rikamarie Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 A heads up to Early Childhood teachers: I found out this week that before an Early Childhood Centre can employ you, your qualifications need to be assessed by The Australian Childrens Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) http://www.acecqa.gov.au/Assessment-of-equivalent-early-childhood-educator-qualificationsThis unfortunately cost around $2000! I won't be able to afford it from RSA, so the plan is then either to get a job at a private school / primary school or to work as an educator's assistant and have the assessment done once we land in Aus. We have $$ in our commonwealth bank account that I can use.Must admit I am a bit down about this! Wished I'd known sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBrough Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Sorry to hear, that is a ridiculous amount of money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zya Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 AlBrough it feels like everything is just a money making scheme! Good luck, hope everything works out for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikamarie Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks guys! I'm convinced all will work out, even if I have to start again at the bottom as an assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikamarie Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yippee!! Good news!! I made a mistake on the fees for the assessment! It is $102 and not $2000 like thought! Yippee!! Never in my life have I been so glad to make a mistake!And more good news! I have an interview at Buggles Early Learning centre. They said they'll schedule it for early January after we land in Oz, so by that time my assessment is also complete and they can proceed according to my assessment results! Excellent news! I am so happy about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traviscarlson Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hi, Anyone for tips and job prospects for wood-and metalwork teachers. Is there a need for woodwork teachers. Regards. Travis Carlson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drought Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Whenever an advertisement has gone out out for a D & T ( Design and Technology- wood, metal, jewellery all fall under this category) teacher, there has been a real shortage of applications- generally wood and metal teachers can make more money working in their trade area; so it is difficult to get them into teaching. The guys who do teach though, tend to stay in the job until they become part of the furniture ( ) so not too many jobs are advertised. right place, right time....
