Chamber of Commerce/Mexico (AMCHAM).

Work Abroad: Upon course completion, we Guarantee Paid Job Placement anywhere in Mexico, and we provide direct employment contacts in practically any corner of the globe.

What is TEFL and a TEFL Certification? TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, also known as TESOL, which stands for Teaching English as a Second or Other Language. Both work for the same purpose, they are just different ways of naming the field.
