It depends on what you want to teach and where.  If you are a professor or a university lecturer, technical or vocational school instructor, or college instructor, the rules are much different, and you could quite likely teach in Canada.  Each university or school has its own criteria, depending on their needs, curricula, etc., and you would have to check them out individually.\n\nHowever, if you want to teach in elementary or high school in Canada, it is quite differnt.  You need to have your UK qualifications evaluated to determine where you would fit in Canadian certification.  This is different for each province, so you would need to submit your transcripts, UK teaching credentials, certificate of good conduct from your police, and possibly other documents to the specific Department or Ministry of Education of the province or territory you are interested in.  Most provinces in Canada now require two degrees to teach in elementary and secondary schools - an undergraduate degree in some "teachable" subject area (math, English, French, music, history, etc.) plus a teaching degree.  I have friends with UK credentials who did not have university degrees and they had difficulty getting certification to teach in Canada.\n\nWhile teachers in Canada are certified by provincial Minsitries or Departemtns of Education, they are hired by individual school boards and school districts.  Each  province and trerritory has several different boards or districts.\n\nIf you are willing to go to an area of Canada where there are teacher shortages, especially in some specific subject areas (mostly French, special education, math, technology) there may be special allowances.  These areas are mostly isolated rural areas.\n\nIf you have any specialist teaching certificate, such as additional qualifications in guidance, counseling, assessment, music, physical education, technology, special education, French, educational psychology, speech langauge pathology, administration, it will be much easier for you to gert a job.  There are always vacancies in those areas.\n\nThere is a procedure that must be followed in most provinces before hiring teachers internationally.  The school district must show they have exhausted the possibilities of hiring locally, provincially, and nationally.  However, if you are a landed immigrant the rules are pretty much the same for you as for Canadians.\n\nGo to the wesite http://www.educationcanada.com/ and you will see what teaching positions are currently advertised in Canada.  This includes only those positions employers choose to list on this website of course.  But it will also give you information about school districts, contact names and e-mail addrsses, etc.  At any given time many other teaching positions are being advertised in local papers.\n\nAlso do an Internet search to get to the websites of each provincial government and go to their ministries or departments of education.  Most of them list criteria for teacher certification and will give you contact names and numbers. Additionally, do a search for each provincial teacher association/union and you will probably see the current collective agreements, salary scales, etc.\n\nGood luck with it.  There are lots of opportunities in Canada.  Teachers are paid much better in Canada than in the US for example.  YOu will probably just have to do a bit of legwork and research to see where you could fit in the Canadian system.

I've taught in three Canadian provinces and loved all three.  Canada's educational system is very progressive and is at times experiencing some growing pains. No matter where you teach, though, you'll find very, very dedicated, hard-working teachers who will do all they can to make a new member of the staff feel welcome. I think that where you teach depends on your needs and preferences: big city? rural setting? arctic temperatures in winter?  coastal climate?  You'll find what you want, I'm sure.

Most teachers these days have university training. If you get a lesser qualification you will not off the bottom rung of the teaching career ladder. In its early days, the Open University made a fortune out of non-graduate teachers wanting a degree to get promotion. Also, it is highly unlikely you will qualify as a teacher without doing full-time study on the way.\n\nIf you are already working, you could look at doing a university degree part-time. If you are in London you could apply to Birkbeck College, or (anywhere) you could enrol with the Open University. Be warned this takes a long time and is hard work.\n\nUni these days is no promise of a good job, but you need to go to Uni to get most decent jobs. If it were not so the Government would not have 18 year olds over a barrel with student loans!

Answering this question from Canada.\n\nHere, all you need is a letter of standing in the school district you wish to substitute in.  To get one, you must pass a criminal check and (presumably) have some level of academic training.  There is supposed to be a "pecking order" so that the most trained substitutes get called for work first.  My academic training entitles me to a class 5 teaching licence in my province.  Maybe an associates degree entitles you to a teaching licence where you live?\n\nMy advice would be to get a criminal check done, see your school district superintendant and ask what qualifications you need to subtitute.  If an associates degree is enough, present him with the criminal check and ask to be on the substitute list.\n\nAssuming you get on the list, then see the principals in the schools you wish to work in.  Let them know when you are available and what subjects you prefer to teach.  Some principals will just want a warm body in front of the kids, others will prefer someone who actually knows something.\n\nGood luck.  Hope this helps.

I took what was then called the COTE (Certificate for Overseas Teachers of English) which is very similar to what you wish to take.  I would highly recommend any Teacher Training course that Cambridge University has to offer.  They are experts in the field and it shows.  These types of courses are very practical.  You will be able to apply everything you have learned immediately.   I hope this helps.

yes. If you have a 4 year degree you can take what's called the "fast track" program which is a two year program where they teach you about teaching and then you need to be certified.  If I get certified in New York, I believe I still need to be certified in New Jersey, but I don't believe you need a masters degree to teach in NJ like you do in NY.

in Canada, to work as a psychologist, you generally need a Masters degree, which it sounds like you are getting.  you would likely have a good chance of getting a position as a school counsellor with that.  to become a teacher, another program, called PDP at some institutions, is required, however.

It really varies quite a bit, depending on your current level of education, where you want to teach, and what you want to teach.  Some speciality areas require a masters.  Total time can range from 4 years (probably minimum) to 7 years.  If you want to teach ESL in Korea or Japan there are situations where you can get a job with just a BA, but most teaching jobs require more.  YOu may be able to get a job teachign in some countries such as China or the Czech Republic without a degree.  In Canada and the US you probably need at least two degrees for most situations - an arts or science degree (B.A. or B.Sc.) and a teaching degree (B.ED. or M.Ed.)

given that your background, while similar, does not qualify you for US?canadian accounting, depending on your exact experience, whether individual or Corporate, I would suggest that you look for positions with British co's in US/Canada or with local firms that do work for British firms and expatriots.

I don't don't if you have courses where you are, but in the UK you can take correspondences courses.

I'm Canadian, but our system is somewhat similar to the US.  I'll answer from a Canadian perspective and also tell you what I understand of the US system.  Perhaps someone from the US can correct me or add to it.\n\nWe don't have GCSE exams as such, in Canada, but there can be college and university entrance exams.  There are also national tests done at various levels, but in Canada they don't necessarily affect your future, nor are they necessarily required.  Some provinces do criterion referenced tests at various levels, more for programming purposes than for individual assessment.  Alberta does have some required standardized tests that are required, I believe.  In the US there are exams called SAT's I think that can affect your future as you have to do well on them to get into college or university.\n\nIn Canada at the end of high school, or sometimes throughout high school, there are provincial exams in various subject areas, especially those pertinent to further education.  YOu have to do well on those to get  accepted at a university for example.\n\nBoth countries also have scholarship exams.  \n\nI hope this is not totally confusing and is of some help!!
