Anyone from Teach Now in Hong Kong
Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2020 9:03 am
Hello all,
Has anyone been successfully hired in HK with the DC license the acquired after Teach Now? Anyone who might have been following my posts (so boring I know, but quarantine does crazy things to people) might know that my husband is turning to teaching (French language) using this cert. path. I have quite a bit of experience, so we are trying to chart a path ahead together.
This week I have an interview with my dream school in HK. One of those career changing, once in a lifetime schools. Should this work out, we want to at least know that we can try to get him a teaching placement and that he can apply for jobs in HK. A quick search on the TN cohorts forum shows that some people have faced problems with this, in order to get something called QTS. All my friends in international schools in HK have never heard of QTS - maybe that's just because the school did all the paperwork for them?
Would anything be made easier by the fact that my spouse would be on a dependent visa? A quick search seems to show that dependents in HK are able to work, although perhaps HK makes it so there would be a block on them being hired in a school...
Grateful for any information
