  • Teaching service in a member state of the European Union
  • Service in a Third Level Institution in an EU member state
  • Teaching service with a Private Primary School within the EU
  • Teaching service with a Private Post-Primary school within the EU

  • Other reckonable service
  • Teaching service in Non-EU Countries
