01

What employers usually see

A completed bachelor's can satisfy the education baseline even when it is unrelated to teaching or has no honours label.

02

What can trip you up

An incomplete degree, diploma below bachelor's level, unusual award title, or missing transcripts may need closer checking.

03

Prove it properly

You may need the certificate authenticated or apostilled. Some processes also request sealed transcripts or verification.

04

Ask the precise question

Do not ask a recruiter if your degree is 'good enough'. Ask whether your exact award satisfies the current visa category.

the course call

Check the rules. Then move.

Degree equivalency decisions belong to immigration authorities and sponsoring employers. Confirm your exact award before paying for legalisation or travel.
