To teach in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, you must demonstrate that you have teaching qualifications in the subject you wish to teach.

If you do not have the required qualifications, you can always register on the Primoweb database, which the directorates consult to recruit their staff, or contact the teaching networks and schools directly.

However, there are other ways of teaching in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Here are the possibilities:

• Valorisation of useful experience (VALEXU) : Valexu is an application designed to submit a request for the valorisation of experience acquired outside the educational field. Only paid work experience that is directly linked to the Technical Course (TC) or Professional Practice (PP) functions can be taken into account for valorisation.
• Profdemain/Profvolant projects allow you to study and teach at the same time. These projects offer you a part-time work contract in a school in the City of Brussels, while at the same time training for the teaching profession via the VAE.
• For jobseekers, there is financial support for studying to become a teacher.
• To teach a modern language: Anyone with a master’s or bachelor’s degree can obtain a title listed for language teaching if they obtain at least a certificate of successful completion of a level 9 teaching unit in the target language, in social promotion.

The Flemish Community also has a system for recruiting teachers on the basis of experience. For more information: click here.
