Teaching English in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Dubai

The UAE is one of the most sought-after locations for ESL teachers with a TEFL certificate in the world due to its reputation as a global hub of trade and commerce with first-rate infrastructure, dining, and shopping options. ESL Teachers are drawn to the field not only for the amazing lifestyle and travel opportunities, but also for the excellent pay that allows them to save at least $1,500 per month, and in some cases much more, and also enjoy perks like free travel, housing, paid time off, and health insurance.

Even those who have accredited TEFL certification in UAE, the job market is extremely competitive for them as well due to the country's small size whose population is just under 10 million and popularity as a destination for foreign teachers.  It might be challenging for new TEFL teachers to get hired here because the majority of positions are reserved for seasoned educators with advanced ESL teaching courses in UAE. Candidates with average credentials consider to think about applying for jobs in lesser-known emirates like Sharjah.

Most English teachers are employed by private language schools, international schools, or adult-focused language programs. Expect to work an additional 10 to 12 hours per week on lesson planning and grading on top of your typical teaching schedule of 20 to 25 hours per week.  Teachers have plenty of opportunities to take advantage of travel opportunities throughout the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and India thanks to frequent holidays and, in most cases, paid time off in the summer.

You'll need a 4-year college degree in any field, and an accredited TEFL certification in UAE in order to teach English in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). To find a TEFL job, native English proficiency is required. In the UAE, an TEFL teacher can expect to make between $1,800 and $5,000 per month on average.

So, start to enhance your CV with TEFL certification in UAE and start your TEFL teaching journey and live luxurious life in UAE.

Asian College of Teachers (ACT) undertakes a continuous review of its teacher training courses to ensure imparting high quality education. However, there might be circumstances outside of ACT’s control which might affect its stakeholders like if you are planning to teach in a different country, applying for a teaching license, pursuing higher studies or trying to get the certificate approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE) of a particular country then you can do so with the certificate issued by Asian College of Teachers (ACT). However, each country’s Ministry of Education (MoE) or educational bodies set certain standards that are indispensable for the pursuit of higher studies or teaching in schools in that country. So it can be a possibility that you may be able to use the certificate for higher studies or teaching purposes in one country and not in another. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you investigate thoroughly and check with the relevant authorities regarding the acceptance of the certificate issued by us before you enrol on a particular course. ACT strives to offer high-quality education and its certificates can be valuable for various purposes internationally, but still it is crucial for individuals to verify the specific recognition of the certificate in the country they intend to use it, especially for formal education or professional licensing purposes. This approach ensures that the stakeholders make informed decisions regarding their educational and career paths.
