Teacher Assessment / 175 Visa Application
Hi
I am in the process of sending off my Teacher Assessment forms. I have to tick one particular ASCO code however, my quals show my age range 7-14yrs however I have only ever taught in secondary levels 11-16yrs. If I tick primary ASCO code this would mean I would then not be on the CSL list. Could I tick ASCO code secondary? thanks Nicky

Yes, tick Secondary School teacher. If TA think you are not qualified for this occupation, they will consider you under Primary.

Re: Teacher Assessment / 175 Visa Application
I'm waiting for the result of my Teacher Assessment; TA acknowledged receipt of it on the 5th January, and so far I've nothing back about any documents being missing, so hopefully that's a good sign.
I presume I will hear back by the end of Feb or mid-March? Anyone any words of advice as I wait to hear back...it's daunting not knowing if they will find my skills suffice to teach in Oz...

Hi Jen
I am just about to send my TA off now. Which visa are you going to apply on? Where are you heading? Nicky

How many years experience have you got, and are you Primary or Secondary? I'm in my 9th year now, and am Primary...KS1... Where would you consider yourself?

Im secondary and I am in my 5th year of teaching - we are hoping to go to Brisbane area. We did originally look at Perth my oh is a joiner and we are trying to look at the best option for work. We have two little ones 6 and 3 and QLD seemed to have more to offer but who knows. Nicky

Are you doing your application through an agent or independently?

Re: Teacher Assessment / 175 Visa Application
No harm in trying, you are qualified to teach 12 to 14 year olds and they are in Secondary school - you have nothing to lose but you could gain priority processing.

Re: Teacher Assessment / 175 Visa Application
Felt the very same way when I applied. The assessment results came the day I left to go to Oz for the 6 week holiday...and I had already left when it arrived!! Had to wait until I got back to get the result. Awful.
Hope all goes well for you. Enjoy the process as much as possible.

Once you get your TA back then its the visa app and I think it is just short of £1000. We are doing our visa etc independently - having done much research I figured we could do it ourselves and save some money for later. I dont know if Im missing something but getting the TA paperwork together hasnt been as hard as I had anticipated. Just hope Ive got everything. Have you gone through an agent?

Re: Teacher Assessment / 175 Visa Application
Hi Tony, as a Primary School Teacher of 9 years, is the General Skilled Migration visa my only option? I have considered sending my cv to several schools in Australia, but, going by previous experiences here in Sunny Northern Ireland, I know that a lot of schools would prefer a cv being hand delivered, as opposed to a 'faceless' cv as this can be quite offputting and you just don't know what you're getting! I'm fortunate to have a permanent teaching post here, but have considered Oz since 2003, and have now decided to stop thinking and start doing!
