Filipino Teachers in Australia

Cheryllu

Good morning po,

Pupuwede kaya akong mag apply sa primary grades if my bachelor is in secondary education pero experience ko is in primary grades for 9 years? But I took up a masters degree in Early Childhood Education

@Cheryllu

Are you talking about applying for a job? Or getting assessed for migration? If it is the second one, you might want to try out getting assessed for Pre-Primary Teacher instead, because Primary Teacher is NOT on the Skilled Occupations List.

Hi all, my wife is a montessori teacher, pre school. Is it possible for her to apply there in aussie?

Hello! I am new here. Although, I've read some comments here and I think have been really helpful on giving me background info about getting a job or moving to Aus, I am still confused and lost. hehe

I want to move to Aus, and where do I start? I have been teaching for years - 3 years in kindergarten and 4 years as SPED teacher. A graduate of BS Psych and currently finishing my MA psych (will graduate this first sem). I lack teaching units too, and will enroll in PNU for CTP and hopefully acquire teaching license by April next year.

Hope to hear from anyone soon. Thank you! 🙂

Hello! I am currently working in a montessori preschool/childcare centre in Australia. It would be advantageous for your wife to have the necessary specialised experience if she's planning to work in a montessori centre in Australia as well.

Anyway, yes, it's possible for her to apply as long as she has the qualifications for it. The first step is to take the IELTS (PTE and TOEFL are not accepted) with a score of at least 8.0 in Speaking and Listening and at least 7.0 in Reading and Writing. When she's done with that, the steps will generally be similar to other Visa 189/190 applications:

Assessment through AITSL
EOI through SkillSelect
Lodge visa after receiving invitation to apply
Wait for visa grant

@lululucil

Hello! In your case, you should probably wait to get teaching units because the AITSL assessment will require you to have a teaching degree and teaching practicum. After that, you could proceed with taking the IELTS and the rest of the steps in applying for a visa. Otherwise, you might want to check if Psychologist is in the list of Skilled Occupations List so you can apply for that instead of teaching.

Hello. My wife is planning to apply as an early childhood teacher. We're currently working in Singapore and she's working as an early childhood teacher also at the same time she's trying to finish her diploma in early childhood psychology. One thing is not very clear, she has no degree nor diploma in early childhood, will she be able to qualify for early childhood assessment, if not any other options we need to take? Please help to enlighten us so we can start with our journey into a lifetime.

Hello, fellow teachers! I'm looking for a school I can apply in that gives sponsorship to overseas applicants. I just got an approved qualification from ACECQA, however, I'm still in the Philippines.

Hello teachers! Ano po requirements para makapag apply as preschool teacher sa Oz? I declared my wife as my dependent in our visa application, but hnd na po kami nag claim ng point at nagpa assess for her, since ako po main applicant. She's a childcare teacher for 7 years, BECED graduate..salamat po sa sasagot

@sunflower hey! Thanks for the reply. Does it have to be educ degree? Or the certificate program would suffice na? Re my elligibility to take LLET, I just need 12 educ units. Pwede na ba yun? Or should i really need to get the 18 units so it can be additional advantage for me AITSL?

IF i need to get educ degree, pwede na ba na kahit dito lang sa pinas? I dont need to study in Aus anymore? Super thanks!!

Re the practicum -- can my7 yrs in teaching would count? thanks again! 🙂

@jayCee @haunter08

The AITSL requirements for Pre-Primary School Teacher Assessment for Migration are as follows:

Four years full-time (or part-time equivalent) university level study
45 days of supervised teaching practice with students across the ages of birth to 8 years
English Language Proficiency (minimum of IELTS 7.0 for Reading and Writing, 8.0 for Speaking and Listening)

Source: http://www.aitsl.edu.au/assessment-for-migration

So if you cannot satisfy all of those requirements, you will not be given a positive assessment for that occupation.

@lululucil

If you do decide to get an Educ degree, yes, pwede namang sa Pinas. And no, 7 years of teaching experience is NOT counted kasi hindi yun <b class="Bold">supervised</b> teaching practice.

mugsy27

@sunflower ung supervised teaching practice, eto ba ung practing teaching? ( na parang OJT din ng mga teachers?) thx

sunflower

@mugsy27

Yes, 45-days (or equivalent) of supervised teaching practice/practice teaching/OJT. 🙂

mugsy27

Hi everyone!

I am a high school teacher here in the PH planning to migrate to Australia. At the end of the year, I'll have 3 full years of work experience in teaching secondary level. I'm now planning to take the IELTS soon. If ever I get a good IELTS score (let's say 8 on all-very optimistic hehe), what options are open to me to enter as an immigrant?

Thank you so much!

Hello!

I am also an ECE teacher. I want to process my 189 visa application on my own. Education and employment history are straightforward, no complications and no dependents. Do you think I still need an agent? Just weighing my options because compared to ofher fields like IT or Engineering, there are less posts about Education specifically Early Childhood educators. I would appreciate your opinion.

Thanks!

sunflower

@caienri

The process is definitely doable even without an agent, especially since you mentioned that there are no complications in your situation. Basically ang gagawin lang ng agent for you is to submit your requirements/application. Just do some research about the process, they're all here in the forum or there are posts in this thread as well: http://pinoyau.info/discussion/6134/early-chilhood-teachers-in-au

If you have further questions, feel free to ask us here. 🙂

Hello,

We got our PR visa 190 already. My wife is a teacher. How can she possibly teach in AU? What are the requirements in getting a teaching job? Thanks

sunflower

@AspireAU21

Congratulations on getting your 190 visa! 🙂

There are different (but similar) processes depending on which state you are going to live in. In Queensland, the process will be:

Complete teacher registration through Queensland College of Teachers (there are different registration bodies, depending on the state)
Apply for a blue card
Apply for a job

In my case, I applied for teacher's registration months before I was granted a visa and months before I migrated to Australia since the process takes a few months (5 months, in my case before my teacher's registration was granted).

Also, is your wife applying as an Early Childhood, Primary School or Secondary School Teacher?

AspireAU21

@sunflower Thanks for the reply!

Early childhood po.. Kelangan po ba yung AITSL standard ng IELTS? Nahirapan kasi sya kunin yung score.

sunflower

@AspireAU21

Yes, same score requirements as AITSL: at least 8.0 in Speaking and Listening and at least 7.0 in Reading and Writing. Otherwise, another option is for her to forego with the teacher's registration and just study a Cert III or Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care / Children's Services and work as an assistant/educator in a childcare centre instead of a Kindergarten teacher.
