garyjames Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi, I just want to know if any teachers have had any experience, or knows of anyone who has, of getting a Skilled – Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175) under the following circumstances: 33 years old: 25 points IELTS score above 7.0 in all 4 areas: 25 points Skills Assessment Certificate from Teaching Australia: 60 points Work experience: Worked as a supply teacher for an average of 3 days per week for 3 of the last 4 years, including working as a tutor for an average for 4 hours per week for 3 of the last 4 years. I am getting conflicting information from two employees at the Australian High Commission in London; namely, regarding whether I can be eligible for 10 points for my work experience. Kind Regards, Gary J Email: gary_leech2004@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Broughtons Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I would seek some professional advice on this one from a registered migration agent if I were you. I came over on a 136 skilled independent as a teacher but can't offer any advice on your situation. I would however check out Teach Australia - they are the assessment body for teachers. This will give you more idea as to whether your teaching experience would pass the skills assessment. Felicity:wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on easy street Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 This is one of those close run situations were you need advice from a Registered migrant agent. I am a different profession Electronics Technician I got caught out by being out of trade for more than six months. Just before I applied to emigrate.:cry: Even though I had 23 years continuos experience in my trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
