    Hi,
    I'm qualified and teaching in Scotland at the minute. Looking at coming home during the summer. I've been checking out the tc website and from what I gather I have to apply and see if my qualification is up to scratch, supply them with copies of these qualifications then pay them some money and hope for the best. Anyone any experience of the process? Somebody is adamant I have to do some history of teaching exam or something but I can't find anything on their website about this?

    Everything you mentioned there is true.

    Your degree and PGCE need to be appraised, you need to begin your registration process and a part of that is to complete the History and Structure of Irish Education exams as it's said to be a "shortfall" in your PGCE. Until you complete and pass this exam, the most you can get is provisional registration.
    It;s an expensive process, around €300 for the appraisal of your quals, around €100 for the H&S exam and another €65 per year for the registration.

    If you need notes for the H&S exam, pm me your emaill address.
    Hope this helps

    I did the PGCE in Cardiff in 2006 and had to jump through all those same hoops.

    I registered last year. It takes ages, when I spoke to the lady on the phone she said my college was on the approved course list. I haven't sone that exam yet though. I'm currently in London but coming home in the summer too. I'm trying to work on my irish which I'm finding hard.

    Luckily I don't have to do the Irish, as I'm secondary but best of luck with it. I think you have 3years to do your Irish?
