Hello hunny1,

Welcome to Expat.com!

I have created a new topic as from your post on the Gothenburg forum for better visibility.

All the best,

Hey!

I don't know if this will help much or not, but Sweden has its own established English teaching system so the impression that I was given was that one must get a teaching certificate from Sweden in order to teach. What I would recommend doing is going down to vuxenutbildningen/lärareförbundet with a university transcript and see which credits coincide with the system here.

Which country did you get your degree from?
