Proof of supervised teaching practice for Oz visa

4 replies

Hi ladies
I’m trying to apply for an Australian visa, but as well as my PGCE certificate and transcript, they ask for:

Evidence of supervised teaching practice: an official, signed and dated document from the awarding university (required)

As transcripts from unis are impossible to get hold of at the moment, have you any ideas about what to use to fulfil this requirement?

Any ideas greatly appreciated

I had to do this for a New Zealand teaching post. They sent the transcripts through in a few weeks. Is it due to Covid why you aren’t able to access them?

I can probably get a transcript but a letter saying that I did 45+ days of teaching practice - I’m not sure about that.
My uni aren’t picking up the phone (Easter hols perhaps).
The thing is I did my pgce at edge hill college in the Netherlands west but the qualification was actually given by Lancaster uni - the pgce certificate is from them. So I don’t want things to seem complex with one certificate from Lancaster and a letter from edge hill (now a university too!) about my supervised practice.
I’d much rather give references from my 16 years teaching!!!

My observed teaching practice was on my transcripts as it counted towards the credits. That was enough for NZ, might be worth checking to see if it’s included.

Oh thanks @Wowcherarestalkingme
I’ll take another look. The way it was worded suggested to me that it was going to be a separate letter.
Thanks for pointing out something which seems so simple - but when you’re in the depths of visa apps I didn’t think to look at x x
