Hi Christina,

Christina, this website is a good place to start:

The Finnish National Board of Education decides if foreign degrees are the equivalent of Finnish degrees. Sometimes, an academic degree from abroad is considered the equivalent of a non-academic degree in Finland, sometimes it is accepted as the equivalent of a Finnish academic degree.

To become an art teacher in Finland, you need to have a degree in the specific subject, study some Education as well, and have practical experience. Obviously, you need to speak Finnish. These are the requirements for a tenured position.

However, you need none of this to work as a substitute teacher! Students and even mere high school graduates are accepted. But I would not move here on the flimsy hope of finding temp work.

Why don't you contact the FNBE and find out if you qualify, and if not, what more is needed?
