    First thing you need to do is see if the teaching council recognises your degree to teach Art.

    You can teach with the ordinary degree but i would recommend you do the full 4 years, Art jobs are one of the hardest to get out there due to the fact that it is an optional subject and many schools don't have Art. There is a huge amount of competition for these jobs so get yourself as qualified as you can. I graduated from my Dip in 2005, luckily got a job straight away, but one of my closest friends on the course has seen only 1 year of work in that time, so be warned!
