First things first - to work as a TEFL teacher in Malta you need to get a teaching permit from the Education department here in Floriana. The requirements for this are simple enough:
- Recognised TEFL certificate (minimum 60 hour course)
- A-level qualifications (or equivalent such as Leaving Certificate from Ireland)
- Police Conduct certificate
- Passport
- Birth certificate
That's all you need. But if you don't get the teaching permit you won't get a job, not for more than a few weeks certainly. Once you have this (and it shouldn't take too long to sort out the provisional cert) then you can hit the streets with your C.V. and try to find a school to take you on. From May to September is the busy period here and work is not hard to find if you have any kind of experience. You will not be able to buy a yacht with your earnings, but it will finance your stay in the sun.

Hi David--very nice blog. I LOVE the photo on the home page and design. Thanks for visiting my blog and I wish you the very best in the SUN--Ilene Springer
I currently live in Germany and am planning to come to Malta but have had difficulty finding sites that advertise free classifieds for property rentals. ( basically seeking a room or share ) The Times of Malta has a webpage but it fails to provide information to write the people about the listing, making it a costly idea to just call everyone all the time and then have to constantly explain I still live in Frankfurt at the moment. Please let me know if you can offer any suggestions. Thanks and my address is PlanetNato@YourTeacher.Net.
Hi Jason,
I don't know about free listings, so maybe someone else can help you out on that score.
What I can tell you is that we came over here without accommodation, booked into a cheap hotel for a week and went around the various estate agents looking for places. We were shown a lot of places, and settled for one in St Julian's paying a little more than we should have, since it's one of the most popular spots and we arrived in June. This time of year is perfect: you will find a place no problem at off-season rates, and if you can sign up for a six month lease (or more) the price will be reduced still further. If you are looking for cheaper options, I would suggest Swieqi or Gzira (but probably Swieqi) as both adjoin the popular hub (for foreigners) of St Julians/Sliema but are quite a bit less expensive.
Any more info you need, drop us a line!
Thanks for the information and hope to find something just the same as you.
First - fantastic blog, you have exactly the info I need. I'm relocating my family to Malta in March 2013 so your insight is valuable - thanks!
Just an update for you - the new link for the Education Department page you are pointing to is: https://www.education.gov.mt/Page.aspx?pid=200&depid=13&pageid=0
Keep up the great blog!
Thanks for the compliment as well as the link...
