Teaching English police checks?

Hey hey
So I’m planning on moving to Taipei within a month to find a job teaching English. I’ve been reading however that recently the government have new regulations whereby new teachers need to have completed a police check in their home countries. . . Couldn’t really find any solid yes or no on whether this is true or not. . . Anyone know for sure whether I’ll need to get a check done?

Thanks !

yes, you should do it for sure. You need a certificate of good conduct certificate issued by the country of issuance of the foreign national’s passport, as is said in Article 9 of Supplementary Education Act. I’m assuming you are looking for a job at buxiban (cram school).

Ohhh man really ! Hoped it was just a scary rumour. Yes, buxiban was the plan. I’ve just graduated with little teaching experience and no TEFL or CELTA … So kind of doubting how easy it will be to find a job out there?

Hello, hi:

If you have a police background check and don’t care too much about which city to teach in, it should be fairly easy.

Don’t worry, old sport.

Whereabouts do you think itll be easier?
