Forums > Study > Teaching English in Taiwan

I just checked and Hess requires either a bachelors degree or an associates degree plus TESOL/TEFL certificate. So if she has an associates degree (I would need to check exactly what that is I suspect it's two years) perhaps she could do the certificate. www.hess.com.tw/en/careers/requirements.html
Not necessarily recommending Hess I've heard both good and bad things about them, but their requirements probably give a good indication of what's necessary to get the working visa in Taiwan.

I thought they will hire people with a university degree in any subject, pretty sure Hess (one of the big chain schools) will because I looked into it several times and I only have a bachelors degree.

Not sure about the diploma though, I think it may be something like a two year diploma plus a TESL certificate.

If they are 30 or under Taiwan has working holiday visa arrangements with some countries also.

I have to use a VPN to access Australian university websites, if they succeed in blocking them completely it's going to be very annoying, since even our tests are online. If I happen to still be here and trying to study online I may have to leave. I also have a friend running a Yunnan tourism business who needs to use google to advertise to foreigners overseas so not sure what they will do, I think there must be

a lot of Chinese companies like that. Oh well will wait and see, I imagine my Chinese will improve if they block more foreign websites.

If anyone else is trying to buy stuff on RS, it saves a lot of time that there is an English translation in the bottom left corner when you hover over each link (since the page URL is in English). Much faster than trying to read 'passive components' in Chinese :D.

Apart from that I found the Mouser store easier to navigate but they seem to have a minimum order price, perhaps Y150 I've forgotten.

This is interesting, in New Zealand we have a lot of wooden houses, at least partly because of earthquakes where they are more flexible. However in Australia where there are more fires brick is more common. Though probably also due to available materials and cost.
