Hi Everyone!

I am quite newer in this blog site. I find this very interesting and a helpful tool of some of my query. I hope that this site would really help me best. I look forward to know some of your brilliant ideas, thoughts and facts guys regarding my search.
         
               Here is my story:

                   I am planning to live and work in Denmark Copenhagen in the near future. And i would like to continue my teaching profession out there. Recently, I am teaching English language in Junior High School Level and Elementary Level in an International School over a year here in the Philippines. Is it possible for a foreign teacher to teach in the land of Denmark? Or would i still need for an  additional education in Denmark before i could possibly work as a teacher.
                 I am deeply looking forward to your best replies.

God Bless and More power to all of you...:)

hey, engeli.

i am not a teacher, but i am sure you'd have to get some additional education to teach english here. i do believe it's possible for you to get a job, though the economy is still bad and you will have to learn danish... isn't there somewhere else you'd rather live? haha, just kidding. good luck. (:

hi Minakim!

        Thank you so much for taking time of replying my message. I assured you had helped me clearing some vague thoughts i had right now. You're saying that i must have some additional education before i could really practice my profession somewhere in Denmark. Do you mean am going to study in Denmark for the additional education or I could do it here in the Philippines instead?

Hi Engeli.

I think it is going to be very difficult for you to get a teaching job in DK, when you are not Danish speaking, and don’t have Danish qualifications.
Also I can see that English is not your first language, teaching English in Denmark without Danish qualification your English will have to be absolutely perfect!

Maybe you should search the internet for job possibilities to see if there are real job options for you.

Best of luck with everything, Regards Sarah
