bessie Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 hi. I have a 2:1 degree in English Literature Considering doing a PGCE in Early Years Education - One-year, full-time Programme, which leads to the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE Early Years) of the University of Chester. Successful completion of the Programme enables the University to recommend QTS which is awarded by the General Teaching Council. does anyone know if this qualification is recognised in Australia??its to teach age range 3-7 : thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 There are many threads about teaching in Aus. Four years training is the norm for teaching. There are special courses for early childhood teachers at our universities. Its whether your qualifications would match ours. I would look into it before embarking on a course that may be of no assistance for you to get a job. Also you need to look at the State Education systems they are all slightly different and governed be each State Government. Its like America here each State is like living in a slightly different country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KazzE Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Have a look at the acecqa website there is information on there about equivalent qualifications Early Years teachers are going to be in higher demand due to regulations so it would be a good qualification you could probably teach 3 and 4 yr old kindergarten with that but not sure about older children as Petals says each state is different you need to check out acecqa for qualification for Early years and the state you are moving to for teaching good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmjg Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 If you are a citizen you can move over and work at any time. whether your qualifications need checking and how long that takes is a different matter. No matter what your profession, your job prospects will be increased if you have experience in the required field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
