hey, how much is it necessary to upload the Teaching license in my profile? As I am still teaching and my school issues the Teaching license once the teacher resign.
hoping to hear from you ! :)
Hi there Miss O,
Les here from New Zealand. I don't really know how helpful I can be regarding your teaching licence, but there will be no way that they'd look at a potential candidate without a valid teaching licence. In NZ the process is quite lengthy but a requirement, no if's or but's more about it has to be done. If I was a potential employer in education and saw/read an application from someone who didn't have a teaching certificate, I wouldn't consider short-listing them. It sounds that when you resign they then issues the licence must be from a country where teacher registration is generated from the school, this does not happen in NZ. We have a Education Council charged with that responsibility. I hope this at least helps to inform you that it makes more sense to upload your credentials.

Hey thank you so much les , unaza here from Pakistan , I have done my graduation in Engineering and been teaching since one year , Yes you got it right, in our country the license is being issued by a Private school organization in which the teacher is employed,
I was wondering If recruiters in Middle east have same criteria as that of NZ? If yes, then I must update my teaching license by asking my school authorities?
Thank you so much it was great help Let me know if you Can help out with my current questions! :)
Mōrena Miss O / Hi Unaza,
I went and had a look at my dashboard again soon after my last post. In the meanwhile I did remember that a similar question about teacher licences/registration coming up. It would be silly not to expect teacher licencing and registration. The licence/registration in NZ is a formal way of telling others that you went through a rigorous system of preparation for teaching. The paperwork or certificate that is produced is evidence of this preparation. NZ schools are loathe to accept any teacher thinking of wanting to come to NZ without registration as it is a requirement here. Registration is also a clear sign that your intent is to teach. Like many countries with multi-cultural and multi-lingual needs of the students, a candidate without registration will always be over-looked for someone who can prove/attest that they can do what they say they can.

Hi Less,
Its very kind of you to guide beginners in detail on this platform, I really appreciate that. I never stated that I am expecting recruiters to not require Teaching license, I had just confusion that I might take some time to upload my Teaching license so till then my application would be reviewed by Recruiters or not .
Moreover to my familiarity with teach away registration criteria that , teachers from Pakistan are not eligible to apply for Austria or NZ positions , which is why I have applied only for Middle East mostly.
As far as my query was concerned I will upload my license as early as possible . Thank you for your guidance
Much respect Les :)
regards Unaza
