Further Education Jobs in Adelaide
My wife is Secondary school qualified but her teaching experience has been mainly to the 16-18 age group and she has worked for FE Colleges here in the UK teaching English GCSE (always fairly popular because required for University entrance), A Level and the English & Communications component of various vocational courses such as BTEC.
When we lived in Sydney for 4 years in the early '90s she taught in a private English as a Foreign Language school.
Does anyone know whether the TAFE sector in Adelaide would offer anything comparable? From my reading of it, there is no GCSE equivalent, only the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) Parts 1 and 2 which are obtained in Years 11 & 12 of school. I get the impression, therefore, that the TAFE colleges offer only vocational courses. Seems to me, therefore, that in order to teach English on academic courses she'd have to get a job in a school.
