I was wondering if there were other legally recognized (valid for work permit) positions available to foreigners at public schools besides being a teacher?

Nope. It's essentially just verifying that the diploma is from an accredited school, as far as I understand it. Why it takes so long is beyond my comprehension.

Thank you. I was originally told no more than 3 months. Then they 'lost' my paperwork. Looks like I will be waiting a bit more.

Has anyone had any experience receiving an equivalency certificate from OHEC for a diploma in Teacher Education? I sent out my application paperwork in June, with the assistance of a Thai colleague, and they are still processing the documents.

Here is the link for information on the exam and registration https://www.ksp.or.th/ksp2018/2022/11/40844/

This is interesting information. I have been told every possibility by multiple sources. The admin at the school where I am doing the diploma says that we will need to take an exam before applying for the teaching license. Some other teachers are telling me the same information that you are giving; I could apply with the letters of reference from school faculty. I also asked the Khurusapa if the exam was required and they did not answer the question directly, but instead sent several documents regarding the test in February 2021. So who is correct? No one knows. Welcome to Thailand. Once I receive this diploma, I guess I will attempt to apply directly and hope for the best. Besides, I don't know how they plan to have people sit an exam during a pandemic. Thanks for you input.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sure you are a wonderful real teacher that all of the students hold in high regard. I hope you don't teach English. Which requirements in my post are supposedly superseding the Khurusapa? The information I cited was from documents that I received in an email from the Secretariat Office of the Teacher's Council of Thailand. If you're going to be condescending, at least know what you're talking about.

Greetings, First, I would like to ask if anyone has gone through the new licensure exams that took place earlier this year in February? If so, what was your experience and impression of the exams? Second, is anyone familiar with the way that they treat major subject teaching on the exams? While reading the documentation, it mentions that teachers of subjects other than languages must take the major subject exam in Thai language. I can read basic/conversational Thai, but how could foreigners possibly be expected to take an examination in Information and Communication Technology in Thai? Third, are there any resources or materials that are available to assist in studying for these exams? I am currently taking an accredited diploma course in teacher education, but I am not confident that it has provided me with the essential knowledge that was outlined in the test blueprints. Finally, does anyone know when they might hold the next set of exams? The person with which I had contact was only able to inform me that the exam dates would be posted on the website. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
