Hi all

Had a search but can't see anything about this - I understand in UAE they expect expats to have 2 years teaching experience to work as a teacher - does anyone know if this applies to EFL - or if you can do the relevant course and theoretically go into work? (not talking about visa eligibility).

Thanks in anticipation

Abi

Usual expectation is that you should be a graduate with EFL training to at least CELTA level. Decent jobs require an MA in Applied Linguistics. With the language mills like Berlitz or ESL or Wall Street they usually require that you have a pulse.

Posts, asks and leaves ? So often the case when the OP does not get the answer (s)he wants !

Actually, I have been on holiday. Sorry for not adhering to your requirements. I fail to see why your answer would have been in any way traumatic. At least I'm not asking whether it's possible to survive on a 500k AED salary...

Touche. I hope you had a nice holiday.

Thank you yes, and thank you for your initial response - it was helpful, am looking up courses now.
