Helping you with your Visa
Visa Application
Once you’ve secured your teaching role, the next step is applying for your visa. There are a few essential things you’ll need to tick off your list.
Recognized Teaching Qualification
For example, a bachelor’s degree in education, a postgraduate teaching certificate (e.g., PGCE), a US state license or a state recognized qualification from your home country.
English Proficiency
You must demonstrate English proficiency at CEFR Level B2. This may require a test unless you’re from a majority English-speaking country or hold a degree taught in English.
Teaching Experience in Schools
Teaching experience isn’t mandatory for all UK roles, especially for newly qualified teachers, but it greatly enhances your employability and opens doors to a wider range of opportunities.
Criminal Background Check
A clean police clearance certificate from your home country or any country you’ve lived in for 12+ months in the past 10 years is legally required.
