After completing my PGCE in 2011, I moved to Dubai and started employment in an International School as a Grade 2 teacher. Can I use this year to count towards my NQT year?

I'm pretty sure that they told us last year that you cannot complete your nqt year overseas. I would have to check it though.
The current induction standards do not allow NQTs to complete induction abroad except in very specific circumstances related to forces schools. There are new rules due for this September which would allow certain categories of British Schools abroad to offer induction, but this would not be for all schools. That said, induction cannot be backdated, even if your school did meet trhe cirteria this September.
