I�ve been in Madrid a year and think I�m fairly well tuned to the general market and what I will be able to receive from the language academies in the coming September (if I decide to leave my current one). However, I�m more interested in entering the university system of Madrid in one of their English language schools.

Last year when I was a fresh teacher with only a couple of months experience under my belt I went for an interview with a university in Madrid and it went well, until my complete lack of Spanish came into play. That�s what I�m made to believe is the case anyway.

So what are the qualifications that are needed to enter into a university? So far I�m still a little inexperienced:

TEFL certificate (not name brand but meets the requirements)
Halfway through an M.A. in Applied Linguistics and TESOL from a British University (distance learning).
1 and a bit years of teaching experience.
pre-intermediate Spanish.


Most employers in Spain are blown away that I�m studying for an M.A. but what�s the situation like in the universities? I�m pretty sure there are some university-based posters here who it�d be great to hear from.

Sorry I can't answer your question, but I would love to hear if anyone else has information about unis. Good luck!
