@tine hi, same situation kayo ng kapatid ko. she finished another course then nag 18 units educ, prc board passer din xa kaso hindi din xa ng practicum kc nung nagaaral xa ng educ units, teacher na xa. Mejo tricky kc may requirement ang AITSL (assessing authority for teachers in australia) about the 45 days practicum and at least 1 yr or equivalent of initial teacher education.
I called AITSL to enquire about the situation they told me that 45 day practicum is required so not sure kung panu masasatisfy ung requirement na yun kung hindi ka nagpracticum. kc worst case scenario, they can decline your skill assessment application kpg di sila satisfied na na-meet mo ung requirements.
to answer your question, first step is to get a positive skills assessment from AITSL based on your nominated occupation eto ung website nila..
https://www.aitsl.edu.au
may mga requirements na dapat mong i-submit for skills assessment (e.g. ielts, passport, etc.). dapat positive ung result ng skills assessment then saka ka maglodge ng EOI. Please note that while waiting for skills assessment, igather mo ung other docs na needed to support yung points na gusto mo iclaim sa EOI. Wag ka muna magsu-submit ng EOI hanggat di kumpleto ung documents mo including assessment kc once na ma-select ang EOI mo, you only have 60 days to lodge a visa application.
to answer your 2nd question, you do not need to register for any state to teach para mkapagpa assess ka. If you want to work as a pre-school teacher then need mo ng registration to teach sa state na yun. I am not sure but you may need to do a bridging study sa state to be able to register as a teacher, if early childhood ang line mo, maraming bridging courses na available at recognised ng state para makapg teach ka. Its best na makapunta ka muna dito sa oz then while here you can study a bridging course for early childhood.
also note that, if you nominate early childhood as your occupation for visa application purposes, you do not need to work in that occupation.
