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.
