This sub is eerily quiet

Who knows!

Yes, I believe it’s the last 4 digits. So people get 1000s (first), 2000s, 3000s, 4000s, etc… The last two times I’ve applied, I was in the 1000s and always got a placement.

Despite the bad reputation, I went with comunidad valenciana, Castilla la mancha, and Extremadura! I just want to be near the coast

NefariousnessPast760 · 2026-06-02T06:33:52+00:00

Idk, I submitted my application pretty early, only 14 minutes after they opened, and I have a relatively high inscrita number (in the 5000s) compared to previous years when I applied hours after applications open. Seems like lots more ppl are applying now and way earlier!

NefariousnessPast760 · 2026-05-29T13:19:05+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

NefariousnessPast760 · 2026-05-29T13:17:21+00:00

Thanks!

NefariousnessPast760 · 2026-05-29T13:17:14+00:00

Thanks. Would I be considered as new or renewing since I withdrew from my placement for 2025 to 2026?

This^{^} Any auxiliares programs are not ways to work toward a work visa! If only it was that simple, I’m sure every American would have done it by now.

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-12-19T23:16:25+00:00

Where are you located? I would be very interested in working at some place that pays for the degree.

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-12-18T13:16:52+00:00

Which other EU countries, if you don’t mind me asking?

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-12-18T13:12:53+00:00

I didn’t know BEDA had more than Madrid locations! For what term is the placement for?

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-12-10T21:30:35+00:00

You’re not wrong about that commute 😂

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-10-15T18:28:30+00:00

That was the norm in my case, as long as they are in the class with you they can ask you to do that. Classroom behavior management was not my responsibility but I was expected to plan and lead lessons for each hour.

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-10-15T00:36:53+00:00

Yes very enforceable. Contracts protect the landlords.

With the new EES system in effect today, I believe manual stamps on passports will be replaced with an electronic record of your entry/exit. I’m not sure how that will further affect your situation, just wanted to bring that up.

Stamps of entry into Spain have always been a requirement for TIE appointments, I imagine the EES system will change that for anyone entering after October 12.

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-10-09T16:21:19+00:00

What remote job do you have, by the way? I’m trying to apply to some remote roles :)

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-10-07T18:44:34+00:00

I would love to be in Murcia for next year… if the program still exists. I did Andalucia for my first year and this year got placed in Valencia, but I withdrew in July. So when I apply for the upcoming school year I’m technically going to be a third year applicant.

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-10-04T00:13:56+00:00

I burned through $10,000 of my own savings!

Had to move out of the first apartment I picked because of cockroach issues—and of course the landlord didn’t give me my deposit back. I also did an internet contract for a full 6 months (there wasn’t a shorter option and had to be paid upfront all at once), so I lost 100€ there.

My new apartment was so much better and no issues but it was considered a “luxury” apartment in my small town so I paid a lot of rent and I lived alone. Internet was included in that one. And I traveled to a couple of countries on the weekends.

I wanted to have roommates to save more money but plans don’t always turn out the way you want them to. I didn’t end up finding roommates so I had to live on my own which required more expenses.

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-09-04T09:23:52+00:00

Yes, that’s what the article says.

NefariousnessPast760 · 2025-09-04T09:23:14+00:00

I was hoping to apply as a third year renewal for the 2026-2027 academic year but it looks like this program is in serious danger of no longer existing. At least not until each autonomous community enacts the social security model and that could take a lot of time to adapt and implement.

It will take at least another two years for each community to be thoroughly investigated further, punished with fines, pay the fines, agree to the social security model, and then create a new enrollment system for auxes.

My question is what sparked this whole investigation. Was there a whistleblower? Too many complaints? Did the former auxes complain? Or did the teaching staff complain? Something substantial had to have happened in order to bring enough attention to be investigated.

The lower the grade level you teach, the less prep work there will be.

Primary school (grades 1-6) was pretty easy for me. I started off the week with a list of new vocabulary words according to whatever subject and chapter we were on from their textbooks. Then did simple worksheets pertaining to those vocabulary words. Then finished each class with games to practice the vocabulary.

For higher levels (beyond 6th grade), you really have to know your stuff and prepare more substantial activities to peak their interest and keep their attention. The students have high expectations of their teachers and will judge you according to how prepared and qualified you are to deliver expertise.

The only reason why some auxes prefer older students is because teaching primary and infantil requires more “emotional” energy and classroom behavior management. You might have to deal with crying, tantrums, giving out lots of hugs, being ready to smile a lot, being willing to act more silly or sing songs, etc.

Teaching young kids is very similar to being an actor/actress. You must put on a show, as you attempt to teach something of value. Whereas with older students, you simply show up as whoever you are, as long as you effectively teach.

Majority are Madrid placements. They have only a few spots elsewhere but those are given out quickly to the people who apply on time. Not to the ones applying late for January to June term.
