Degree level diploma

Featured Replies

I’m looking at taking a diploma for my job in England. On the website it says it’s degree level . 
 

Just out of interest would this be enough to get a work permit in Thailand ?

That would all depend on what job you are thinking of doing

Think you are mixing things up slightly. You cant get many Jobs in teaching without a degree.

If you have the job, then the school will generally arrange the work permit.

For K1-M6 schools, yes you would need a degree to get both a work permit and a teaching waiver (assuming you don't have a BEd)

Meaning many schools (not all) will not accept people for Teaching positions without one.

I had a teachers job without a degree ..

 

I was a long time trusted employee and the school and the agency I was working for helped me ( actually it was at a time when the government changed the rules so that the employer would be fined and not the employee )

 

Yeah, the WP was easy enough, I just presented all my education certificates, I was legally teaching (not a teaching assistant / librarian / foreign admin as some suggest, my WP was for a teacher ) the school were aware I was non-degree and it was fine. However, this doesn't give you any leverage with getting a teachers permit or waiver, which you need to get an 12 month extension of stay. Without your own non-O either ME or 12M you stand no chance with immigration unless your school / employer is well connected.

 

Anyway, Off topic - If the OP has any kind of degree, it will get him teaching in Thailand, however he will need a teachers permit or waiver, without an Ed degree it will be a lot of further hard work after the waiver period has finished - not really worth the effort, financially to do this and then work in a government school. IMHO
