   Hi! I graduated Bachelor in Elementary Education majoring General Education and I am on my last term on finishing my Master in Education majoring Educational Leadership. I am currently on my fourth year of teaching (two years in a private university and 2 years in a public school). Will I still need to undergo and finish the two-year study program or I’ll get a shorter study program in Australia?

     Hi Yukta , for advise on PR you would need to book in for a consultation and speak with the registered migration agent about your options. You can book in online through our website for the consultation.

   Hi! I’m from the Philippines. I graduated Doctor of Veterinary Medecine but never had the chance to practice it. I’ve been working as a Language Teacher here in Japan since 2011. I have a 120 hours American TESOL certificate. And I’m planning to enroll the Trinity College TESOL here in Japan or Thailand which is an accredited studies/certificate in the UK and Australia. Would I have a pathyway for immigrant visa in NT or anywhere in Australia?

Then I finished my Diploma in early Childhood education in a state college inthe philippines. Now, i am planning to take a course in cert III and diploma in early childhood education and care in AU. Would the school and Visa officer accept my application? I have been looking at your curriculum amd the curriculum i had in my diploma it seems vwry different tho. Would i still be eligible to take the course? I would really want to take the course becuase i know it is a worldwide accepted education and it will improve my passion in teaching.

    Please let me know. Thank you

    I am from India and planning to migrated Australia with my husband. Being housewife I am looking for a easy job which is of my interest.
    I love kids so child care seems to be a good fit to my interest.
    My questions is: Do I need to have any degree/diploma/course in Childcare to get this job?
    If yes: Can you please help me with the details? How to apply for it? What is the fees and all?
    If no: Can you please help me with other options as well?

    Hi, I am 34yo and interested in studying Early Childhood Education in Australia in order to apply for a 189 Skilled Independent visa. What kind of course/school will allow me to go on toward the pr? Is it possible only through a bachelor degree at a university or also through a college degree? My biggest problem is the money, I’ll need to work while attending school, what is the best solution to that? What is the most affordable school/institute/uni to study in Melbourne?

      Hi Rose,

      If you can show that the leadership and management course is relevant to the occupation of childcare centre manager, then yes this may be possible. In fact, many colleges package the courses this way, however you would usually do the Childcare courses for roughly 1.5 years

    Hi there.

    Please forgive the length if this message.

    I’m 37 years old and graduated in 1996 with a Dip. in Hotel Management. For the past 20 years I have been doing website design and I co-own and manage the company. I would now love to work with Children and start by completing the course that would help me do this and get me on the PR pathway.

    1) Would a 2 year Diploma suffice in getting a job at the course end and allow me to go on towards PR application?

    2) Do I need a higher Degree / Masters etc to be granted PR?

    3) In Melbourne, what is the most affordable Institute / College / Uni to study the necessary course (hopefully someone is offering a 2 year Dip. in Early Childhood Education, if not I will defer to your suggestion)?

    4) Approximately how much in course fees should I be looking at?

    Thank you for any and all help.

    A lovely day to you!
    Melody

    P.S: Not sure if this is a factor but I have a brother-in-law who is an Australia citizen and my sister (his wife) and their children, have full Australian PR and have also lodged their Citizenship application after living and working here for over 10 years.

      So generally speaking this class is done through a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. I imagine that if you want to do the course at a masters level, it would be a masters of education, which is available at most major universities.

    I am interested to in this course. I have studied Bachelor degree in Teaching English for Young Learners. Does that qualifies me to stand a chance to study DECE in Management? I do not have IELTS but does having a Grade A in English in CGE O-Level (SPM 119 English paper) suffice?
    Kindly update me soon. Thank you!

      Hi Loh,

      If you have already studied at a bachelor level in the same field, it could be difficult to study a lower level course. You generally can only study a lower course if it is in a different field.

    Hello. This is Ayra from the Philippines. I have a Bachelors Degree in Business Management. However, I would like to be a Special Needs teacher in Aus. I just like to verify if I’d still need to take a Cert III course before a Diploma course in Early Childhood Education plus Diploma in Management? What other courses can I take to prepare me to become a special needs teacher? Thanks!

      Hey,

      You usually need an IELTS of 5.5 to then potentially receive a CoE from the education provider.
      I will send some info to you now!

    Hi, I am a science graduate and have there after worked for an International Bank for 10 years. An Indian resident off UAE. With this background, what are the chances my application to study . Child Care programme in Australia will be accepted as I do not have any links to Childcare in my experience or education?

      Hi Monteiro,

      When applying for the visa it is important to consider your GTE. India typically is assessed as a high risk country. Which means that we would probably need to show a genuine reason to study this course. Without prior experience or some genuine intention to study the course, it may be difficult for you to get the visa approved.

    Hi, 10 years ago I gained a Bac. degree from an Australia university and stayed there throughout 2 years of completion. Now,I am interested to apply for a migration and would like to ask, is it possible to study just the Cert III of Early Childhood for 6mths,then apply for graduate visa? I am not too keen to go into management but i love kids and have 3 kids of my own. Based on the currect SOL, early childhood teacher is also in the high demand list. Does the previously undertaken 2yrs qualification and a childcare cert able to qualify me for a state sponsored or graduate visa?.
    Please advice.
    Regards,
    Elsea

      Hi Elsea,

      What was your bachelor degree in? You would generally need to study at the diploma of early childhood education and care. This usually takes around 18 months to complete.

      If your bachelor degree was in education you could be eligible.

      Regards

      Yes if you could get the visa, you should be able to study in Aus. If you study in Aus for 2 years, you may be able to get 5 points for study in Aus.
