It wouldnt be too difficult to get more respect than I do at the moment! Im in a PRU and a day where I dont get assaulted is a good one :eek:

Thanks Dorset and Rachel. Yes the AITSL faq's are quite vague, although this bit is a bit worrying - "The initial teacher education qualification must involve at least one year of full-time study (or part-time equivalent) and be specific to the stage of schooling of the nominated occupation." Think ill have to contact them! How has everyone found the transition from teaching in the uk to teaching in oz? Are there many differences?

Hi Im new to this forum and wondered if anyone could answer a few questions I have about teaching qualifications? We are just in the process of starting our application process.I have a further education PGCE (14+) and a dance degree. My pgce placement was teaching at fe and he level. Since graduating 2 years ago I have been on supply in secondary education, mostly as general cover (dance teachers never seem to be off work!) mainly english, maths with some performing arts cover. Ive also had a couple of long term stints in PRU's. As well as this I work self employed as a dance artist/choreographer. I suppose the main thing im worried about is how easily I will find work seeing as my pgce is fe and my work experience has been secondary ed plus i have QTLS not QTS. Also will my pgce be recognised over there? We have our hearts set on Perth when and if we get out there. Hope someone can help :smile:

Great! Thank you :smile:
