Dave Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi guys - apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but can anyone offer any info on teaching at secondary schools. I am planning to do my training the year after next before preparing to emigrate and wanted to know if there are any other ex-pat secondary teachers on here? Any general advice also very welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I think you need a 4 year degree to teach in Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akasully2 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I think you need a 4 year degree to teach in Aus Or a regular subject specific degree plus a recognised PGCE. Needs to have a satisfactory amount of classroom practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks for the replies ! Akasully2 - would unqualified classroom experience count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 No. You need 45 supervised days in the classroom as part of a PGCE if you haven't completed a BEd. You need to have completed 4 years HE, therefore a 3 year degree+ 1 year PGCE or 3 year BEd + 1 year MEd? For example. You need all university transcripts and certificates as well to provide as evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I would cover that in my PGCE definitely, just wondered if that experience would be beneficial (looking at the visa application it mentions time in occupation or closely related work) Thanks for the specifics - good to know exactly what's needed !
