U.S. education/International License.
There is a chance my military husband will be stationed overseas later this year. By that time I will be a licensed professional counselor. Has anyone ever had to transfer a license and/or get re-licensed in another country? In ANY profession? I'm just beginning to wonder if I should even bother trying or do I just concede to the idea of not working as a counselor for that period of time. Thoughts?
Re: U.S. education/International License.
Spain is a difficult place to get degrees recognized. It took me six months to get them to officially recognize that I have a bachelor's degree. If I wanted them to recognize that I have a bachelors degree with x-major I would've had to wait approximately a year and I'm certain they would've made me go back to university to take a few courses to make my degree the same as a degree here would be. I stubbornly refused to do that, and decided to just be: "Elenetxu, with a bachelor's level education."
Oh, Spain.
I think it will probably depend on the country you are moving to.
I am teaching here in Australia after going to college and getting certified in the US. I taught for 5yrs before moving here. I started researching what I needed to do before I moved here and it wasn't too hard. I looked up the information for teaching in the public schools and the catholic schools and found out what I needed to submit (transcripts,certifications, proof of employment,etc).
It wasn't difficult for me and didn't take too long but each country will be different and each profession/licence will be different.
Great choice!
It's one of my favorites.
