trysull90 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hi everyone, I was hoping someone may be able to help with a query of mine? I have been to Thailand on a couple of occasions for vacation, however I have recently been thinking of staying for good at some point in the near future. With regards to working / teaching in Thailand, I was hoping someone could maybe offer me a little more info. Do you need a Degree to teach all academic levels? I know you need to do a TEFL course, & a degree is required for certain levels of education, higher academia and so forth, but I was not sure if you were able to teach at any level at all without a degree? Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 You have it backwards. You need a degree to obtain a Work Permit to teach legally in K - 12 schools and post-secondary. You do not a TEFL course to obtain a Work Permit. Of course, it will look better if you have one, but it is not a legal requirement. You can teach at language schools (legally) without a degree.

SanookTeufel Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Wow, really? I always thought I needed university to work at all period. @allane Do you have a source for this information? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 It is very hard to find a source to state that something is not required. I personally worked at a language school and know that all the foreigners working there did not have degrees. The view of the Dept. of Education can besummarized as follows: - K -12 schools are compulsory; the teachers who work in them should meet a certain standard. - language schools are a business; anyone who thinks that their instructors are not good enough can take their business elsewhere.
