 Jumping into the topic of teaching English without a degree, and yes, it is possible because we do get that asked quite a lot, you know At ITTT people ask us do I need a degree to teach English abroad? Can I teach abroad without having a degree? Because there are a lot of people who don't have a degree and don't despair. Yes, it is possible However, what you these are the three main things that you need to have for teaching abroad or also online without a degree so the first thing would be to definitely get a Teflur TESOL certificate that you at least have some kind of certificate and Nowadays like a Teflur TESOL is pretty much a standard thing Whether or not you do have a degree so also people who have a degree should definitely get Teflur TESOL certified it has become a Requirement in many countries to go and teach there and also a lot of employers prefer hiring people with a Teflur and Also, if you don't have a degree then it's definitely a huge plus at least having a Teflur TESOL certificate and for people without a degree we definitely recommend going for a sort of Bigger kind of Teflur certificate so one that has a lot more hours than the standard 120 so we would recommend the the one of the packs so master package that is 220 hours and then we have the professional package That's 470 hours that includes the standard certificate plus the specializations in teaching English to business people teaching English to young learners and also the TESOL diploma course So we recommend getting that for people without a degree that is really going to enhance your chances of landing a job So that's the one thing and then the other thing obviously Experience would be great. So this could be any kind of experience, you know Even volunteer experience or some kind of teaching experience even in your hometown You know, maybe a church or at like your local just in your neighborhood Tutoring and teaching, you know younger kids Maybe or older people or whoever that is definitely counted as experience or if you want to go Usually what a lot of people do who want to go abroad they start teaching online first to get experience So some kind of experience is also going to enhance your chances if you don't have a degree and you want to go abroad And then also a big thing is flexibility So what do I mean flexibility? A lot of people obviously come You know into the whole idea of teaching abroad and they have this one place where they really want to go So for example, Tiana really wants to go to South Korea Well, if you want to go to South Korea, you need a degree So if that is where you want to go and you don't have a degree, you might have to just change your destination And you might not be able to go there. So Just be flexible be open-minded You don't you definitely don't have as many opportunities as many, you know as people with a degree So it's more limited. So you do need to be a lot more flexible in Terms of location where you want to go. So That's one thing Okay, let me look at the comments over here So Marcia says the thing is that I'm already a teacher of English here in my country. So what I want to Know is to live. Oh The new experiences that teaching abroad can bring. Yeah, okay. Got it. Cool Cool. Yeah, for sure for sure And Tiana says that's my plan while I work on my degree. Yeah teaching online getting experience. Yeah Okay All right, and Andy says I have a bachelor's degree in religious education. So I just would like to be Teflor t-cell certified Yeah, absolutely. Great So what I actually also want to mention when That's also a question we get a lot for teaching abroad or teaching English in general online as well Do I need to have a degree in English or in teaching in education? And the answer is no most of the time like 90% of the time you just need to have a degree in Any major so it doesn't matter. So even your bachelor's degrees in religious education So that's also fine. It just needs for a lot of countries. It just needs to be a four-year degree So it doesn't matter my degree was in business administration and management so I Was still able to go and teach so it doesn't matter your major doesn't matter Obviously if it's in education if it's in t-cell if it's in English It's gonna be a huge plus and you're probably gonna have a lot more opportunities And also probably gonna have higher pay But it doesn't have to be and actually most of my friends who are teaching abroad don't have a degree in Education or in teaching so Alright Good.
