    Hey there,

    I need some advice. Im looking into doing secondary school teaching. Could anybody tell me how I would go about doing that.
    I have a BSc Nursing (general) degree, would that be in any way useful? Where do I start? What course do I take. Are there part time courses?

    HELP!!! :confused:

    You're probably better off asking in the dedicated Teaching and Lecturing forum :)

    I think your degree should be on the curricuum for junior cert/ leaving cert.. and once your degree has been approved you need to do the H Dip in eduacation.#
    The Teaching Council (TC) is the body that registers teachers for second-level schools in the Republic of Ireland. For registration, the TC requires that the following are held: [1] a primary degree that includes, as a substantial component, at least one subject from the list of those taught at Leaving Certificate level and [2] the Postgraduate Diploma in Education. In certain instances individual application must be made to the TC in order to confirm that a degree is recognised for these purposes. This is especially the case for all degrees awarded by universities outside the Republic of Ireland. It is also the case for some degrees awarded within the RoI. While we will make every effort to let you know at the time of your application if we think there may be a problem with your qualification(s) the fact that you have been accepted onto the Postgraduate Diploma in Education course does NOT mean your degree will be recognised for teaching purposes by the TC. You should also be aware of the fact that the process of seeking recognition from the TC can take some time and may be complicated.
    To contact the TC please use the contact information provided at http://www.teachingcouncil.ie

    The link above is the list of approved courses recognised for teaching purposes by the teaching council. There are no nursing degrees on it of any description. I would assume from that, that they are not recognised for teaching purposes. Howeever I would ring the teaching council to confirm this.

    You could always go the Primary Teaching route. Any Level 8 degree will do to get onto the postgraduate course.

    It might also mean that nobody with such a degree has as yet asked them, so I concur with the advice to ring and check.
