TEACHING WITHOUT A DEGREE 

 

There is no doubt that there is more opportunities for TEFL teachers with a degree, however there remains a vast amount of work throughout the world for TEFL teachers who have not been to University. TEFL teachers without a degree who have gained experience can still find work even in countries that officially require one, as experience can often have more weight than an academic qualification.

If you do not have a degree do not think that you can not have a successful TEFL career. We have compiled a list of all the countries where a degree is not needed to apply for TEFL positions. We hope it helps! This list may change over time as countries make changes on visa requirements on a continuous basis. Please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.
