teaching abroad

[sophie_1003]

I'm currently studying for a BA (QTS) Early Years Education degree; if in the future I wanted to teach in other countries, maybe America or New Zealand, what training or courses would I be required to do to be a qualified teacher in these countries?

I don't know about qualifications, but do you know how difficult it is to get a visa for the US? Have a look at this website

oh right I didn't realise that! I'm not planning anyhting just yet, just wondering about the future really, me and my boyfriend have talked about moving to another country and he was quite keen on the states, knew that they were quite strict didn't realise how strict they were though!

This is the New Zealand requirements:

A qualification in Early Childhood Education (ages 0-5) at a minimum of Level 7, which is approved by the New Zealand Teachers Council AND NZ registration


Hope this helps

ta, but whats level 7? is that a normal degree?

[mosesg]

I think a BA is a level 9 and an HND is a level 8
