Thank you.

@ Calipro
Thank you.

Thanks for your answers. And how about the second question:

If she needs to get a teaching certificate, could she teach Economics with a Math teaching certificate or does she need another one? Or would just a general teaching certificate be ok?

@Calipro

I'd like to ask the same thing as Higgsboson: Any suggestions for online certification options?

Thanks again!

Hello,

I would like to pose some questions on behalf of a friend. My friend has a B.A. in Mathematics and and M.A. in Economics. Has been teaching in a reputable IBDP school as an IB teacher for both subjects in her own country for 6 years. Yet, she doesn't have a teaching certificate. In her country, not having a teaching certificate but having a masters degree also makes her eligible for teaching. Now she wants to apply for IB schools worldwide.

The questions are;

1. Would her not having a teaching certificate decrease her marketability?
2. If she needs to get a teaching certificate, could she teach Economics with a Math teaching certificate or does she need another one?
3. Would the years she taught before getting the certificate be counted as part of her experience by international schools?

Thank you so much for your time!
