Check the state nomination 190 pathways. Several state have special pathways for graduates of their state... e.g. VIC only cares about their PhD grads and nurses, and NSW has no special category, but pretty much every other state gives some consideration to anyone who graduated at one of their Universities.

I´ll definitely have a look on that. I am already checking Universities, some require an 8 score on IELST (both in Speaking and Listening) and now that´s an hindrance as I think I might score 7 or 7.5 at the moment. Thanks for the advice

Which university was your bachelor of music from? Is it recognized by Australia ? If so you will need to study only 1 more year and do a pgce in early childhood. If it is not recognized, then you will have to do a 4 year degree. 

I guess I need to check with AITSL if it´s recognized, am I right? They don´t answer my emails, so I will call them to find out. 

I may not be able to use my supervised teaching practice to apply for a visa as Secondary teacher:( 

So, I am wheiging wheter it would be better to study a PG (2 years) in teaching - Secondary - or to change my direction with a BA Early years, as it seems a demanded occupation. So, for this purpouse, I would need a BA Early Childhood (4 years full-time). Am I right? I imagine I do nothing with my Bachelor in Music...

I´m just trying to find my best option (in a matter of investment and duration). In my country I have the possibility of studying BA Primary Education in only two years. So my last question is, could I study a Diploma of Early Childhood Education in Oz and became a Pre-school teacher that way (BA Primary+ Diploma Early years - 18 months)?

Thanks for all your comments

Okay, what university is it from?

Im currently doing my pgce from Sunderland university. It’s a one year post graduate degree.

Actually, my Degree comes from a High Conservatory of Music because it´s a Bachelor in performance... I really need to ask AITSL if it works for them. My next option is studying a Master Degree in Teaching (Secondary), as it´s only two years full-time, and then I would be able to ask for a Skilled Visa (although I know reaching 70 points is gonna be tough, at least I want to be on the right track). Does anybody see any problem in my plan? Any advice?

Ohh okay, where is your initial qualification from? Does it have 45 days of supervised teaching practice ?

I own a Bachelor Degree in Music and a "supervised teaching practice"  of 45 days or more (but the study program where the teaching practice was included did not last a year, maybe 8 months). That´s why I am not sure it´s gonna meet the requirements. I am planning to ask AISLT first, but I have no hope. 

As my "supervised teaching experience" in my country doesn´t meet the requirements of AISLT, I am trying to find a way to be able to apply for a Skilled Visa in the future. What would you recommend? I´m thinking about a Bachelor in education (Early Childhood), a Master´s Degree in teaching (Secondary)... I don´t see another solution to complete the 1 full-year program with supervised practice included

Hi, I am trying to find the best degree in UK to be able to work as a teacher of Early Childhood in Australia. I thougt about the Open University, but there´s no teaching practice in its Degree. A "supervised teaching practice" is necessary to meet the requirments of AISLT as I´ve read, so apparently these studies wouldn´t work for me.

What would you reccomend to start a career as an Early Chidldhood teacher, to meet Australian requirements?

I am also confused with "Early Years Degree" or "Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood"... as you said, as far as "early" is written in the title shouldn´t be any problem with AISLT. 

I am a Secondary teacher, but thinking about changing my professional direction to be able to work in Oz easier. If you can shed some light on this I´ll thank you.
