benj1980 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi guys hopefully someone can help. As I am secondary trained I can teach up to 18. My training was within the 11-16 age group and this is on my transcript and certificate. AITSL stipulate an age range of 13-18 now for teaching practice (I've never noticed this before!) has anyone had any issues with this before? Do AITSL know UK teachers are qualified up to 18? I'm not sure whether to be concerned or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bpepperrogers Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I needed to get a letter from my teacher training institute that listed how many days teaching practice I'd done and what age ranges. Took a few weeks of badgering the university but got there eventually! They included the names and addresses if both schools, the age of the students and how many days there on placement, it also include the start and end date as well as the title of the course. This was enough for AITSL when I applied 18 months ago. All approved, got our 189 visa last May, validated visa this April and were off next January! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 That's great news, I don't suppose you remember whether this stipulated the 13-18 range do you? I'm just wondering if they've changed their stance from 11-16 in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bpepperrogers Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 no, didn't seem to be an issue, presume as 11-18 covers 13-18 its ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 It seemed to work ok for me (one relieved teacher!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Did you get a letter from your university stating what ages AND for how long you taught them when you were training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yes, I still needed that as well. You need evidence for every section: 45 days supervised teaching 4 year degree (Hons 3 years + 1 year PGCE) English proficiency-proven by degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 My uni in Perth was useless. I actually had to write the letter and send it to them so all they had to do was print and sign it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bpepperrogers Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I pretty much had to do the same with IOE in London. Delayed my skills assessment by about 3 months in the end but you will need it again when you register with the state (yes - have to go through ALL the same details even though you have proven it to get the skills assessment in the first place!). Persevere, will be worth it in the end :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 You need to go through it all again?! I thought it was similar but a little simpler as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliem Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 You need to go through it all again?! I thought it was similar but a little simpler as well? It depends which state. To register to teach in QLD it's around a 12 week wait and similar documents required. You can apply online but the documents go by snail mail. They only give a provisional registration and you then have to do an NQT style year induction to become fully registered. It's no biggie, just a paperwork faff.
