Teaching Certificate Portability

[mindweave]

This is a simple question, and the answer may be hidden somwhere in the archives, but I just need to know quickly. I recently received my Thai Ministry of Education teaching certificate. If I change jobs, is it mine (based on MY experience and qualifications)? Can I take it with me when I change jobs? Or, legally, does it belong to the school that put in all the paperwork to help me get it? If that is so, do I have to go through the whole process again from another school, to get another one? (I am hoping not....that sounds absurd.) If you have ANY experience with this, please let me know. Thanks!!! I am clueless about this matter.

Not heard of a MoE teaching certificate before. Do you mean Teacher Licence?

Or, do you mean the cultural "license" that some people got this past year?

The teachers license comes with a part for you to keep and a part for the school. That's the good news.

The bad news is you'll have to reapply at every school, even if within the same province MOE area.

Thanks. That is very helpful, although kind of a drag.... I appreciate your answering my question.
