Hello, I passed grade 8 piano like to years ago, but what does that mean? Sure, it's a qualification I can put on my resumes (and lets not forget the bragging rights) and sure, its a morale builder, but what does it really mean? Does it qualify as a license to teach? Some might say you teach when your ready to teach, but can the passing of grade 8 act as a credential for the start of a teaching career, like legitimately? In an analogous situation, acing the SATs means going to college, does acing grade 8 mean qualification (not ability cuz thats a whole other story) to teach? Help me out.

Much regards.

You can actually teach whenever! Grade 8 means you can now go onto University standard material

To quote the general regulations:

This subject has been flogged to death!!! Check out the search history function, the battle has been well done on this thread.

You can teach if you want, but it is not a license to teach.I mean, you can teach the younger(grade1~4) if you have passed your grade 5 too!(not much like it).
Grade 8 is just a better/higher standard certificate. It is just a type of "graduation" for school and prepares you for the university,I think. But grade 8 confirms your standard, a higher standard, that's why you can teach! (somehow it is better than grade 5 student teaching grade 1~4 right?)

Im grade 5 piano and i teach some younger kids at school. You can teach whenever.
