Suffolk, East Anglia or Essex? Did you only do 35 days and is that why they wont sign off on 45 days?

I actually done a lot more than 45. But because they don’t have a record (or can’t find one currently for the other 10 days) they won’t write a supporting statement. 

Hi all,

Hope someone can help. 

I am currently in the process of completing the application to move to Aus as a secondary teacher. However, I’ve hit a few bumps in the road. 

When I completed my PGCE it was awarded by 2 different universities - University of East Anglia and University of Essex.

I need to get a letter from one of the above to state that I have completed at least 45 days supervised teaching practise during my training year. However, as they were only the awarding bodies they do not have any record my actual days. Unfortunately, the University of Suffolk (whom I completed my PGCE with) only recorded 35 days.  

What do I do? Is someone able to help please? This would be the final bit of my application before I can send it off and it’s really dragging out! 

Thanks in advance

Have you got four years of university education? 

MAy I know how many points you have at the moment? if you have 70 or above you can go for 189 visa. 

Hi Ben, sorry to inform you but QLD are not currently nominating teachers of any kind at the moment for either 489 or 190 visas. They have reduced their whole QSOL quite a lot at the moment. See the link below...

Ok - thank you so much for your advice. Where have you applied to? Appreciate the time you’ve taken to respond.
I really hope it all goes smoothly for you

Hiya, I think you get offered state sponsorship depending if that state requires your skills, have you had a look if your trade is on the list for that state ? Then you have to to a skilled assessment before you apply for state sponsorship

Emergico are really good

Hi Ben.

There are many good registered migration agents who post on the forum who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

All MARA registered, many years experience as agents, all have contributed on the forum for around a decade or more.

The first thing to consider is visa and if you qualify for a visa. For example, for a teacher to pass a skills assessment, you will need 4 years of universty

How old are you?  If you're under 30, then the easiest (and probably most sensible) thing to do is to come over on a Working Holiday Visa.   Application is easy and you're usually approved within days, then you can come and work in Australia for a year (or 2 years if you're willing to do a few weeks of farm work).   You can't work for the same employer for more than six months, but then you'll probably want to do some travelling anyway.  You'll have to go home at the end of it, though.
If you''re looking for a more permanent move, then the first question is - are you eligible?   It's not enough to want to move - there is a list of occupations, and if your  occupation isn't on the list, you can't get in. Even if your occupation is on the list, you're not safe yet - the list also specifies the qualifications and experience you must have.
If you can manage to get to Australia, you can work in any job you like - but you've got to get past the gates first!
I have no idea what qualifications a PE teacher needs to have or what your chances are, no doubt someone else will have more knowledge.

Australia is a PE teachers dream! Sport plays such a big part of the school life over here. What visa do you plan to come on?

Phys Ed is a mandatory part of schooling here, both in primary and secondary schools, so you could work in either.

First of all you need to meet the required four years of tertiary education with 45 days (minimum) of supervised teaching. They do not accept three years here. If you already have this, then great, that is one hurdle out of the way.

The area that you want to move to is popular and you will have great difficulty securing a position in a government school, you may have more luck in a private school though.

It seems to be the most popular occupation in Australia! We have many Phys Ed qualified teachers who are sharing a little Phys Ed but are teaching science. As you teach at a six form college what age range did you train in?

Hi guys

I am just looking at my options for my move to Australia! When I was younger, I spent 2 years in Oz and pretty much decided then that I want to live in QLD.

Looking at my options - state sponsorship is an option. However, I understand that QLD is not offering this at the moment (please let me know if this is wrong).

I believe (again, let me know if I’m wrong) that NSW is offering state sponsorship.

I have family in QLD - another reason I’d like to move there.

Please can someone let me know of their experiences of state sponsorship? Do I have to live and work in the state that sponsored me for a certain period of time? What happens at the end of it?

Any help/advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Ben

Hi all,

I have been looking at different companies to look after my visa application. I have considered doing it on my own, but I’m thinking because of timing/hassle etc - having a company look after it for me might be the way forward.

Can anyone please recommend companies/people they have used before?

Thank you all in advance

Ben

Hi guys

Thanks so much for leaving a reply to my topic. Really appreciate it. 

On looking back, I guess my topic was slightly brief and could do with some detail. 

I was on a working holiday visa (2 year) when I was 19 (now 28) and loved the country . My sister and brother live in Brisbane plus I have many friends over there. It’s always been an ambition to get over there - but the timing was never right. 

I studied 3 years BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching & Physical Education. Plus one year PGCE. I trained for post 16 but can teach secondary too. 

I can imagine that PE is very popular and has little demand for jobs because a lot of people want to do it. 

To give me a head start, where should I be looking for teaching jobs? Is there anything I can do to get ahead of others? Or should I potentially retrain? 

I have been in discussions with Go Matilda to help with my applications - any recommendations? 

Thanks guys

Ben 

Hi all, 

I've just signed up to this to hopefully engage with you all and to gain some knowledge! 

I am at the start of my application stage and I was just flicking through jobs last night on seek.au

Currently, I am working as a PE teacher at a Sixth Form College delivering A - Levels & BTEC qualifications. Whats everyones thoughts on securing a teaching position Down Under? 

My aim is to move to QLD around the Brisbane area. Ideally, I'd like to move into a PE position - but I'm happy to get into any education position to give me the the experience required. 

Any thoughts would be received with a happy face  

Thank you in advance guys, 

Ben
