Options for teacher training if i fail my degree?

Question

I'm doing a 1 year top up degree (bsc)in electronics what options do i have to become a teacher if i fail it (I am coming from a HND in electronic engineering)

Answer 1

Your best bet would be to enrol in a TEFL course - Teaching English as a Foreign Language. With this certificate and your background in Electronic Engineering, you would be able to pick and choose any non-English speaking country in the world to practise your teaching. If you then decide to join the VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas), they look after all your travel arrangements BUT they also choose where to send you. So you can either do that or remain independent. It's up to you.

Believe me, it's great fun, and you get to see something of the world and other cultures.  

Answer 2

You can pursue a course in education. Take up the professional education units so you could teach practical arts or home living education for elementary kids.

I hope this helps you.
