Global Classroom Careers

Your realistic route to teaching abroad

A 120-hour TEFL qualification is your passport to living and working overseas. We provide independent, honest guidance to match your exact profile with genuine global hiring rules.

Hiring Criteria

The three core visa requirements

While rules vary significantly by destination, most international schools and immigration authorities assess your profile across three main pillars.

Degree status

English proficiency

Background checks

Many competitive regions require a university degree for work visas, but several vibrant destinations hire solely on your TEFL qualification.

Both native and fluent non-native speakers find rewarding roles. Some visa routes require a passport from specific English-speaking nations.

A clean criminal record check from your home country is a standard legal prerequisite for securing a teaching visa globally.

Classroom Confidence

No prior teaching experience required

Most newly qualified teachers start with zero classroom hours. Your 120-hour training provides the practical lesson planning frameworks and classroom management techniques needed to lead your first lesson with absolute confidence.

Schools abroad value enthusiasm, cultural adaptability, and structured preparation over years of formal teaching history. We help you highlight transferable skills that appeal directly to international employers.

Even with no experience you could be earning more than $2500 a month.
