Pursuing teacher certification while abroad

Getting teacher certification while living or teaching overseas abroad

The minimum requirement to teach at some international schools is a bachelors degree (Four-year degree). Many schools also require some form of teacher certification and school leadership/counseling certification for leadership/support roles.

If you are an uncertified teacher, who is already working at an international or bilingual school, there are now online and hybrid certification options.
