Preferred rather than legally required in most cases. EU citizens have the simplest path to work; non-EU teachers usually need employer sponsorship or a freelance route, where a degree plus a 120-hour TESOL/TEFL certificate makes candidacy realistic.
A certificate is expected by most employers in Romania, and a 120-hour TESOL/TESL/TEFL certification measurably improves both starting salary and placement odds. Oxford Seminars graduates also get lifetime access to the Job Placement Service.
Typical start dates in Romania are: September or January. Applications typically run 1 - 4 months ahead of your start date. Private language schools also hire mid-term.
