I figure this is the place to find people who would know... maybe not?

I'm trying to fiure out a way to get my credential/license OR maybe a master's WHILE teaching out of the country. Preferably a program where one pays for the other, or something of the sort.

I'd like to be teaching in Asia in August or September and would also love to be in a Master's or Credential program while teaching over there.

Any help appreciated.

There are some reputable distance MA programs (Leicester, Surrey, and Birmingham, England all offer these, and there are some good Australia-based ones as well). But as for someone to PAY for you to take them Shocked

I think it's unlikely...

Maybe someone has some better ideas about how to go about getting your course paid for??!!

in Poland where they advertise you can take your master's while teaching in-country. I see it advertised on one of the other sites from time to time.

MA programmes are easy.

Licences are more difficult as you usually have to teach in that country for a year. HOWEVER, that being said, the Dept of Ed in NJ will give you a cert of eligibility, which means that you are certified to teach in public schools in NJ, but it's not a licence. In order to get a licence, you actually have to teach in NJ for a year. But maybe places will accept it. I'm at an international school right now.

I got my P3 and ESL cert of eligibility without stepping foot in the US, My Spanish one, I had to go back to take the praxis test
