You are aware that getting work as a primary teacher in Victoria - even if you were able to complete a 4th year is not easy? Especially not in places where people actually want to live. Many young new Aussie graduate teachers don’t get jobs and seek other careers. Which second language are you qualified in?

Yes I have read that it's really difficult. Do you think I would face similar issues finding a job in Sydney? I know that in some professions you can have your skills assessed if you don't hold the qualifications (my boyfriend is doing this in order to get a job in Australia), so didn't know if there was something similar which would demonstrate that I'm equally recognised to teach as somebody with a 4-year degree. I would have full QTS and 1-years experience teaching.

I am hoping to move to Victoria, Australia to teach primary. I am about to start my NQT year here in London and would hope to move out for the following academic year. My degree was a 3-year BA (Hons) in Primary Education with QTS, however in order to be eligible to teach in Australia I need to have completed 4-years of study. Does anybody know if there is a way to get my qualification recognised in Australia without having to go back to study for a fourth year? If not, then has anybody else faced this same challenge and can give advice about how they got around it or which course they took?
