I can't seem to post anything on the international jobs forum of this site.... so I'm wondering if anyone has any information on teaching in Brunei, what it's like for a westerner to live there etc.
Thanks for any info Smile

It's Muslim. Probably high cost of living. No alcohol except in very select places. English market? Not sure.

Most of the jobs in Brunei are in primary and secondary schools (at least the ones regularly advertised). Not much of uni/private institute teaching. You have to be teacher-certified (or at least hold a BEd) from the UK/NZ/Canada/SA/ Ireland in addition to EFL experience and they do NOT accept/hire US citizens.

If you fit that bill, check out CfBT-Brunei. They're the primary recruiting agent for most of the jobs there. It looks like a sweet gig (salaries about 3000 US and up with awesome housing) and Malaysia is right next door for getaways.
