Is IELTS required for ACECQ assessment if you have Diploma awarded by an recognised institution in A

GailElouise2023

Good day to all,

Thank you in advance for helping me.

My degree is in Business Management, however, I took units of Education in Philippines and passed to board exam as Secondary Teacher.

7 years ago, I finished my Diploma in Early Childhood Education ( a bridging program) awarded by a recognised training/vocational institution in Australia (AIWT). Using that diploma, I'm currently working in Singapore as an Early Childhood teacher for 6 years now.

I want to try my luck in Australia as an Early Childhood Educator?

My questions are:

1.Do I still need to take IELTS for ACECQA assessment?

Is it possible to get a work visa in Australia considering my background?

Thank you so much for your kind reply. It's really a big help.

Kind regards,

Gail Elouise

In general, proof of English proficiency (through an English language skills exam) is required for GSM. It wasn't required for my occupation when I assessed with VETASSESS, but from the official ACECQA site, it says:

"Evidence of English language proficiency (only for applicants who do not currently hold an NQF approved qualification)" - https://www.acecqa.gov.au/qualifications/migration-skills-assessment

Looking up NQF, this is the site I find: https://www.acecqa.gov.au/qualifications/nqf-approved?list=1381 Try searching for the Australian institution that awarded your ECE diploma there?
