Laurenbardgett Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hey poms I have a three year teaching degree from England that isnt recognised here as it needs to be four. I have been chatting to a lady at Murdoch uni who will put together a one year conversion course to then allow me to become registered as a teacher. Would anyone else be interested as she cant just run it for one person but will if there is a few more people! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Surely such courses already exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I am not sure why she has advised you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare really x You could always do a unit at a time over a couple of years or so. Student loans are only available to citizens, PR's cannot obtain them either.
