accessing a TELF-type course without a degree

tread_softly

ok, so i've just graduated from college and want to do something exciting!

i never did a J1 or travelled much so i want to make up for that now.

on top of that, my boyfriend and i are obsessed with japan and would love to go over there.

we've decided the best course of action would be to teach english over there except he's a carpenter and has no university qualifications.

i heard that there are some courses you can do that don't require a degree; can anybody give me information or help?

A company called i to i take people without degrees. However, their courses are not recognised in every country world wide (Ireland and Middle East for example) and I know Japan do generally require that their EFL/ESL teachers have a degree of some sort.

Type ESL cafe into Google and browse/post on that forum for more info.

I am living in Japan at the moment and teaching on the JET programme.

You need a degree to work in Japan.

The only away around it is for you to apply for JET and bring him as a dependent. I would defo apply for JET. It is amazing experience.

If you are going to go this route just fill out on the form that your engaged, it goes down better here.

He might then be able to get some work here teaching english when he is here or doing something else.

If you wnat more info just PM me.
