Hi we have now secured our visa but are not too sure when we will make the big move.

I am considering starting an NVQ here in the UK to become a teaching assistant. If we relocate before i can finish would i be able to complete this in Oz?

Thanks in advance, Mrs Ell

Australia doesnt have para professional teaching assistants like UK does so the job will be different here. With an increase in inclusion for kids with disabilities and behaviour challenges there are courses you can do at TAFE but you dont actually need any qualifications for teacher aide positions in most states. You might get some RPL for course work you have done in UK if you were to go for one of the cert iii or possibly cert iv courses.

Thanks for that, i suppose teaching assistant is still fairly new over here too.
