As a British Teacher, what qualifications do I need to teach abroad

As a British Teacher, what qualifications do I need to teach abroad Often times, we get questions from British teachers asking about their qualifications and whether they can transfer to teach abroad, since the certification process in the United Kingdom is a bit different from North America. Depending on what experience you have, you could potentially teach anywhere in the world. I have a Bachelor’s Degree: With a Bachelor’s Degree, you could potentially qualify to teach ESL abroad in certain countries, such as China, Thailand, or Vietnam. Some positions may require an ESL certificate, such as TEFL Certification. However, if you are you looking to expand your options to places such as the Middle East, you will need to obtain more qualifications.

With this credential, you could qualify to teach not only as an ESL Instructor, but with select programmes as well. Countries such as Qatar and Kuwait do welcome newly licensed teachers with the QTS under their belts.
