BORACAY ISLAND, PHILIPPINES

Welcome to the EBC TEFL programme, taught to you next to the best beach in the

world as voted by the Sun Herald, Australia and Harper’s.

Boracay Island is the perfect place for one to encounter a diverse cultural exchange

while immersing oneself in a TEFL program. Meet people from all parts of the world

in one of the most unique places in the world.

Imagine this! You arrive at Aklan or Caticlan airport. You are picked up by our private

minibus service that brings you through lush tropical forests to the port of Caticlan.

You then take a 15 minute boat ride in one of the local fishermen’s’ boats across

crystal clear blue water full of multi-coloured coral and a multitude of tropical fish.

After you get off the boat, you will be driven to the EBC training centre accommoda-

tions. Drop off your suitcase, walk a few hundred yards and find yourself on a 5 mile

stretch of white sand beach bordering the clear warm sea.

To relax, take a seat in one of the small beach hut bars, nestling under coconut

palms and then chill out completely as you sip your ice-cold drink.

A lot of foreign tourists make Boracay a yearly destination and because of this, there

are many who chose to stay on and live here. Even the locals love this place.

Boracay can be found on the north-western tip of Panay in Aklan, a province in the

Visayas islands known for its colourful Ati-Atihan festival.

It boast of all the elements of a tropical heaven: crystal blue waters, powder white

sand, liberal doses of tropical palms and flowering plants, and a healthy and diverse

marine life.

Boracay has three little communities; Yapak in the north, Balabag in the middle, and

Manoc-manoc in the south. Hilly elevations of up to 100 meters above sea level

characterize Yapak and Manoc-manoc. Intertwining trails link the small villages and

may sometimes lead to lush tropical jungles.

The type of food and bars available on Boracay are as diverse as the nationalities of

its visitors and of course the locals. Filipino, French, Chinese, Australian, Belgian,

German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, American, British and Irish all live

together to provide a great variety of food, drink and entertainment.

Boracay beach beckons for some serious swimming, or just wading by the shore.

For more active vacationers, windsurfing, kite surfing (new) and parasailing gears

are readily available.

There are over a dozen beaches dotting Boracay island: White Beach, Diniwid, Bal-

inghai, Lapuz-lapuz, and Bulabog, among others.

Work on your tan, read a book, relax and have a massage. White Beach, probably

the most famous stretch in the country, features bright, fine sand and clear, shallow

waters.

Spend the last hours of the day at any of Boracay’s bars and discos. A good drink in

hand while dancing on the sand with a few brilliant fireflies. If this seems too rowdy

for your taste, take a stroll on the moonlit beach.

If you’re in the mood to thoroughly immerse yourself in the Philippines, do it on

Boracay Island!

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS FOR THE PHILIPPINES

Are you already in the Philippines? If you are, ignore this section.

Your passport

Make sure that your passport will have at least 6 months life left on it when you

travel to the Philippines. If it doesn't, you will have problems.

Entry visas

All students have to get a tourist visa before traveling to Philippines.

“I’ve been told that I don’t need a visa to enter the Philippines, why do I have to

get one?”

Whilst this is true for many countries, the limit on staying in the Philippines without

a visa is a maximum of 21 days (3 weeks). The EBC course runs for 4 weeks so you’ll

need to get one. For most people, obtaining an extended visa is not a problem.

Check with your country’s Philippine 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 Philippine embassy or

consulate as to exactly what you need to do in order to apply for a tourist visa to

enter Philippines. In order to take the course you must have a tourist visa that will

allow you to stay in Philippines for 5 weeks.

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.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Mandatory

Your passport with your visa stamp with at least 6 months left to run on it (with

a visa if you need one – refer to the visa section for more information).

A round-trip or onward travel ticket if you aren't already in the Philippines. If

you arrive only with a one-way ticket and passport control asks to see your re-

turn 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 safe.

Your signed course payment receipts.

If you have a degree, a copy of your transcripts (official or unofficial) or a copy

of your degree certificate.

Recommended items for the TEFL course

Laptop computer - Check that it is wireless B/G compatible. We give you the

codes to connect to our free WIFI but you are responsible for configuring your

laptop and making sure it works properly and connects.

