LondonLad88 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Afternoon all! I'm in the process of gathering as much info as i can before i get the ball rolling. my wife is level 3 qualified in child care and about to start level 4, but she's unsure of what is in more demand in Aus? Level 4 child care management or early years level 4. I contacted a company called GoMatilda and was told her skill level is not required in Aus? id just like to know if anyone has an insite into what is required in Aus? Would her qualifications mean anything over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Go Matilda are a highly respected migration agents. What they are saying is that your wife's occupation is not eligible for a visa. Australia publishes two lists of occupations eligible for visas known as SOL and CSOL and if an occupation isn't on either then there is no visa option. What is your occupation?

Thats the thing, her occupation is on the actual skills list, pre-primary/ early years teacher. That's what I don't understand... I'm a cobbler, I've spoke to a well known company out there and theyre interested in seeing me if I can get over there which is a good start I suppose, but they don't sponsor which is a shame.

ali Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I think an early years teacher (pre-primary teacher) needs a degree and an undergrad/postgrad qualification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like your wifes qualifications would be for working in Daycare, or what Uk calls Nursery. A pre-primary/early years teacher is a qualified teacher over here.

elfie Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 NVQ is not worth the paper its written on here neither is years of experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 As above, your wife is qualified to work in day care centres/nursery settings and not to teach early years in a primary school. A degree, certificate, transcripts and experience would need to be assessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
