 |
|
Can anyone list me some countries where I don't need a BA?
I will have a Trinity cert and I also have a college degree. I'm Canadian born so I'll be travelling with a Canadian passport.
thanks for the help. |

Indonesia and China, no problems.
I'm puzzled by one thing: how can you have a college degree but NOT a BA? Do you have a two-year diploma (ie. what American colleges call an "associate degree")?  |

Yes I would assume it counts as an Associate Degree.
School in Quebec is unique to the rest of the world |

| In Canada, we usually call university "university", and college, well, um, "college". |

BA & CELTA is now the form for teaching overseas.
Get a few years behind you and you'll have the decent jobs kicking your email to death.
with nothing, you can still do MacDonalds (sorry I mean EF)

It's not as simple as asking which countries require the degree.
Immigration in Japan, for example, wants you to have a bachelor's degree for the work visa, but you can also get it if you have several years of experience.
You don't need a degree to have a spouse visa, dependent visa, working holiday visa, or student visa, and you can teach on all of them. Not FT in some cases.
What employers want, however, will vary. Some prefer the degree and visa, while others accept people with the visa and no degree.
It also depends on what kind of teaching you are interested in. Conversation schools, high schools, international schools, universities, etc. |

In Quebec, we don't have college, we have CEGEP. And from CEGEP you get a DEC (Diplome d'Etude Collegiale). It's like college but under a different name they are two year programs, or three year technical programs, such as nursing, film editing, computers, etc... people here do 5 years high school, 2 years CEGEP, and then 3 years university.
CEGEP is free so it offers people who don't have money the chance to get an education beyond high school, and for them to specialize a little and see if they like something enough to study it in university. Or, if you know you want to do a certain job, you take a technical program for 3 years and then you can work, or go to school. |

Glenski is right.
I have friends teaching in Korea, Taiwan, China, India, Thailand, and Japan who do not have their degree.
It's what you know, not what paper you have. |

You can teach in the Czech Republic without a BA, and sometimes without a TEFL Certificate. Although I would recommend you gain your certification as you will be more respected and prepared with it.
