QUALIFICATIONS FOR VOLUNTARY TEACHING OVERSEAS
"I am 46 and am at the moment working on an MA in Women's History at Royal Holloway University of London. My BA is also in
History. What I am looking for is information on how I go about getting the necessary qualifications which will enable me to work as a volunteer abroad. I have no idea where, I suspect that will depend on where I can be of use. I have been advised that I would need to do a teaching course. How long do they normally last."