Mobile/Cell phone - If you have a tri-band phone - BRING IT. You will find that it

is cheaper to buy a pay-as-you-go card for your phone than it is to buy a new

phone. Being contactable by phone is VERY important. Good local phone com-

panies: Globe Telecom, Smart Communications, Sun Cellular.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you take out personal accident and health insur-

ance.

Scissors, notebook, glue, pens and pencils, paper clips, blue-tac (don't forget

to put your scissors and other sharp objects in your check-in baggage)

shoes are acceptable, but no hiking boots, sneakers/trainers or beach sandals.

Long pants/trousers. NO jeans. Short or long-sleeved shirts with a collar (a tie is not

required). Loafers or dress shoes are acceptable (no sandals, hiking boots or sneak-

ers/trainers). Long hair should be tied back.

EBC JOB SUPPORT ARRIVING: AIRPORT TO DOWNTOWN TRANSPORTATION

The nearest airport is Caticlan. If you've opted for one of our accommodation pack-

ages that includes airport pick up, just go to the arrival hall and look for someone

with your name on a display card. Aklan airport is about 50 km. from Boracay.

FERRY

Boracay is an island. It is separated from the mainland by a shallow channel about 2

km. wide. Ferries run between the mainland side at Caticlan and Boracay on a regu-

lar basis. The shut down at night. The channel is shallow so there is no harbour. You

get on the ferries by gangplank from the beach so you may get your feet wet. The

crossing takes around 20 minutes.

TRICYCLE

Once you are on Boracay island transportation is by tricycle (motorcycle + sidecar)

or minibus. There are lots of them. All you need to do is flag one down and tell the

give around a 10% tip.

WILL I REALLY GET A JOB TEACHING ENGLISH IN THE PHILIPPINES?

The short answer is YES.

It is easy if you have a recognised certificate like EBC’s.

Boracay and the Philippines have the greatest demand for native English teach-

ers in the whole region.

Many non-English speaking countries throughout the entire region of South

East Asia send their children to Boracay and the rest of the Philippines to learn

English.

Many language schools in the Philippines don't care if a prospective teacher has

a work permit.

EBC is always being asked for teachers by language schools as early as the first

week of a new course.

EBC graduates are usually working shortly after finishing the course at full mar-

ket rates (around 10 USD per hour).

EBC JOB SUPPORT WHAT IS THE TEFL JOB MARKET IN THE PHILIPPINES LIKE?

The TEFL job market in the Philippines is always good and hiring is year-round.

Don't delay looking for a job until you start running out of money. The best time to

get a job is when you finish the course. We send your CV/resume directly to the

hiring managers in schools in the Philippines. Most schools in the Philippines do not

care whether you have a work permit or not.

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SALARY FOR AN ENGLISH TEACHER?

The average salary in the Philippines is about 1,000 USD/month. This varies depend-

ing on what type of school or company you work for and whether you work full or

part-time. We do not recommend that you accept less than 1,000 USD/month un-

less the school is also throwing in some other incentives like free language lessons.

HOW MANY EBC GRADUATES REALLY FIND WORK IN THE PHILIP-

PINES?

The EBC course training centre in Boracay also runs a language school. Subject to

availability, you may get offered an English teaching job by the language school at

the end of the course.

All of our course graduates that have wanted to work in the Philippines have been

able to secure teaching positions.

So far, all EBC Boracay course graduates have got jobs after finish-

ing the course. If you do not get a job, you will be the first.

EBC JOB SUPPORT MORE ABOUT BORACAY

Local transportation

Boracay is a great place to see on foot.

Transportation on Boracay is by tricycle (motorcycle + sidecar) or minibus. There are

lots of them. All you need to do is flag one down and tell the driver where you want

to go. The price is fixed by destination and it is customary to give around a 10% tip

Shopping

Along White Beach, there is a wide variety of gift shops and boutiques along the

beach path and in D*Mall. In addition to the crowded stalls that you expect in Asia,

Boracay also has several high-end stores including clothing, art and household

items. Some places will permit you to haggle, others have a fixed pricing system with

price tags. Shop around as prices vary. Outside of White Beach, the shopping be-

comes sparse or non-existent.

While walking or laying on the sand, anywhere on Boracay, you’ll be approached to

buy a variety of items including jewelry made of shells, fresh fruit, ice cream, sun-

glasses or a nice massage.

COMMON-SENSE WARNING: Shopping areas in tourist areas attract pick-pockets,

so watch your purse or wallet.

