Can I teach in Korea with just a TEFL or TESOL Certificate?
In order to better serve our readers we do our best to answer all questions. Please, send us your questions here.
Hello, I need to know precisely what are the prerequisites for teaching at this, or any other establishment in Korea. Is a TEFL certificate adequate? I do not have a university degree, so this would preclude me from teaching if that is a requirement.
Our response:
At the least, you need a Bachelor’s degree of any field or higher and English should be your first language. Unfortunately, a TEFL or TESOL certificate alone is not adequate.
The Korean government is cracking down on fraudulent English teachers. Its a shame a few have to ruin it for all of the legitimate people. If you have a legitimate degree it is best to apply sooner, rather than later.
Best of luck!
