I am not english native but I want to teach english in the future. Do you know what certificate would I need to be considered by schools, or private people as a reliable teacher? I can actually do whatever it takes to teach english. I want to leave my country and to earn good money in Spain to make this happen I would like to teach english. I think that there is a profound need for this skill right there.
Any suggestions or comments from those who teach or those who live in spain will be highly appreciate.
I guess that now I am around B2. The challenge will take some time but I am gonna make it. If someone has any experience tell me how it was in your case.
Thank you very much for the website. I need to check out carefully those cerficates because it takes some money to make any of them and I would not like to fail achieving a meaningless one.
I taught English abroad with dozens of non-native instructors. Most of these colleagues had a degree in linguistics and a CELTA certificate. Now, this was in language schools; if you're inquiring about teaching English in public schools then that is a different beast.
Good luck.

This is exactly right. Another option is to get a bachelor's degree in the US (linguistics) with a TESL/TESOL certificate or MA TESOL. Many of my Asian classmates (Korea, Japan) did this. If you are a non-native speaker, countries generally require at least a bachelors and certificate. If you are a native English speaker, they generally just want you to be breathing and have a bachelors, if that. Especially China.
