I do not have a university degree. Will this affect finding a teaching position abroad?
- Some schools accept candidates with a college diploma or high school diploma in light of the value of native English ability and TESOL/TESL/TEFL certification. Among other countries, Oxford Seminars graduates who possess a two-year college diploma or associate's degree have often found TESL work in Taiwan, while whose with a high school diploma have found work in Mexico and Ecuador, for example..
- However, while some schools do accept candidates without a bachelor’s degree, most schools/recruiters require candidates hold a Bachelor of Arts minimum in any discipline.
- Some countries prefer that candidates apply for positions in person, allowing them to assess the level of competency. Some countries/schools seek experience. While applying in-country using a tourist visa, schools are sometimes willing to sponsor teachers for a working visa. It is important to keep in mind that there is at times stiff competition for ESL teaching positions with candidates holding a BA or higher having the advantage.
