MIGRATION ASSESSMENT
Match the assessing authority and evidence to the nominated occupation
Primary and Secondary School Teacher
AITSL assesses the qualification and English criteria. Initial teacher education and supervised teaching practice must relate to the nominated teaching stage; employment does not replace a non-qualifying course.
