Hello,I had an offer to teach at a university in China, but the visa authorities said that I needed an TESOL or an TEFL, furthermore a full-time job experience is required as well. I have no English certificate, and while i was preparing my Ph.D I had a part-time job in a Chinese company for more than 3 year with my X type, but the school said it won't help to mention about this experience. Is there anything I can do? tks in advance.Linna

It is suggested to contact that university to confirm whether they need those documents and contact your former company to provide you a certifcate of your part-time job. If your university needs your documents, but you cannot provide, there is no other methods to solve this problem.

You need to get a TEFL Certificate in China. Go to TEFL.Chinajob.com and take the course. Then you'll surely get the visa. It is a 7-day course offered by China SAFEA

Oh glad to read that Tom, had no clue about it, I heard that it takes around a month at least to get it..I will check the link u posted! many Thanks !
