I don't know, I suppose it depends on your country. I've been told French institutions only take people with a Master (5 years of uni) in French as Foreign Language, and then you might also need EXPERIENCE, of course.
I think it depends on where you want to work too. If I wanted to teach English to non-native speakers in the US (where I'm from. Um, probably similar guidelines for the UK and NZ and Australia too, now that I think of it...) it does take more education, usually because those jobs are in the public school system. What I'm certified for is more aimed at going to and living in countries where English is not the country's main language. Usually one would teach classes for a company, sometimes at a building they own or at the site of who ever is paying for the lessons. A lot of large businesses hire teachers to come and teach lessons at their offices....
I bet you are really good at giving lessons! Good luck in your job hunt! Everyone gets shy and awkward when job hunting (admittedly, some cover this up better than others. I've never learned their secrets to that though), but I'm sure you will do well anyway!
