If you get a Certificate of Proficiency on a language, are you qualified to teach in that language even if you don't
have a college degree?
*I moved this to the appropriate sub-forum, perhaps it will garner more of a response here. If the question has been resolved, it'll fall to the bottom anyway. Extralean.

Search in this section of the forum: Language Schools, Immersion & Certificates
I remember seeing a similar question asked there before.

It would probably depend on where you want to teach and what your other credentials are. Many schools and colleges and universities require their instructors to have degrees.

Which certificate do you have in mind? That might make it a bit easier for us to help you.

Specific job positions? No. Just getting a job in this field is fine with me.

If you are talking about TOPIK, I don't think it will give you any license to teach, although they might hire you if you get the top level, and they don't have enough people.
Still, teaching Korean is a very limited market, and they have lots of individuals who ARE qualified to teach Korean as foreign languges. I'm really not sure about this field, so you might want to check with some other people.
