CETP strongly recommends that you apply early for teaching placements. Even if you feel you still need to get more teaching experience, or are considering various "work abroad" programs, it is a good idea to apply to CETP well in advance so that we can begin lining up the best possible placement for you. If you choose not to come, we will refund
your fees if you let us know by May31st (November
1st for Winter Semester). After that date, we will refund all but your $500 application fee, and even that will be returned to you if your change of mind is due to an emergency over which you have no control. Of course in the unlikely event that we can not find a suitable placement for you, we will refund your fees.
By
applying early, you enable us to locate placement
options for you that meet any special requests
you may have. For instance, we recommend that
you allow extra time for the placement process
if:
- you
would like to be placed with or near a friend or family
member
- you
would like to be placed in a specific town or region
- you
are plan to bring dependents or pets with you
We
look forward to receiving your application! Please
contact us if
you have any questions.

the details about how to apply and what supporting
documents are needed can be found in our enrollment

CETP usually offers
January placements preceded by a short orientation
in Budapest.
An
original doctor's letter will be required for
CETP to procure your work permit.
Your doctor's letter must state, "John Doe is in good general health, and does not have
any communicable diseases. To my knowledge, there is no medical condition—to
include mental illness or chemical dependency—that
could undermine John Doe's capacity to teach in a
Hungarian school."
The
language of the letter is very important and should
appear exactly as above, substituting your name
for "John Doe."
Your doctor's letter should include a copy of the lab results
a TB test.
Finally,
the letter should be dated no sooner than 6 months
before your contract begins, so you will need
to send this in separately from the rest of your
application packet. Please send a copy of the
letter to the CETP office in Portland and have
the original with you when you arrive overseas.

How
do I notarize documents?
|
In
order to process your work permit, your CETP host
school will need to submit a notarized copy of
your college or university diploma, and other
documents, to the local labor authorities. To
notarize a document, make a good quality black-and-white
photocopy of your original document. Then take
both the original document and the photocopy to
a public notary, which you can find at
any bank or copy shop. What you need is for the
notary to certify that the photocopy you have
is a "true and exact copy of the original."
You do not need the notary to notarize any other
aspect of the document, such as the validity of
the information contained in the document, or
the signatures on the document. When notarizing,
the notary should sign and stamp the photocopy
itself, and should not attach a
separate sheet with their signature and stamp.
Follow the same steps for all notarizations.
