    In the requirements set out by the teaching council it states ;

    Applicants must provide officially certified evidence of satisfactory achievement in primary degree studies (or equivalent) and training-in-teaching as outlined hereunder:
    • The study of Art and/or Design as a specialist degree extending over at least three years
    • History and Appreciation of Art and/or Design studied throughout the course as an integral part of the degree
    • First year degree study in Art and/or Design to provide the breadth of knowledge essential to teaching the subject at post-primary level
    • The methodology and practice of teaching Art in the post-primary school as an essential part of the training-in-teaching course
    • Competence in the safe use of tools and equipment in the teaching of practical aspects of Art in a school workshop environment
    • Explicit details of standards achieved in degree studies in Art and/or Design with at least an overall Pass result in the examinations
    • Recognition to teach Art to the highest level in post-primary education also confers recognition to teach Art, Craft, Design at Junior Certificate level.

    Additional information (i) where greater clarity is requested or (ii) which would otherwise more fully support the application must be provided as required.

    First year degree study in Art and/or Design to provide the breadth of knowledge essential to teaching the subject at post-primary level

    I am a qualified secondary school geography teacher with a degree in geography and art history. I hope to teach art also at second level.

    In accordance with the teaching council requirements above, if I complete first year in a degree course of art and/or design does this mean I am eligible to teach it at second level?
