    They dont really look at the grades, its just to show that you passed all your final exams so they can process your visa. Go for it and send what they need on ASAP. You could scan them a copy in an email to save time posting it :)

    Hello everyone, I recently got a job offer from SABIS to work as a teacher in Abu Dhabi!! I have decided to take it but they are asking for my transcripts from school. I recently received my degree from my university but my grade point average isn't very impressing, so my problem is they are asking for my transcripts and I'm afraid they'll see my grades and take back my offer. Does anyone have thoughts on if they might do this? or if I could just not send them in and send in just my degree instead? Please help! I don't want to lose this offer. :([/QUOTE

    Hi Kelly989, do they require to get your transcripts authenticated first of all. With me, they asked for my transcripts and degree but I just sent them my degree as I had to get them authenticated and that seemed to be sufficient!!

    Hey!

    Can I ask how long it took them to get in touch with you for your face to face interview? And they only asked for my degree certificate which was fine :)

    Hey Lrk89,

    For me, it took them at least 4 wks to make contact with me regarding the face to face interview, which inturn, was only a casual chat! So no need to worry about the face to face interview. Seeing as its coming close to their new school term, I presume they should be making contact with ppl for the face to face pretty soon....

    If you haven't heard from them, you should email the HR person whom you are in contact with and they will be able to tell you!!

    Hey everyone!!

    I'm hopefully going to Ruwais in August 2013 and was wondering if anyone would share their personal experience :) The reason I say hopeful is that I didn't understand what they meant by attested degree. I'm in the process of doing this but I think I will miss my deadline :( Fingers crossed....

    I'm heading to Ruwais too, my degree is currently being arrested as well. Have you let the school know there's a delay? You should be ok, I'm hoping mine comes through soon!

    Yeah I did, and they gave me a five day extension....which if i'm honest is a bit worrying since two of the five days includes the weekend lol. I'm sure I will need to ask for another extension. Are you starting to get nervous LizT? Or will that only happen when you hit Dublin Airport

    I'm a bit nervous, will be in bits in the airport probably! :p

    I think I'll need another extension too but they're still interviewing people so surely they'll have to wait for their degrees etc as well?

    I'm from the UK so mine had to get notarized by a solicitor first, then sent down to the Foreign office of Commonwealth to be legalized and finally it has to be sent to the UAE embassy in London. I think it will have more stamps than a post office at this rate :)

    My degree is from the UK but I live in Ireland, it's a complete pain trying to get it sorted! Ended up sending it off to a company to do it for me :P

    Why isn't sending a copy of your degree in enough? It seems like a lot of effort lol my friend works for one of the schools and she said you only need to get it attested if you don't have it stamped..?


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,089 ✭✭✭✭LizT


    What do you mean by stamped Lrk89?

    I think the process changed this year, you need it stamped by the foriegn affairs office and then the embassy as far as I know?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8 Lrk89


    Ahhh I see. Can we send a scanned in copy when we get them attested?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8 Lrk89


    sorry for all the questions hehe

    Depends on your school, some schools will accept it scanned and others want it posted to them.

    Hey! Its never too late to apply as they might require some additional teachers in September. From what I was told, there are no age limits for SABIS. During the phone interview, I was told that they do like the older age group as they are more than likely going to stay for a few years.... I would definitely recommend you to apply, won't do you any harm :)

    Hello everyone, Is anyone coming from the US and going to the UAE? Specifically Abu Dhabi? The school told me I have to get a copy of my degree stamped by my university, then stamped by the UAE embassy here, then at the foreign affairs ministry? Does anyone know an easy way to get all these stamped quickly as I am running out of time before the school semester starts?
