CERAN experience
To teach privately or publicly you will first need 8 years of Dutch or French, followed by a D course. That's what the government educational authorities told me.
Hello, No, you don't need any years of Dutch or French. Céran is purely private and their main aim is to employ native speakers who they train themselves. Not everyone survives the training. I believe they no longer employ people, using freelancers (as do most language schools). It can be a good experience, you learn a lot but most teachers suffer burnout 3-4 years in. There are a number of language schools looking for English teachers and some of them are a lot easier to work in. The advantage of being freelance is that you can decide more how much you want to work, though I don't know how flexible they have become. The intensity is killing and the 'week-long' formula (including working all public holidays) means that you need to be there the entire week. Some things are a little more flexible for teaching teenagers but I only have experience of the adults. I'm posting from experience as a teacher.
