Will I have access to transportation?

  • Many overseas placements are in major metropolitan areas which have excellent public transportation.
  • Often, the school will provide you with accommodations that are within walking distance of the school, and if not, they may provide assistance in finding suitable transportation.
  • Some contracts will require you to have a driver's license or the ability to operate a moped or motor-scooter to travel from site to site. Again, it will all depend on where you are teaching and the contract and country conditions.
  • Visit the Transportation section included in our Country Information section of the website for specific countries' modes of transportation.
