The TEFL Market Brief
Where English teaching demand is heading, once a month
A monthly read for the schools, colleges and universities we work with. Market data, government and curriculum moves, and where those create openings you can plan around. Written to help you plan, not to sell to you.

Three sections, roughly a five minute read
Short enough to read before a meeting, specific enough to take into one.
Market data
The figures that frame the year ahead, each one attributed so you can quote it. Market size, growth rates, and where the demand is concentrating.
Country watch
Three government, policy or curriculum stories from one region, each with a plain line on what it means for partners. The region rotates every edition.
Dates and deadlines
The planning and hiring windows worth having in your calendar, and the policy dates that decide when institutions start recruiting.
Cited, checked, and held to a public standard
A market brief is only worth reading if you can take its claims into a board meeting. Ours are sourced so you can.
- Every figure is attributed to an official or published source, named in the email.
- Evergreen claims are re-checked each edition rather than carried forward.
- Our Level 5 qualifications are government regulated through Ofqual and awarded by Highfield, on the public register as 6101574X.
- We publish our editorial charter in full, so the accuracy bar we hold ourselves to is a public one.
Before you sign up
Who is The TEFL Market Brief for?
Language schools, colleges, universities, training academies and platforms that place, train or employ English teachers. It is written for the people who plan intake, staffing and course portfolios, not for individual teachers looking for a job.
How often does it arrive?
Once a month, on the first Wednesday. That is the only email the list is used for.
Is it a sales email?
No. Each edition leads with market data and country policy, and states plainly where Premier TEFL fits rather than building the whole email around it. If an edition has nothing useful to say, we would rather say less.
What happens after I enter my email?
You will receive a confirmation email. Click the link inside it and you are subscribed. Nothing is sent until you confirm, and every edition carries an unsubscribe link.
Do I need to be a Premier TEFL partner to subscribe?
No. The brief is open to any institution working in English language teaching. If you would like to discuss a partnership, the partners page is the place to start.
