Sign up with Google Sign up with FacebookIt isn't mandatory for the visa itself. It is theoretically mandatory to teach english in China. Some schools will overlook it, or give you a fake one (for a fee, I have found), but legally, you're supposed to have one. If you get a real one (easy, cheapish) you can almost teach anywhere in the world.
no its not needed for teaching in China if you have a degree in education. TEFL is a short cut to teach in China.
Nope. Not needed.
But if you want a TEFL, it is easy and relativly cheap to get online within a day or two.
TEFL is short for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. And yes if you are working as a teacher and you got a z visa that says you are teacher you need a 120 hours TEFL cert. for the government. If you got a working z visa but you do not got a green book than you are teaching illegal. or your school made you a fake TEFL. they are schools in china that can provide you with a real TEFL that can be check online if they are real or fake. Most of the register TEFL school got a web checking system.
Probably so, for the orientation that is. But with the same token is it possible to get z visa if one has a University Diploma + TEFL certificate instead of a Bachelors degree???
i guess so.......also you need that to get your foreign expert certificate...........TEFL is as important as a BA degree.........you must have them both
