Degree holders with a practical ELT qualification for language centres; professionally qualified teachers for international schools.
Source-led route overview checked 2026-11-08; a recruitment page is not confirmation of a suitable open vacancy.
- Who should explore it
- The Australian Centre for Education (ACE) publishes an undergraduate-degree requirement and a recognised ESL/EFL teaching qualification for its non-Cambodian academic staff. Its general careers page specifies substantial classroom instruction and observed teaching practice, and excludes qualifications that do not meet those requirements. The International School of Phnom Penh expects valid teaching certification in the relevant teaching area; IB experience is preferred. These are employer requirements, not a single national rule for every teaching job.
- Pay evidence
- Use the written offer rather than a national salary estimate. ACE's recruitment material describes visa/work-permit support and insurance benefits, but these must be confirmed for the offered contract. Ask whether preparation, marking and cancelled lessons are paid, and price housing near the actual campus before estimating savings.
- Working pattern
- Confirm classroom hours, preparation, meetings, cover and paid holidays in the written offer; no national working-week estimate is established here.
- Length of placement
- Employer-specific; confirm start date, probation, renewal and notice before accepting.
- Work permission
- The Cambodian government's labour-law guidance states that foreigners need a work permit and employment card issued by the labour authority, as well as lawful entry and valid residence permission. Ask the school to identify its foreign-worker authorisation and the exact visa, residence and work-permit steps before teaching begins. A visitor entry arrangement is not evidence of employment permission.
- Support and benefits
- Confirm housing, flights, relocation support and medical cover in writing. These are not assumed to be included.

Documents, healthcare and remaining checks
- Professional recognition
- Match the employer’s stated criteria to your exact qualifications. Confirm any local registration or recognition separately; a UK credential does not itself grant immigration permission.
- Documents
- Confirm the authority’s current checklist and the employer’s safeguarding requirements; do not send originals or pay a recruiter until its identity and process are verified.
- Healthcare
- Obtain written evidence of cover, exclusions, emergency arrangements and any separate cover required for dependants.
- Initial costs
- Price document authentication, permit charges, travel, accommodation deposits and an arrival reserve for the actual location.
- First payment
- Not established by this overview. Confirm the first payroll date and which costs you must fund before reimbursement.
Evidence scope: primary sources with individual checks remaining. This label does not confirm that a vacancy is open or that you meet every condition. Snapshot: 8 November 2026.
