Contracts are renewable by mutual consent between the host institution and the volunteer. Click here for more information on mid-year placements. Teachers will have 18 to 22 class meetings per week, each class lasting 45 minutes. Teachers are paid a salary in local currency according to the same pay scale as native teachers. Salaries are more than sufficient for covering everyday living expenses and in-country travel, especially since accommodations are paid for.
Expenses are thus limited to food and travel.
However, volunteers will not be able to make regular payments on bills at home from their earnings. CETP volunteers are covered under the health care system of the host country, which covers all doctor visits, prescriptions and hospital stays. However, teachers are still advised to obtain international insurance that provides for overseas medical evacuation and repatriation.
