training/working as a classroom assistant
hello everyone
we are emigrating to perth in the new year on a sponsored temp 457
my husband is the main applicant and is set up regarding work.
i am a child carer and wondered if i will be able to train/work as a classroom assistant once we get there.
ive loads of childcare experience, but have not worked as a classroom assistant before, i have 3 small kids and it would fit in great with our lives.
anyone have any idea?
thanks, rosie.

Re: training/working as a classroom assistant
Yes, should be quite easy to do.
Ive seen short courses for teaching assistant at local TAFE college. It even said you could do it distance learning (studying at your own home). When you get to Perth just find your nearest TAFE and they will do the course.
Think you need to do one of these, probably just the Certificate III teaching assistant. You will also need an OZ police clearance.
