Visa Requirements

As a foreigner, you will need to have permanent residence status in order to be eligible to work for Berlitz. Please be sure that you have obtained this status before applying, as Berlitz Venezuela does not sponsor instructors. For further information about obtaining permanent residence status, please contact your local Venezuelan consulate.

Hiring Procedure

Once we have received your application, with a cover letter and verification that you have permanent residence status, we will contact you regarding a test and interviews. You will be scheduled for two interviews, one with the Language Center Director and the other with the Local Instructional Supervisor. After successful completion of the interview process, you will be invited to attend the Berlitz Instructor Training. This will also be held at one of our language centers.

Teaching Contracts

Berlitz Venezuela offers full-time contracts to new instructors for a minimum of a one year's commitment. You receive the following benefits:

• Medical insurance
• 15 days of paid vacation
• Christmas bonus equal to two month's wages
• Severance pay
• Social security

You are eligible for these benefits once you are on the payroll. As the Venezuelan government stipulates the amount of foreign instructors that can be on the payroll at any given time (10% of total staff), it may take anywhere from 6 months to a year for you to be included. To compensate for this, Berlitz Venezuela will pay you a higher lesson rate (10%more) until you are on the official payroll.

Taxes and Pension Plans

If you are on the payroll at Berlitz Venezuela, you will be subject to income tax.

Getting Started

Our experience has shown that you will initially need to bring about $2,000 with you to budget for acquiring an apartment or similar accommodation, day-to-day living expenses and miscellaneous expenses that can be incurred until your first pay period.
