Degree Attestation KSA

[josephine]

Hi all, just came across a post on another site that said something about degree attestations in KSA & UAE...just wondering how does this affect people who have degrees in subjects other than education but became certified otherwise (such as PGCE or alternative teacher certification)? Is it required to have a B.Ed to teach in KSA & UAE, or are certified teachers with bachelor's degrees in other fields admissable?

Also, anyone went through the degree attestation process and can elaborate?

Well...I am not sure about Saudi, but in the UAE (Dubai) where I worked, I had simply notarized the photocopies of my certificates from the US by a notary public and that was all. If I have to guess, Saudi should be pretty much the same. However, I know from some real life stories that workers from South Asia/South East Asia had to go to their respective embassies to 'notarize' their documents...hope this helps!

Thanks for your response. Do you have a degree in education?
