yes, you need real degrees, they will check. either a cert for ESL or several years of experience.
I really enjoyed Shanghai but it is spendy to go out for entertainment.
agree with the above. try Google.
big schools are Fudan, Shanghai Normal Univer, and Shanghai Univer of Foreign Studies. they usually hire friend of a friend of a friend but have been know to pick up a "newbie" with an MA and experience in the field.
good luck! |

"Or several years of experience" was written as an alternative to the ESL certificate, not the degree.
Yes, you need a minimum of a bachelor's degree to be a foreign expert in China (which is necessary in order to receive a work or Z-Visa). However, in poorer or less desirable (cold, polluted) cities, private English language schools will "generate" a degree for you and will secure the foreign expert papers based on the "new" degree. But then, you are doing business with an unscrupulous school and you will suffer for that in a variety of ways, believe me. In Shanghai, Beijing and other such places, you will need a degree or an excellent forgery with a matching transcript (a couple I know just found employment in Shanghai using the "instant degree" method). A lot of people do that in China but if you get caught you will most likey lose your job and your Z-Visa. Does anyone know if you get deported (for falsifying degrees) or does the PSB simply take the green-book and revert you to a tourist L-Visa?
Whatever you do, especially if you do not have a degree, do not let anyone (particularly recruiters) talk you into coming here to work on a L- or F- (business) visa. Even if you have a degree, it's a big mistake to come to China to work with anything but a Z-Visa. So, be careful. |

gggg ... smarty punch to you ...
As I underlined: several years of experience DOESN'T give you an ESL certificate....!
There is NO alternative. What part of "certificate' you do not understand?
You, as well as ChinaLady, are explaining that several years of experiences are equable to an ESL certificate...
FYI - Most Chinese schools could care less about your MA, BA or BS, they only care for your EFL.....
you are deluding yourself into your panty... |
