I don't personally, but I recommend joining the "Auxiliares de Conversacion" Facebook groups and asking there! There are usually really helpful alumni.
I noticed that in Andalucia you can not renew your contract for a second year. However, in other regions, how many years can you renew your contract? Also, does the renewal of the contract depend on the need, the desire of the school to retain you, or your desire to remain at that particular school?
Typically you can renew for a second year in the same region if you stay at your same school. You need to have a positive assessment from your school and obviously you need to want to stay there as well.
I was wondering how you read your application number? I’ve heard they’re on the 300s but I honestly have no idea what that means when looking at my app number.
It used to be very much "first come, first served" where you wanted to have the lowest possible number, but in the past few years people with vastly different application numbers were admitted at the same time, so I'm not sure how it's organized now.
Hi, Jamie. I saw a Tiktok video posted by a fellow Filipino. A comment said that the poster applied to NALCAP. Does this mean I am eligible to apply to the program? Thank you for the response. 😊
How can you absolutely pick Galicia? In that instance, would you recommend any job boards where a person can simply apply to schools in Galicia without going through any of the programs
@@LostCause-m3t If you don't have EU working rights, it's not really possible to just apply to schools. Instead, you can get a student visa with working rights and then apply directly to schools in the city where you want to teach. Otherwise, the best option is to go with programs that place in Galicia and request it if you are non-EU.
I'm an American living in the UK (I've been here for 3.5 years now) Due to visa changes I sadly won't be abllel to stay as I had planned/hoped. Looking into NALCAP to at least stay in Europe! I am wondering if it is possible to visit the Spanish consulate here? I called them and they did say it was okay but just wanted a second opinion as it would be quite expensive for me to have to fly to the US just to apply when there's a Spanish consulate in the city I live in here.
Yes I believe you can process your visa there. You will still need docs from the US like your degree, etc and to get them stamped. I had my mom help me with this because I was in Egypt when I applied for a Spanish visa.
@@ESLTeacher365 What 'stamping' needs to be done with the degree? I have my official transcripts that has a letterhead note from my school speaking to the authetication of the documents....will this work?
I'm not sure how you would support a family on just 800-1000 euros per month. I believe you can bring dependents on your student visa, but logistically it would be challenging.
I will not have a car, so I would hope they take that into consideration for their own benefit. If I am an hour away taking a bus, odds are I will be late.

Love your content, just started researching.
Thank you so much
Thanks for this. Which program did you choose when you ended up working 16 hours a week in Madrid?
NALCAP in Madrid is 16 hours.
Thank you for the video. I submitted my application. Is it possible to go back into your application and make changes after it's been submitted?
No, it isn't. Your only option is to delete and create a new one - but the application date has already passed.
Teaching in the Canary island sounds wonderful. Do you know of anyone who worked there? I would love to speak to them.

If may I know if there are other companies in Spain that recruit Non- Native English Speakers. Thank you
BEDA will accept teachers that are from non-native speaking countries if you are fluent in English.

Yes, Auxiliares de Conversacion is the program for Filipinos.
@@ESLTeacher365 Thanks a lot :)

@@ESLTeacher365 Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this query of mine :)!! I apperciate it and the information you shared in this video!
I'm working on my TESOL degree, there are three courses left to complete the entire TESOL and get the final certificate. So I can't apply at present 😔
You don't need a TESOL to apply to NALCAP, but you do need a passport from the US or Canada and to be enrolled in a degree program.
If I'm a first year college student would that count as being enrolled in a degree program?@@ESLTeacher365
Can you teach in this program if you have children?
I'm not sure how you would support a family on just 800-1000 euros per month. I believe you can bring dependents on your student visa, but logistically it would be challenging.
I have 120 hour TESOL/TEFL Academy. I would like to know how to apply this job in Spain?
For this program the only requirements are a degree and passport from the US or Canada. Do you have this?
@@ESLTeacher365 I don't have it. Thank you
@@alainjaotombo3568 Then unfortunately you'll need to teach in Spain through a different program or visa.
@@ESLTeacher365thank you
I'm from Algeria, Can I participate in this program?
No, NALCAP is for Americans and Canadians.
I will not have a car, so I would hope they take that into consideration for their own benefit. If I am an hour away taking a bus, odds are I will be late.
Unfortunately that’s pretty normal. My commute was by bus and two metro lines and took about an hour in Madrid.