Beaches and swimming

You will be on a tropical island that has the best beach in the world. Need we say

more.

sites. Ask your crew to organize a romantic BBQ on the beach with fresh grilled sea-

food. Cruise back at sunset to experience breath-taking views.

It is worth hiring motorbikes or scooters out to explore the island, as there are other

beautiful beaches on the other side of the island that are even better for snorkelling

that will be completely deserted. Hire them for a couple of days and you should get

a discount. The roads are a bit dodgy, and some are still being constructed, but it’s a

good laugh and better than plunking yourself on a patch of white sand and seeing

nothing. If you happen to be lying on the beach though definitely have a massage

and manicure.

Horse riding is a fun activity in Boracay - get off the beaten path and experience na-

tive villages and scenery most other visitors don’t get to see. All levels of experience

are catered to. Ask a tricycle to take you to the Boracay Horse Riding Stables.

D’Wall Climbing Gym, D’Mall near Boat Station 2. An outdoor rock climbing gym

located at D’Mall near Boat Station 2.

Scuba diving

For those interested in Scuba Diving and Diving Packages, there are approximately

20 Dive Centres along White Sand beach; it is a good place to learn or to improve

your skills. Cost is typically $33 per dive which includes hire of all equipment.The

dive centres operate a cartel and have agreed standard prices amongst themselves

so prices will be the same at all centres. There are 25-30 dive sites within 10-15

minutes speed boat ride from the beach, suitable for beginners up to advanced lev-

el. Dives range from ‘Angol Point’ (10m), through ‘Crocodile Island’ (22-25m), a

straightforward wall dive, up to ‘Yapak’- a deep wall dive suitable for only the most

experienced divers due to strong currents, although there is the possibility of seeing

sharks and stingrays.

Boat tours

The best way to see the beauty of Boracay and it`s various beaches is by Paraw

(native outrigger sailboat). You will be constantly asked if you want to take a boat

trip, as there are literally dozens of companies offering this service. It is better to go

with a reputable and established group such as Allen Fun Tours (motorized banca boat

tours) or Red Pirates (para sailing) to ensure your safety and avoid being overcharged.

Kiteboarding

Boracay’s Bulabog beach is known as the best kitesurf destination in Asia. The season

runs from November through to April with onshore winds varying between 12-30 knots.

Isla Kiteboarding school, Bulabog Beach. Offers courses from beginners to advanced

level. All instructors are IKO-certified.

Pinas Kite Boarding, Bulabog Beach. Locally owned kite-boarding shop, offers courses

from level 1 to 3. All instructors are IKO-certified.

Skimboarding

Skimboarding in Boracay has been a new fun sport for kids and entertainment for older

for people for several years. It is a welcome new attraction and a pleasure to watch.

Skimboards are available for rent at several places along White Beach. But be sure to

hire an expert to teach you to do the skills.

Massage/Spa

Along White Beach you will be approached frequently by women offering to give you a

massage, which they will do on the spot or on a towel laid out on the beach - your

choice.

A bit more organized, White Beach also has several “Massage Stations”: collections of

masseurs that have their mats set up. The stations are typically open as long as there

are customers around but in general start to shut down just after sunset.

For Swedish, Accupressure, Shiatsu etc, visit Abe (pronounced Abby) the blind masseur

who operates outside Cocoloco restaurant in Angol (south of boat station 3). Only P300

per hour.

There is a great outdoor massage station in the beach area of Nigi Nigi Beach Resort,

where they have two tables set up. The booth is draped with curtains which they will

close if you wish, or leave open if you want to watch the people on the beach. They

offer every massage in the book, and charge 500 Peso for one hour.

Things to see

White Beach - This is what most people are here for. Not only is it a lovely stretch of

powdery white sand against azure water, it’s also the commercial center of the island.

The long beach is divided into three sections, Station 1, Station 2, and Station 3. The

widest beach front area is located at Station 1 where prime hotels and resorts are locat-

ed. A stretched grove of shady palm trees separates the beach from the line of restau-

rants, cafes, bars, internet cafes, shops, bakeries, etc. There is lots of room to stretch

out on the beach with your sarong or you can rent a reclining chair from one of the ven-

dors where they will be happy to keep you filled with food and drinks. Most people opt

for the shade and tend to hang out under the palm trees.

