If you have a Bachelor Degree (in any area) + a Cert IV in TESOL you will find a wider range of employment opportunities. For example, in Australia, the combination of a University Degree and our Cert IV in TESOL would be sufficient for teaching English at a National ELT (English Language Teaching) Accreditation Scheme (NEAS) accredited training centre.

**Note: The positions open to you will vary depending on:
> your existing qualifications and experience (if any)
> the level of English you want to teach (e.g. conversational English vs. academic level English)
> the country you want to teach in (different countries have different expected requirements)
These factors will affect the potential employment opportunities that may be available to you after you complete a TESOL Course. Because this can vary so much between individuals, different countries and institutions, we recommend that you research the requirements for whatever country, and particular employment opportunities that interest you - one of the best ways to do this is by performing a job search.
Some potential employment opportunities involving the delivery of accredited English Courses in Australia may only be possible where the graduate also holds additional qualifications, such as a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.
