Well guys my situation is even more complicated! I must sit an English test, as my degree is from Italy. This is despite I have a UK Pgce, 18 years in the UK and 2 of those teaching in UK secondary schools. Absolutely ridiculous, now I have to shell more money. To teach in private schools I must do the Ielts and then later the Peat if I wish to teach in Nsw government schools. It's going to cost nearly $900 hoping I pass first time, as they make them quite difficult for foreigner teachers. Arghhhhhh

Good luck with all this! It sometimes seems like a lot of red tape especially when visas have been granted. My forms are all in now and yep, it's non practising for thos eof us who haven't taught in Oz or NZ. Good luck everyone!

I really don't get these assessing authorities.

As long as you got the qualification for a PGCE with the transcript and the end of the course showing all your units and credits, your name, the academic year, what is the problem?

Really, TRBWA last year registered people from overseas within a month's time. Are they getting pickier?

 

Are you going for non-practising registration or provisional? I went for non practising as it was my gap year travelling, and none of all these details were specifically required.

 

I find AITSL is usually more stringent than the Registration boards. They had me translating every single certificate/transcript from my French Baccalaureat onwards (more than 10 pages!) for the sake of checking that I ACTUALLY completed a proper MA degree.

 

Money well invested, I hope... CO will tell soon!

I don't get it either because they have said they're not really fussed but won't process my application any further at the minute and that's just the qualifications check. They will take more money of me and let me apply for non practicing because that's all I am eligible for at the minute. I understand AITSL being picky because their check is for migration purposes but I thought that would be it for checking. Still, I'll do what I have to. Onwards!

WA have said the transcript I provided for AITSL isn't good enough and lacking details. It's costing me another $500 and all that is really missing is a few details like my student number. They've said that a signed letter from the uni saying that what I have is all they give out will be enough to carry on my application which is all very frustrating. I actually want to go remote too and they're crying out for people to do it. It's all a bit frustrating as casual work seems to be hard to come by at the minute. Chin up though!

I'm sure you will do just fine! I'd love to be bricking it but this splitting of hairs is getting rather frustrating! Anyway, we'll see what happens. Shouldn't be too far away.

Has anyone else on here been frustrated when trying to register to teach? I have a PR visa and AITSL certificate and now WA have decided that my PGCE transcript is not good enough so I need to contact my university for another even though the first one was good enough. I am desperate to start work and am finding casual labouring jobs or anything else hard to come by in Perth. Any thoughts anyone especially in regards to where I can get some work to tide me over?

All the best,

Chall.

The Teaching Registration Boards have nothing to do with AITSL.

 

You will need to provide all of your academic transcripts, supervised teaching days and visa status. It can take a few weeks, but as you already have your documents from AITSL, that will help speed it up.

 

You will also need to pay a fee to register and you will most likely apply for limited registration as you will not meet the Professional Standards requirement yet.

Thanks Sammy. This si the form I found under the 'overseas teachers' section: http://www.trb.wa.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/Form-Request-for-Qualification-Advice.pdf

Any ideas or can I just got for provisional registration?

Hi guys,

I'm moving to WA in 4 weeks and need to get registered with TRBWA and wondered if anyone can help me with the process please? Do I need to I need to apply via the 'Request for Qualification Advice' form because I was thinking that my AITSL pass certificate would have been enough. It seems daft that I have to be assessed all over again!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi

 

I need advice please. I am currently a Principal at an elementary school in Canada. I am a Canadian citizen but was born and studied in South Africa. (We immigrated to Canada 5 years ago, but it has been a nightmare - minus 52 degrees C is not fun if you come from Africa...)

 

 

 

My family and I would like to immigrate to WA. The only way that I will have enough points is if I apply for State nomination. Can anyone tell me how long this process takes. I have not yet registered with the WA College of Teachers. Should I do that first? Will I be able to apply for State nomination without a job? If not, how difficult is it to get a job if I live in Canada? I am doing my IELTS in July, my previous one has expired. I do know that I do not need that for immigration, as I am a Canadian citizen, I will however need it to register as a teacher.

 

We are keen to move to Bunbury (my son is one of Canada's top 10 swimmers in his age group, and I know they have an excellent swimming program)

 

I would appreciate any suggestions.

 

Kind regards,

I've only just seen this but I would say that from the time you make your EOI and have qualifications checked (which can take 4 months), you're looking at another 6 months. Good luck with everything!

Varies from state to state.

 

I am registered provisionally with QLD. I didn't have a choice. Need to work there in order to achieve full registration. I suppose it is like an NQT/induction kind of procedure.

 

Someone with actual WA experience will help

Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

Just wondered if anyone can help me with my registration for the Teacher Registration board of WA? I'm unsure about whether I need provisional registration or full. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

The remote school service employs highly qualified staff. There is no 'earning your stripes' anymore. If you want to work in a Perth school, then you are better off doing that to begin with. Two years in the bush used to guarantee a metro job, that is no longer the case.

 

The remote service only wants to employ teaching staff who have a passion for Indigenous education and the experience to go with it. It is important to note the difference between regional and remote teaching.

Thanks for the info. I can't claim to have any experience but government websites still have these facts on them. Maybe I was being naive but I also spoke to a person at the remote recruitment office in WA when I did a validation trip last year and was told a few times that the pool of teachers runs dry most years. I'm not looking at this as an easy way in. I genuinely think the experience would be awesome although I would be trying for a metropolitan job at the same time. I'm just keen to get involved and see how teaching in Australia compares to the UK.

There's some great help here so a big thank you. I'm heading over to WA in August but as I am aware primary jobs are over-subscribed, as in the UK, I'm going to look at teaching remote to start with so I can earn my stripes and then hopefully move to a metropolitan area after that.

If anyone has any info on teaching remote, I'd be keen to hear. I am aware that it is anything but easy!
