Scottish Catholic Teachers Cert (CREDO) can I teach R.E. in Ireland?

    Hi everyone,
    I undertook the Scottish Teachers Education Certificate as part of my PGDE in English at Glasgow University. I'm officially qualified to teach R.E. In Scotland, with a cert to prove it.

    The Teaching Council has rejected my claim to have R.E. as an official subject on my registration. Yet, my UK GTTR registration lists R.E.

    My subjects are only English and History, have I a valid claim to try again?
    or should I just do the part-time R.E. Diploma in Maynooth to fix this. It’s a hefty 3,000... but most of the jobs listed this year seem to be English with R.E.
    not History. Would it boost my job prospects?


    Any advice on the matter welcomed :)

    Elaine

    you answered your own question I'm afraid. However you could do the cert but next year it could be all eng and history jobs...... More subjects the better though
