That's basically what I thought, thank you. Training to be a teacher is definitely the career path I will be taking irrespective of the opportunity to emigrate. Thank you for the advice.

Hi Paul, 

I am currently just applying for my PGCE to teach 5-11, I intend to emigrate to Aus with my wife in about 5 years, I'd be very interested to know any tips, etc so that I can be heading in the right direction from day one. Do you come across many ex-pats teaching Primary age in Brisbane?

I am about to apply for the PGCE course which will enable me to become a Primary School  teacher here in UK. My wife and I have a timeline of 5 years before we plan on emigrating to Australia. I have looked for advice on whether this is a valid route in which to emigrate but I am getting mixed answers as Primary School Teacher has been removed from the main skills list. My fear is training up, becoming a teacher and then finding out that I still cannot emigrate, I guess I am just looking for reassurance that I am not wasting my time.
