Hi,
I am looking to apply for teaching jobs in Abu Dhabi specifically. I have a Master Degree in Science and a B.Ed and have been working as TGT with a Central Govt. Education Institute in India since last 10 years. I am not sure if this qualifies me enough to look for an overseas teaching job and does this entitles me to be a "Certified Teacher" for countries like UAE/Kuwait etc..?
DO I need to get any kind of further certification from any institute to get selected? or I need to get "Valid Teaching License" ??

Please advise !
Regards
Naveen

    Hello Naveen:

    Welcome to the forum!

    In terms of UAE-specific positions, the general requirements across the board include (this might change over time):

    1. A Bachelor's degree, at minimum
    2. A current teaching license from your local government, or A TESL/TEFL certification, relevant to whatever subject you wish to teach (for example, if you wanted to teach math, you will need a teaching license in math; a TESL or TEFL is not a teaching license)
    3. Two years of relevant teaching experience at the required teaching level (for example, if you were applying to teach high school level English, then you would need to have had at least two years of teaching high school English; elementary or middle school level would not be accepted)

    We encourage you to apply to the positions you are interested in, keep an open mind and pay close attention to the minimum requirements listed on the posting. For all positions available visit here: https://www.teachaway.com/teaching-public-schools-abu-dhabi

    Best,
