APPLICATION FOR ASSESSMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS

An assessment of your qualifications enables you to determine whether you meet the Teachers Registration Board of South Australia (the Board), minimum prescribed qualification requirements for registration as a teacher, as determined by the qualification assessment process.

An application to have your qualifications assessed can be submitted to the Board by post from any overseas or Australian location, and at any time as there are no closing dates.  An application cannot be submitted electronically.

The application form can be obtained by contacting the staff of the Teachers Registration Board by telephone on +61 8 8226 2666, or by fax on +61 8 8226 2667, or by email to info@trb.sa.edu.au. Alternatively you may print a copy of the online form.

The qualifications required for registration as a teacher are as follows:
(a)
 an approved teacher education degree, diploma or other qualification awarded on satisfactory completion of a tertiary course of pre-service teacher education in pre-school, primary or secondary education that -
 
  (i) is of at least 4 years’ full-time duration or part-time equivalent duration; and
  (ii) includes a practical student teaching component undertaken at a school or pre-school; or
(b) (i) an approved non-teacher education degree, diploma or other qualification awarded on satisfactory completion of a tertiary course that is of at least 3 years’ full-time duration or
part-time equivalent duration; and
   
  (ii) an approved postgraduate degree, diploma or other qualification awarded on satisfactory completion of a tertiary course of pre-service teacher education in pre-school, primary or secondary education that –
 
   

(A) is of at least 1 year’s full-time duration or part-time equivalent duration; and

(B) includes a practical student teaching component undertaken at a school or pre-school.

The Teachers Registration Board has determined that under these Regulations, the practical student teaching component's duration must be at least 45 days.

If an applicant's practical student teaching component duration is between 30 and 45 days, the Teachers Registration Board would consider recent teaching service to compensate for this shortfall if the applicant provided evidence of at least one year of satisfactory teaching service undertaken within the last three year period.


Your application will be considered by the Board on its merits, and you will be advised in writing of the Board decision.
