Paraglider Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hi friends, i got asked today,if i would be interested in teaching english in a secondary school. The only reason for me to hesitate is that i aren't in possesion of a TEFL certificate. Can i get a work permit without the certificate? Are there any other problems in this context? The school is urgently seeking for a teacher,but it would take at least 4-6 weeks to graduate the course.My intention is to teach at first without the certificate and complete the course during the summer holidays. Thanks in advance for every advice Paraglider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenkannif Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 (edited) Alright mate! Maybe, but then again, maybe not. It depends on if the school is willing to go to bat for you, and what your other qualifications are! Also bear in mind that even if you have paperwork flowing out of ever orifice in your body (and IJWT should hopefully back me up on this) if they can't be bothered, don't know, or don't want to give you a WP.....you ain't going to get one. We can answer and guess away until the cows (or should it be water buffalo here?) come home, but it's down to the school....so ask them and then get back to us! Is it a government school? Where? Your other quals? Experience? Edited January 12, 2005 by kenkannif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijustwannateach Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 maybe refer opening poster to Q about Q's and copy this there? Not another separate thread asking about qualifications, degrees and certificates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenkannif Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I think you've just done it (I like answering the questions over and over again 'cos I'm sad!). And I know how to split now! Hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paraglider Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 @ Kenkannif i haven't any teaching experience or a bachelors etc.A friend asked me yesterday if i would be interested,cause they don't find a teacher. Yes,its a a goverment school,located near Phetchaburi,where i'm living since 3 month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenkannif Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 It's possible with just a TEFL they'll be able to get a WP as you're in a province. But it's down to the school, have they said they'll give you one? Are you a non-native speaker mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did teach me 'when' to be polite though . Good luck to you mate; I'm only jerkin' ya chain. Edited January 13, 2005 by mbkudu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
