Hello gurus in the house!

Thankful to everyone who has contributed to this thread and would be contributing. The information shared has been extremely helpful, encouraging and insightful, especially for we PR hopefuls.

But, I have an ask and would appreciate answers and feedbacks.

I have an NCE and a Bachelor's degree in education qualifications, and would want to evaluate them both under ICAS for the EE pool as a secondary teacher, as I have over 3 years of paid experience too. Can I claim two or more certificates using both in order to boost my CRS points? Or would the evaluating body recognise it as one?

Note: Both programs were studied for 3 years each.

Hello gurus in the house!

I will appreciate an explanation and further clarification as regards the skills assessment of teachers by AITSL, because I am stuck on my findings/research and do not know how else to proceed.

Firstly, I have two certificates in Business Education as a Secondary school teacher; NCE and B.Sc(Ed), with the latter from UNN, however, I have what I fear might be a loophole, as my B.Sc(Ed) which is a double honors certificate was undergone for a period of 3 years, which stemmed as a result of having a prior NCE certification, which was also studied for a period of 3 years.

Now, my questions:
•Will I be able to assess my qualifications for a positive response with AITSL, using my B.Sc(Ed) which was studied for 3 years, cos my transcript actually shows my years of study as 3 years as against 4? Coupled with the factors of AQF and the Tier 1 and 2 grading system, do I tend to stand a chance?

•Or, will I have to upload both the transcripts of my NCE and B.Sc(Ed), to make it up for the missing one year?

•Or, should I simply undergo a PGDE programme, to augment my B.Sc(Ed), and cover up for the loophole?

I haven't written the English proficiency test (IELTS), however I am willing to give it a shot and I am optimistic that I will scale through.

I also have over 3 years experience as a teacher, post-graduation.

If there's any one who's had an experience of this or know someone with a first-hand information as regards this matter, I will really appreciate your help and advice.
