Teaching Physics but untrained
 

At the age of 44 I think it's going to be very hard for me to gain permanent employment as a PE teacher. I have been teaching biology and physics for one lesson per week for the past 2 years. I wondered whether schools in WA would employ me as a Physics or Biology teacher without any formal training or qualifications. All sounds a little daft I appreciate but the GTC say I would be fine to teach Science in the UK because I have so much teaching experience - basically an old git!! Any thoughts please :thumbsup::thumbsup:

It would be unlikely that you could teach in state schools. However, once you have registered with WACOT, you can apply for science posts in private schools. You just have to convince them that you can do the job. Good luck.
