Thinking about TESL in Colombia? The government has recently changed the law and requires that you have an actual teaching degree before issuing you a work permit. A BA with CELTA, TESL or TEFL will no longer do the trick. I had confirmed this fact with the Colombian Consul in Toronto, Canada this morning.

Not sure about Colombia, but I find that what you hear from consulates and embassies back home isn't always the same as what's true on the ground in a foreign land.

Mexico is certainly an example of this. It would be nice to hear from someone in Colombia who knows...

Yeah, where is everybody in Colombia? Nobody replied to my post about semesters ( Crying or Very sad )... But seriously, it would be really good to get some information about teaching there...
