 |
|
Hello, everyone,
I was wondering if someone could advise me on the qualifications needed for teaching English in Morocco. Is a bachelor�s degree sufficient or should I pursue some sort of certification?
Any advice will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks,
melaine |

Brooks, thank you for your response. I speak enough French to get around but I couldn't leave home with my Daarija (Moroccan Arabic). 
Can anyone recommend a reputable certification? I have looked online and many seem a bit shady - like buying a degree without working attending a class.  |

| A BA is minimum to get a work permit. Some schools are looking for TEFL certification as well. From people who've done them: the CELTA is still a good option and the one offered out of Prague---can't remember the exact name right now, but they advertise on this site. |

| Reputable language schools in Morocco require a CELTA or equivalent: this could be Trinity TESOL or Via Lingua TEFL. I have yet to come across an accredited on-line certification. |

| Which schools require less than CELTA, and do they supply peanuts? |

| I am sure they would like people with teaching experience, but considering what they pay, they can`t be too picky in who they hire. |
