AITSL assess your qualifications and can provide skilled employment statements for immigration purposes ie to gain extra points through your experience. They only assess your teacher training. So in terms of 189 you would gain a positive skills assessment providing you completed your training the way AITSL like it. Gaining a state teacher registration may be harder to obtain, but I'm not sure about that. Maybe something you should look into?

Experience is only relevant if you need extra points. AITSL literally check your qualifications and teacher training. Certain states may request a particular amount of experience for state sponsorship. Will you need to complete the IELTS test as well to give you extra points?

This is something that I need to start looking into as well. My agent has some experience in this, I will relay the information when I'm clear myself!

Hi Sammy1,are you saying that they couldn't do a PGDE to qualify? I've not known anyone to complete a Masters and then qualify because they completed a BEd. Maybe you do? There's plenty of post grad education qualifications if this is the case. I've been put through the ringer by AITSL to gain a positive assessment and they're not keen to offer advice on an individual basis, in my experience.

It it sounds dramatic but you would be better going to Scotland and completing a PGDE in education. This is the initial teacher training that you require. A masters doesn't cut it because it's not initial teacher traing. Presuming you live in England or Wales...
