i think you need the pgce. To the best of my knowledge it is the only way you will get recognised as a teacher.

Hi, Just wondered if you completed form 80 to get your 189 grant? Have front loaded everything else, but prior to teaching I was a freelancer and so had may clients over the years and so unless I can just put that time down as one period of self employed work it would be onerous to fill it out.

Hi Rachel, did you have to submit a for 80. Just trying to decide whether I should fill one in and upload it on the off chance?

Hi,

I'm a secondary science teacher - Biology specialist. I just submitted my 189 application and am about to upload all my documents...but am unsure about form 80!

Did anyone on this thread get requested for a form 80? It looks like a lot of grief to fill out so hoping I can get away without completing it. But also don't want to delay my visa being granted. Advice please!:confused:

Hi, if I get an invite to apply for a 189 visa do you need to supply a CV and references and all of that... Just wondering as if so I may try and get written references sorted in advance. Not applying for points for experience as only taught for 2 years but still.

I got approved by AITSL today! And lodged my EOI. Excited for Sunday to see if we get invited.

Well done tiger stripes. Posted my AITSL on 6th Feb, fingers crossed for both of us.

Thanks Bissy am going to go head and put in ceryificates to AITSL.

Hi tiger stripes, thanks for replying. My degree was completed in an English speaking country but I need the extra 20 points I can get if I get a level 8 for IELTS but not sure if it has to be assessed by AITSL for me to get the points or whether I can submit my IELTS score at the point of applying for my visa. In which case I can go ahead with my skills assessment now and won't be delayed any...anyone know?

I just got back my IELTS scores and got 9's in reading, speaking and listening, but sadly, got only a 7.5 in writing. I needed at least 8 in all 4. I'm resitting and asking for a remark but wondered whether I can start the skills assessment process going by putting an application into AITSL with these IELTS results and then at the EOI stage submit my new IELTS score (hopefully improved to an 8). I ran out of time in the writing test so didn't get a chance to check over my work for mistakes - think this may have been due to taking a toilet break at the start - oops!

Is this possible or is the IELTS score you submit to AITSL the one you have to submit with your visa application?
