  RETIRED AND READY TO TEACH
" I am a vigorous and healthy and energetic female, 65 years of age. I am just retiring from the nursing field, where I have done much work with adolescents and children with psychiatric disorders. My degree is an Associate Degree in Nursing. I have excellent communication and teaching skills as patient care calls for this, especially with children and adolescents. 1. Is age a barrier to traveling and teaching English? 2. Are my former professional qualifications as a Registered Nurse who has taken State Boards and is Licensed in the USA, sufficient to permit a TEFL certification course. "

TEACHING AS OPPOSED TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING QUALIFICATIONS
Q.
What is "PGDE or equivalent" and how does it differ from TESL/TEFL qualifications? I recently saw this in a job advertised for Hong Kong. They were very specific about this. I have the 4 week Cert TESOL and the 6 month Grad Cert in Education (TESOL) and working my way to a Masters in Education (TESOL) in Australia. Is it just a difference in terminology or do you think they meant just something other than the 4 week RSA/Celta/TESOL type course?

A.
I imagine the advertisement was referring to a Post Graduate Diploma in Education. Both PGCEs (certificate) and PGDEs are principally 'teaching' qualifications as opposed to an English language teaching qualification, though there can be a TEFL/TESOL option as a 'major'. They are normally of one year's duration and can be considered to provide more of a basis on the principles of education than other TEFL/TESOL qualifications.
