Thanks, I appreciate you being straight forward. Unfortunately I cannot train in a Secondary subject as my degree was only in Education Studies and I didn't take another topic alongside it. Hey ho! I'm glad I found out now and didn't waste $21k on a qualification that wouldn't even work for me here!

Hi, I am currently on a WHV in Perth. I have been accepted into ECU to undertake a Post Grad Diploma in Primary Education commencing Feb 2016. I will be an international student, and just ready to apply for my student visa. However, before I 100% commit to it, I am wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge of how likely I would be to find a sponsored job in a Primary School over here? I've spoken to a couple of teachers who are friends of the family (sister and in-laws are over here) and they seem to think that as i'm a male, I would have plenty of suitors. The University were fairly ambiguous about the whole thing when I asked them, but my main concern is that with Year 6 being moved up to senior school, and upon reading an article of a few Primary Teachers who are worried about their job prospects in WA this coming year, that I may be a little naïve to fork out the hefty international student fees only on the hope I might find a sponsored job. Does anyone have any advice or guidance? Thanks in advance
