In our experience, they take it into consideration when assigning the placements, but we can’t guarantee it.

Dear Mr./Mrs,
I am an English teacher from Albania, who finished Undergraduate studies in Belgrade, Serbia in language, literature and culture, including Spanish and English language. I have been teaching online and in person to children and teenagers for 3 years now. I also have a TEFL certificate. I saw that not all nationalities are selected for the program. Is it true? Or, can I also apply for job offer? Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
Elisa Hajkola
Hello, Elisa 🙂 As you may know, we collaborate with Regional Education Authorities in Spain. They are the ones to set the requirements, in the case of nationalities, these are based on specific agreements between different countries. You can check whether you meet these requirements on page 4 in our Program Information Dossier: https://www.conversaspain.com/documents/ConversaSpain24-25.pdf. Have a great day!
