Excerpted from the Belgium Career Guide
The internationalism of Belgium means
that there are many prospects for teachers coming from outside the
country. In particular, opportunities exist for language teachers
(especially English) and for teachers of all subjects at the many
private international schools.
Teachers of English as a Second
Language (ESL) can find positions at universities, public schools
and private institutions. There are also many private language
schools catering to the adult international community.
The market for English (and other
languages) teachers is very developed in Belgium—the jobseeker
cannot expect to walk in and find a job simply because he/she is a
native speaker. While teaching English as a foreign language is
often seen as a way to experience living in a foreign culture,
language teachers in Belgium are expected to have certification and
experience; however, certification can take as little as one month
to get. As many teachers are temporary expats, there is always
turnover of available positions.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
