    I am currently doing a PGCE in Primary education in England. I would like to return to Ireland to do my probation period. Is this still possible or will I have to do the NQT year in the UK?

    Thanks in advance.

    It depends on when you started your PGCE. See this: http://www.teachingcouncil.ie/_fileupload/Teacher%20Education/cl0047_2011.pdf, section 15.3:
    The Teaching Council issued a notice on 19 May 2010 informing persons who intended to commence a teacher education qualification in another EU/EEA member state from 1 January 2011 onwards that they must also complete any period of post-qualification professional practice (for example, NQT or induction year) and be fully recognised/registered under the terms of Directive 2005/36/EC by the designated authority of that member state prior to seeking registration with the Teaching Council in Ireland. This notice from the Teaching Council does not change arrangements for persons who have commenced a teaching qualification outside of Ireland prior to 31 December 2010.
