Already a Qualified Teacher? Here’s How to Teach English in Spain

If you're a qualified teacher looking to embark on a teaching adventure in Spain, you're in for an enriching experience. Spain offers not only a beautiful and diverse cultural landscape but also a growing demand for English language instructors. However, navigating the visa requirements and finding job opportunities can be challenging. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the process of getting the right visa and finding work.

The Developing Teacher Course: Your Gateway to Teaching in Spain

Our Developing Teacher course is designed to provide qualified teachers like you with the visa, tools and support needed to teach English in Spain. Let's find out more:

1. Access to a Student Visa in Spain

One of the most significant advantages of our Developing Teacher course is that it grants you access to a student visa in Spain. This visa allows you to reside in Spain legally, travel freely within the Schengen Area, and work up to 20 hours per week. This flexibility is especially valuable for teachers who want to explore Spain while gaining valuable teaching experience.

2. A Support Network of Teachers in Barcelona

Moving to a new country can be a daunting experience, but with our Developing Teacher course, you'll have a built-in support network from day one. You'll join a community of fellow teachers in Barcelona who share your passion for education and adventure. This network extends beyond the classroom and can help you make friends, find additional job opportunities, and build a social network to enhance your experience in Spain.

3. Access to Our Internal Job Board

Finding the right teaching job in Spain can be challenging, especially as a newcomer. With our Developing Teacher program, you gain exclusive access to our internal job board. As a local institution, many Barcelona schools and language centres come directly to TEFL Iberia to find qualified English teachers. This means you'll have a direct link to job opportunities that are not always advertised publicly. It simplifies your job search and increases your chances of securing a teaching position that suits your preferences and qualifications.

4. Affordable Education

We understand that English teachers in Spain may not have the highest salaries. That's why we've priced our Developing Teacher course at the lowest point possible. Our goal is to make this valuable opportunity accessible to as many qualified teachers as possible. We believe that cost should not be a barrier to pursuing your dream of teaching in Spain.
