If you really have a ba and a teaching cert, quit looking at jobs under 20k with no accommodation haha. End of discussion.

Wow, what a helpful board this is! Just answer the guy's OP and stop the bullying.

A 19 000 package is perfectly OK. You won't live like a king, but it's more than enough to live on in GZ, and save a bit - unless you hang out in those horrid western bars there.

I don't want to go on but there is an equivalency organisation called NARIC in the UK which recognises qualifications from all over the world, probably including diplomas, as equivalent to UK qualifications and degrees. I think you have the same in the US. So, I think that a graduate diploma + a PGCE in music teaching would transfer in the USA as an equivalent to a music teacher there. So I don't know why someone one here keeps trying to get me reported to the MODS since it's them who keep hijacking my posts and repeating that I can only get a job in Europe and Latin America when it has ALREADY been stated a number of times that a SAUDI employer has accepted my graduate diploma as equivalent to a degree (the manager of this organisation is from the UK so he recognises the equivalency as stated in the transcript) and the Saudi embassy say that it depends on the EMPLOYER whether you can get a work visa or not, not the embassy, and I found this out by travelling to the embassy in person to ask them. I also have an email from the Korean embassy stating that if I find an employer who takes on my qualifications then they can give me an E2 visa AND I've found employers willing. Ive already worked on my qualifications in Japan 25 years ago twice.

So it's not just Europe and Latin America (where the pay is peanuts), that will recognise me as having a degree equivalent. I don't have a BA, and I bet you can get equivalency in the usa for a 4 year graduate diploma. They would have to recognise the equivalency to a degree surely because it's recognised by the Uk department for education and science as so.

So stop hijacking my threads about this tedious subject. You don't work in the equivalency organisation for America or Australia so you're just guessing, By the way, one teacher said that he was put on the MASTERS grade for having a PGCE at one American school (can't remember if it was in the USA or another country), because his university wrote and said it was equivalent to a Masters degree. So he got paid on the Masters degree pau scale as stated here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Qualifications_Framework

I bet t hat;s what the USA use for equivalent UK qualifications and as stated before, it states clearly under level 6 that a graduate diploma I the same as a bachelors degree.

Tedious thread or what! Sorry to other posters that someone keeps pretending he or she KNOWS everything about equivalent qualifications outside Europe and latin America.

Yes 19000RMB should be ok then I suppose, But now I think I DO have a problem in china maybe as information received from recruiters ther say they are not sure if immigration will pass my diploma there. Yes, this is one country who may not pass it. Thank you for listening again to a tedious discussion about equivalent quals.

I got sucked in...haha, nothing makes sense.

I'm not from Euro so don't know much about the pgce but presume a 3-4 year BA is the pre requisite?

I have had to apply for States, Canada and NZ teaching certs before and they require all under grad transcripts with course hours, points, descriptions etc. I can't imagine pgce taking anyone into the course...

But good luck trying...I would anyways and hope your diploma goes un noticed or is misinterpreted throughout the authentication step.

Actually in the UK if you're a guy and not a history or PE teacher you can get in with any 2:2 degree [I guess like 3.0 GPA].

The UK is desperate for male teachers so they almost always get offered a place.
