About Dubai
Teaching in Dubai can be one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have. With enthusiastic and well-motivated students, you will certainly find each day interesting and like no other. The main curriculum being taught in Dubai are those commonly found in British and US schools. However, with such a large variety of public and private schools you will find that some specialise in other areas.
With attractive tax-free salaries, impressive relocation packages available and schools with world class teaching facilities, the competition for the best jobs can be fierce. However, if you’re successful in finding a teaching job in Dubai, it offers the perfect opportunity to experience the ex-pat lifestyle, develop new skills and further your career in one of the most exotic and luxurious locations on the planet.
Can I teach English in Dubai without a degree?
In short, yes, it is possible to find an English teaching job in Dubai without a degree, as the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Education allows some teachers to take a TEFL course or equivalent to teach at a lower standard of school, only if the teacher has the required years of experience for the role. However, being qualified to a higher standard - usually a Bachelor’s or Master's Degree - is necessary to work in any kind of private international school or language school.
