'PORTABLE ELEMENTS'

These are for things that will benefit you in other contexts (domestically or internationally) and will follow you wherever you go.

TEFL COURSE

TEFL Course / Certificate – approx. £79 to £125 – depending on course provider)

You must have a TEFL certificate to qualify for a Z Visa. You can shop around for TEFL courses, and theoretically - any course provider might give you a certificate that gets you into China on a Z Visa. However, we don’t know that. We only know that our course partner certificates have a strong track record of successful Z Visa applications.

We have a partnership with i-to-i, who are accredited by the QCA (Qualifications and Curriculum Authority) and can provide two types of courses you can complete online:

120 hour Online TEFL Course (these prices are a guide and subject to slight change)

60 hour Online TEFL Course (these prices are a guide and subject to slight change)

We also have a partnership with The TEFL Academy who also run excellent courses

Police check

Enhanced DBS Certificate (you may already have one of these. If you do not ALREADY have one, then you MUST apply for the ACRO)

Please do ask for help with any aspect of the Police checking process (including information on the ICPC - if you get asked about this by ACRO when applying).

vaccinations

We cannot advise you on vaccinations as these are a medical issue for a medical practitioner. However, you can search on the internet for reputable sources, and we advise you to ask your local medical practitioner for advice.
