A Teaching Dream, But No Money to Travel

Chinedu always dreamed of teaching abroad. He had spent years honing his skills, teaching English in Lagos, and imagining a life where his passion for education could take him to new countries. But every time he tried to take the next step—applying for a visa, enrolling in a TEFL course, or buying a flight ticket—he hit the same roadblock.

Money.

One evening, scrolling through his phone after another exhausting day in the classroom, he sighed. "How am I supposed to raise over N2 million when I barely save anything from my salary?"

It felt impossible.

A Realistic Way to Fund Your Teaching Abroad Journey

Chinedu isn’t alone. Many Nigerian teachers want to take advantage of the global demand for English instructors, but the cost of relocation keeps them stuck.

That’s where the TEFL JAPA Funding Programme comes in. Instead of waiting years to save up, this programme helps teachers earn their relocation funds in a structured way.

💡 What if you could fund your TEFL journey without loans or years of saving? Would you take that chance?

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ **Two-Class Training & Skilling** – Participants learn appointment-setting skills, a remote side hustle that guarantees earnings.

2️⃣ **Earning Phase** – Work opportunities are already provided, so participants can immediately start making money.

3️⃣ **Mentorship & Support** – Over 6-12 months, additional training is given (at no extra cost) to help maximize income.

4️⃣ **Relocation Phase** – Once participants earn enough, they pay for their **visa, tuition, ticket, and initial accommodation** before traveling abroad.

5️⃣ **TEFL Certification & Paid Internship** – The programme includes a **four-week TEFL training** in **Costa Rica, Peru, or Guatemala**, followed by a **three-month paid teaching internship** with **free accommodation and meals**.

💡 How different would your life be if, in 6 months, you were earning in dollars and living abroad?

How Much Can You Earn?

Unlike typical side hustles that take forever to pay off, this structured programme ensures participants can earn between **N100,000 and N3,160,000** before relocating.

Since the side hustle is appointment setting, it’s remote and flexible—teachers can continue their regular jobs while building their relocation funds.

💡 *If you could make an extra N100,000 or more each month, how fast could you change your life?*

A Refundable Investment in Your Future

The only cost to join is the initial two-day training fee, which is fully refundable once participants complete the programme and relocate.

This means there’s no financial risk—just a commitment to following the process.

💡 Would you invest in something if you knew your money would come back once you completed it?

Who Is This For?

✔ Teachers (or aspiring teachers) looking to relocate abroad

✔ Anyone willing to learn a side hustle to fund their relocation

✔ Those tired of low salaries and ready for a real financial plan

The next training session starts next Saturday, and spaces are limited.
