Re: Do I have the right qualifications?

The best place to look is AITSL website. If you have QTS then I assume 1 year of your degree was teacher training. You will need to have completed at leasr 45 days teaching practice. Good luck!

Re: 176 online application

Don't know if you managed to submit- ours only took a few moments. I notice this morning that I am unable to log into immi website. System maintenance perhaps?

Re: Which IELTS Test?

As far as I know, a later test will not negate an earlier one. But why would it matter? If 7 is not sufficient for you, its not sufficient. You do not sit IELTS for pride, you sit it for points!

Re: Which IELTS Test?

Immi website states only General test required for the extra points. Check though which is needed for your particular skills assessment.

Re: suitable work experience for skilled visa

I am also applying for skills assessment as Secondary Teacher. My understanding is that Secondary in Australia is 11-18, and so I am not sure that your primary experience would count. Good luck!

Re: IELTS 'overall band score' clarification.

My understanding is that you need 8 in EACH component, and that you would have to sit the whole thing again to achieve this.
