VIT Registration
Hi all, my wife and I are moving out to Oz in August and settling in Melbourne. We are currently trying to get VIT reg done. We have all the reference parts done by the Head and character ref as well. Its just the teaching certificates we are confused on to support application.
We are both secondary teachers and both have PGCE (I have 5 years experience the wife 4). I have searched the forums but all posts are quite old that I found so was hoping for some more up to date advice. Are the QTS cert and Induction cert provided by GTC sufficient in showing Supervised Practice Teaching (SPT)(Section 5.0)? I read somewhere that it wasn't. Its just that the VIT form asks that something that states number of days (75 overall over both diagnostic and long practice) but I have nothing, not even transcript, that states this but the certs do say that I did what was needed. Hopefully someone can make sense of my ramblings but if clarity is no doubt needed please let me know, Olly PS - How long does it take? 30 days is something the wife found but have seen 6 weeks and 12 weeks on other threads. |
Re: VIT Registration
No, the QTS and Induction certificates are not sufficient.
You need to get something from the University where you did your PGCE. I just wrote a quick statement which said how many days/weeks I did on supervised practice and asked someone at the Uni to sign it on headed paper. |
Re: VIT Registration
I think you will find that QTS isn't recognised as a teaching qualification in Australia and hence isn't deemed appropriate for migration.
There may well be otehr ways around it and I would be interested to know about them. Teaching Australia also required verification of these qualifications so ...:( Bezza |

Re: VIT Registration
Olly,
Here's a thought .... Think about the private schools in Oz - it is possible to get a job without registration and then to be sponsored by the school - well I think it is anyway and think one or two might get through that way. The oteher route may be to look at a different Teaching Council as each has reciprocal arrangements - NZ included. Go well Bezza |
Re: VIT Registration
I think you may be mistaken, not one school that I've come across is willing to let someone teach without their registration. I've just done 6 weeks of Teacher Aide work because of this, whilst my Rego is processed. Also if someone has a PGCE they're more than able to teach here, it's the 3 year GTP route that is not recognised here in Oz. Correct me if I'm wrong?! :huh:

Re: VIT Registration
Jen,
Things may well have changed but I taught in a private school in Queensland for a year without registering - I was on exchange and the school dealt with all the formalities and of course this could be an explanation. Bezza |

Re: VIT Registration
Good news I've got my VIT(amins?) then.
Having followed many of your posts am I right in thinking that in addition to the Teacher Reg in the State you need First Aid? Anything else for the private schools save for being a Christian? Berian |

Re: VIT Registration
First Aid isn't needed for VIT regsitration but is needed by the education department and is the start of a whole new ball game. :D

What you need first aid to teach in state schools as part of VIT or is it just preferable on a CV?

Re: VIT Registration
The job is probably key.:)
Out of interest what's you area so to speak? I'm ICT and DT here in the UK and prospects seem good. I was in Oz just last summer visiting schools on a short term exchange and Brit teachers are to some extent sought after - depends on the Head of course!:huh: Bezza |
