Substitute License

My partner has a substitute teaching license. We are looking at applying for the 17-18 school year to various places, preference being SE Asia. We were looking at several places in Indonesia and I know one of the requirements is an active license in home country. Would a substitute license suffice?
Thanks!

Re: Response

In response to PsyGuy...
My husband teachers art to ages 3 and up, mostly with 12 and up (his preferred age range).
I really don't have a feel for how leadership works in the IT world, so I know that's an option, but leadership is...kind of soul sucking, at least in my current context, so I know I'm happier and more effective as a classroom teacher, but a lead teaching position would certainly be more appealing.
Thanks for the response!

We haven't signed up with an agency because I didn't know if it would be worth it. I do have our CVs done and have recommendations ready. Do you recommend an agency?

Do we have a shot?

Trying to get a feel if my husband and I have a shot at any decent IT positions. He does not have a teaching certificate (although he could get one) but has a bachelor of fine arts. He is currently the head of ceramics and visual arts/teaching faculty at a community art center. Not sure if it's helpful, but he has a decent amount of solo and group exhibits to give him some credibility as an artist. I taught first grade for one year, prek for another and have a masters in curriculum and teacher leadership. I'm in my 4th year as a Dean of Curriculum at a k-8 school, where I function primarily as a teacher coach, oversee data and assessments and write kindergarten, first and fifth grade curriculum and manage a team of 25. I have a PK-3 teaching license. No international teaching experience, but I did a three month internship at a school for children on the autistic spectrum in Jamaica. We also have a 5 year old daughter. We're pretty open to location but would prefer something outside of a major city, if possible.
We've been looking at SE Asia. Is it too late to get started for 16-17? Realistically, are we qualified for anything decent?
