Yes, you read that correctly a bachelor\u2019s degree is not necessary to secure a job, so you can all breathe a sigh of relief. \u00d3le! This means that once you have completed your 120 hour TEFL course you are ready to go. It doesn\u2019t matter if you have just finished High School or if you are 50 years old, once your TEFL course is completed you are qualified to teach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, that is not to say having a bachelor\u2019s degree goes unnoticed in Spain. In fact, it is usually a requirement if you want to work in an International or Private school. Plus, it will help you earn a higher wage. But it is not a necessity to have one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are some requirements you must have to teach English Spain, these are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluency in English ( being a Native speaker is not mandatory )<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A TEFL, TESOL, or CELTA certificate (Check out our TEFL courses <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/tefl-courses-ireland\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>*<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be an EU passport holder (preferred but not essential)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>*<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Spain employs English teachers from across the world, it is easier for EU passport holders to secure a job as they do not have to secure a work visa to start teaching, while non-EU citizens do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h5><b> There are lots of English teaching jobs!<\/b><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrary to popular belief, English is not widely spoken in Spain. Once you leave the tourist hotspots and main cities, you will discover that the level of English amongst Spaniards is very low, especially if you compare it to English fluency levels found in the countries of Northern Europe. As a result, there is a constant demand for English language teachers across Spain in various different forms. You could end up teaching English in a Private school, a language center, as part of an Internship, or in private tutoring lessons to name a few. There will be a position that suits you and your teaching preferences you just need to look around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if moving abroad AND finding a place to live AND getting a job seems too intense for you, check out our 9 month Internship program in Spain.

Famous for its nightlife and love of Reguet\u00f3n music, you are sure to have a blast as you dance into the early hours of the morning with your fellow teachers. But, if its wild nightlife is not for you, then you can explore what else Spain has to offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Gaudi\u2019s beautiful architecture to Picasso\u2019s paintings to flamenco dancing, Spain has an abundance of diverse and varied cultural experiences. Seeing how the country\u2019s history is deeply complicated and layered, it is not surprising that Spain has become home to a melting pot of different cultures and experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top tip: Whenever you go to a new city, be sure to check if there is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guruwalk.com\/c\/spain\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free walking tour <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">available there so you can gain an insight into the history of the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h5><b> Low cost of living = A high quality of life<\/b><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically the monthly wage for an English language teacher in Spain ranges between<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">700-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2500. This figure differs depending on your experience, working hours, teaching position, and where you live. For example, it is more expensive to live in the larger cities in Spain such as Madrid or Barcelona in comparison to Valencia or smaller coastal towns in the South. It is important to keep in mind that your wage will reflect the cost of living in your new home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But no matter what your wage is, your money will go quite a long way in Spain. In fact, compared to other European countries the cost of living in this Mediterranean paradise is quite low. You will pay less for almost all the basics including food, transport, utilities, and accommodation in comparison to the rest of Europe (which means you can save it all for exploring the different cities and towns across the country, Ol\u00e9!)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-rachel-claire-6762386-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57931\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-rachel-claire-6762386-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-rachel-claire-6762386-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-rachel-claire-6762386-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-rachel-claire-6762386-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-rachel-claire-6762386-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-rachel-claire-6762386-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-rachel-claire-6762386-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-rachel-claire-6762386-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In regards to your rent, you can expect to pay between <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">300-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">600 per month for a room in a house-share including in cities such as Madrid and Barcelona.
