What do I need to teach English abroad?

Hi
I'm 18 from London. (Sorry I don't know if this is an American website so if things are a bit different) I'm leaving school in June and taking a gap year before going to uni to do French and Spanish. I'm looking for work in France and Spain in my year out and was wondering if teaching english was a feasible option I took a weekend tefl course for example. I've been bombarded by so many courses on the internet when I've searched and heard so many different things. Some people say if can speak english and have any tefl you'll easily find a job, others say you need a degree, others say you need experience to get a job. I was hoping you could clarify things for me please. I already speak quite good French and Spanish and am only looking for something to help pay my way.
Thanks in advance.
