| Incredibly low salary. I don't know how they get away with it. |

| Did you add the Won and sterling salary together? You start on around 2.6. 2.9 if you include private pension contribution. But fair enough if you can do better. |

For the level of qualifications required, yes, I'd say that's low. Plus you are only allowed to stay for 2 years! |

The entry requirement is only a month long celta course and a couple of years experience. I wouldn't call it a particularly high level of qualifications. Did you actually read the terms and conditions? The two year contract is renewable. |

I thought that it said a DELTA was required. Apologies if I misread.
As I understand it, British Council teachers are required to move countries every two years. Is this no longer the case? |

The number of years you can work in a centre depends on local employment laws but I've never heard of a BC that kicks you out after only two years. The initial contract is usually for 2 years but you then have the option of renewing once in some centres and unlimited times in others. |
