The B.Ed was in the same university as the Business degree, so it is all on one transcript. So its almost like a 5 year degree on my transcript. I only completed two of the four years of the Business degree as I transferred then to the B.Ed but I'm sure that has to count for something? It is 5 years of uni exams passed and I studied the french as a major with both, so that remained consistent. Hope I'm not clutching at straws. It would just seem very frustrating to have to go go back and do a sixth year of uni.. I contacted the TRBWA and they said they couldn't advice me until I had sent in documents with the application. It's a tricky one!

PS sorry for the essay!! :wink:

Hi all!!

I am a primary school teacher, hoping to move to oz this August with my boyfriend whom is relocating with work to Perth.

I am about to begin my TRBWA qualifications assessment form, and I have a query that I was wondering if anyone may know the answer to before I pay my $480..

I began my studies in University studying a Bachelor of Business Studies and French for two years, however soon realised that it wasn't for me, and transferred to a 3 year B.Ed course within the same university. I am wondering whether this will cover me for the four year tertiary degree dilemma?

Here is their requirements:

In order for a teaching qualification to be accredited as an ITEP it must meet the National Program

Standards as outlined in the Accreditation of Initial Teacher Education Programs in Australia: Standards and Procedures (April 2011)

.

5.2

1.A qualification awarded on completion of a higher education course of initial teacher education that

a)is of at least 4 years’ full-time duration or part-time equivalent duration;

b)has at least one year (full-time or part-time equivalent) of professional teacher education subjects (including supervised

teaching practice).

c)includes at least 45 days satisfactory supervised teaching practice undertaken at a primary or secondary school or

other recognised educational venues; and

d)is comparable to an Australian Bachelor degree.

2.

And e)is comparable to an Australian Graduate Diploma

Pleeeease someone help me, as I am hoping so very much that my transcripts will suffice.
