Any teachers out there who have got a 175 visa?

[garyjames]

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

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.
