Teaching with TEFL

[John Tank]

Does anyone have any experience of obtaining an English teaching or teaching support position with a TEFL certificate but no degree? Was a work permit obtained? I read it is possible but there is nothing as good as relevant experience. Thank you.

Better suited to the Teaching forum.

Without a degree you can not legally teach at a regular school as no work permit and teaching waiver will be issued, but you can get a job at a tutoring school.

You'll most likely find some places that are willing to hire you, but you won't get a work permit, so it's a risk.  It's easier to teach in Europe where they value a decent TEFL qualification like a CELTA or Trinity, rather than a degree in any subject.  Here's a recent job available in Poland: 

Qualifications

- Must be a native speaker OR possess native-level fluency (Cambridge C2 or IELTS Band 8.5)
- ANY NATIONALITY
- Must have TEFL certification or equivalent (or be willing to obtain)
