I have compleated my master's degree in Microbiology with Biochemistry. My language of study was English. I think I am good in English. My knowledge is better in teaching chemistry for IGCSE and A-Level. I suspect if I get disqualified because of ESL certificate. If possible please guide me, how to get ESL certificate to teach in Qatar or UAE?

    Hello Rajesh;

    This is a common question

    In terms of UAE-specific positions, the general requirements across the board include (this might change over time):

    1. A Bachelor's degree, at minimum
    2. A current teaching license from your local government, or A TESL/TEFL certification, relevant to whatever subject you wish to teach (for example, if you wanted to teach math, you will need a teaching license in math; a TESL or TEFL is not a teaching license)
    3. Two years of relevant teaching experience at the required teaching level (for example, if you were applying to teach high school level English, then you would need to have had at least two years of teaching high school English; elementary or middle school level would not be accepted)

    We encourage you to apply to the positions you are interested in, keep an open mind and pay close attention to the minimum requirements listed on the posting.

    Best,
    Shirin
