Will a lack of degree rule me out?

last updated 16th July 2009

It’s true that things have got a lot tighter in Thailand over the past twelve months or so and many employers are now insisting on a degree certificate because it’s become by and large a legal requirement. There are still options open to you though if you don’t have a degree. Quite a number of colleges and universities don’t require a degree and it might be said that a number of private language schools will overlook the lack of a formal qualification. Shop around and see what’s out there.

About Ajarn.com

Ajarn.com was started as a small hobby website in 1999 by Ian McNamara. It was a simple way for one Bangkok teacher to share his Thailand experiences and pass on advice. The website developed a loyal and enthusiastic following. In 2004, Ian handed over the reins to Phil Williams and 'Bangkok Phil' has run the ajarn website ever since.

Ajarn.com has grown enormously and is now the most popular TEFL site in Thailand - possibly even South East Asia. Although best-known for its vibrant jobs page, Ajarn has a wealth of articles, blogs, features and help and advice. But one principle has always remained at Ajarn's core - to tell things like they are and to do it with a sense of humor. Thailand can be Heaven or Hell for an English teacher. It's always been Ajarn.com's duty to present both sides of the equation. Thanks for stopping by.
