It may not be a legal requirement, but among the better agencies you will be in competition with those who have not only college degrees, but teaching credentials. I would be suspect of any employer who did not seek those qualifications in their teachers. Some teachers in Korea and Japan have been severly criticized in the past for lack of such qualifications.
