Guest rakesh31 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I am a Secondary School Teacher (Biology & Science), planning to submit my EOI. But, I am confused over the type of modules I need to sit for in IELTS. AITSL needs an Academic (IELTS) score of minimum 7.0 in each segment. DIAC notifies that it needs IELTS (GT) for the EOI. I am confused if I need to go out for both the modules !!! Guys, can you please suggest me a way out of this !!! I believe any of the module serves the basic purpose as IELTS basically assesses proficiency in English Language !! Urgent help is whole-heartedly welcomed. :ssign16: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You can use either Academic or General for DIAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest acar Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hi As you are a secondary teacher you may not need to have IELTS for the AITSL under section H of the form Evidence of English Language Proficiency part a says completed at least one full year of full time higher educationlevel study for an initial teacher education qualifications in variouscountries including the UK So if you have a PGCE that should be fine?

Guest rakesh31 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thanx, Acar. Actually, I'm from India and done all my education in India. So, I have to go for IELTS. AITSL asks for IELTS (Academic) with 7.0 minimum in each segment, for assessment of educational qualifications earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perthsunshine Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thanx, Labourvellec. The Skillselect page of DIAC suggests need of IELTS (GT) for submission of EOI !!! Am confused, can you pls confirm if DIAC would accept the Academic socre instead of the suggested GT score? Labourvellec is correct. DIAC does only require the General test, but it means that they accept both. The way that DIAC has formulated does leave a bit confusion and I had a chat with them regarding this topic and got it confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rakesh31 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thanx Perthsunshine, for the confirmation. I really found it strange and confusing that 2 different agencies ask scores for 2 different modules of the same test (IELTS)... and, most importantly, both the modules assesses the samething, the proficiency of English as a language. Thanx for clarifying the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
