Get your qualifications recognised

Then if you are an EU passport holder, no work permit, if non EU, then work permit.

Hi schoolmum,

Thanks for your reply.

I contacted "la Communaut茅 Fran莽aise" to get my degree recognised.
They told me there is no equivalency to my degree in the Belgian educational system.

Thats weird usually u have to fill out a huge long form and resent copies of your degree and course breakdown before they give u a answer to if its equivalent or not. Try contacting a city hall in Brussels etc that's how i got mine changed.

Teach in a private school, outside French or Flemish or German community control. For example, BICS and Acacia in Brussels have teachers there without any teaching qualifications.
