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.