Puka Beach - A quiet stretch of white sand along the northern tip of the island, Puka

Beach is an image of what most people expect on a tropical island: white sand, azure

water, and relatively empty. This is where locals gather the small puka shells for some of

the jewelry that is sold on the island so expect the sand to be more coarse than on

White Beach. The water tends to be a little rougher on this side of the island but it is

much quieter. Similarly, there are fewer services -- there are only a couple of restau-

rants, but you likely won’t have a problem getting a cold drink or an ice cream as there

are a few vendors that patrol the beach. The main road in Boracay terminates at Puka

Beach therefore you’ll be able to hire a tricycle to get there in less than 10-15 minutes

from central White Beach. Make sure you arrange a pickup if it is a quiet day and no

tricycles are hanging around the beach. Most people experience Puka as one of their

sailboat or banca stops during a day trip. This is a good spot for a picnic, but be sure to

bring your trash home with you.

Baling Hai Beach - This is a quiet little cove just north of Diniwid Beach, where you can

enjoy swimming, snorkelling and dining in a relaxed, peaceful environment. There are

some fantastic views from the cliff-top restaurant. Baling Hai is often included as a stop-

off on an island boat tour.

The Bat Cave - The Bat Cave, is home to small insectivorous bats (the larger fruit bats

roost in the trees on the hillside above Punta Bunga Beach), and locals will be more than

happy to accompany you there for a fee, or “tip”. The cave is on the western-end of the

island and down several dirt roads. The guide will then take you on a short hike through

the forest to the mouth of a cave, which drops down at a very steep angle. The mouth

of the cave is littered with large boulders, and is extremely difficult to enter and walk

down. There is no visible path, no handrail, and the stones are extremely slippery with

slime and bat guano, as well as extremely dangerous, since the cave is at such an ex-

treme angle. Also, the air inside the cave is very warm and humid, and in addition to the

amount of guano, is very difficult to breathe. Snakes live inside the cave. Caution should

be taken by those visiting and entering the cave. There are bats in the cave, but down at

the bottom of it in the dark, and unless you have a flashlight or are there at dusk, you

won’t see them. The ceiling of the cave is interesting, however, with multiple, small

stalactites. Just nearby, you can find another cave, called “crystal” cave which has a lot

of stalactites and a hole on the opposite site of the entrance, from which you can watch

out to the sea if you dare to climb up to it. You will have to pay 50 Pesos entry-fee to

visit both caves on behalf of the family that owns the land, in addition to paying your

guide. Visiting both caves can cost up to 2,500 Pesos for the guide, but this is the “rich

tourist price”, so try to bargain if you like.

Mount Luho - is the highest point of the island. Here you can see Boracay’s panoramic

view.

QUESTIONS ABOUT LIVING IN BORACAY

What are the average housing and living expenses when working in the Philippines?

Most likely you will rent a room in an apartment or house with other teachers or with

the Philippines, and of course it depends on where you choose to live.

It is fair to say that TEFL teachers are quite well-paid by local standards in the Philip-

pines, which means they can afford a comfortable standard of living. A TEFL teacher can

expect to earn around 1,000 USD/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 the Philippines.

How much money should I bring?

You should budget to spend between 500 Dollars (Spartan life) to 1,000 Dollars (good

life) for the period covering the 28 day course. If you want to stay and work in Boracay

or the rest of the Philippines you should budget between 1,000 to 2,000 Dollars to cover

finding apartments and living expenses until you get your first pay-check.

What if I get sick in Boracay?

Get health insurance before you travel.

EBC’s mission is to ensure that you achieve your teaching goals and

get you started on a successful EFL career. We focus on quality

training and getting you a job in the shortest time possible, usually

within a week or less.

The four week, intensive EBC International TEFL Certificate course is a

practical and thorough course designed for candidates with no previ-

ous experience teaching English. It is also suitable for candidates with

some experience but no formal training in the TEFL TESOL field.

The EBC online TEFL course offers weekly tutorial and feedback ses-

sions live with your trainer and even better, 6 hours of observed

teaching practice given to real English language learners.

Our EBC hybrid TEFL course is the same as the online course except

that you do your teaching practice with us in Boracay.

EBC is an accredited centre of the College of Teachers and awards

TEFL certificates that are internationally recognised.
