Do I need a degree to enrol on a TEFL/ TESOL course?
Ideally, you should have attained a degree before studying for TEFL/TESOL qualifications. However, some teaching centres will accept students with alternative educational backgrounds. If you do not have a degree you should carefully consider your employment possibilities before enrolling on a TEFL/ TESOL course. Many employers of TEFL/ TESOL certificate holders will only consider graduates for English language teaching positions.
