    Hi,

    I am finding it hard to decipher documents relating to my question, so I will keep it quick and simple as I am sure it is a basic question.

    I called the Teaching Council today about registering and getting a Teaching Council number in order to allow me to be employed in the Further Education sector.

    I was told that*:
    If I started my degree course after November, 2009, that I would be able to register and get this council number on the condition that I complete a H.Dip within three years of my registration date.

    Is this true?

    *The more I think about it, the more the wording of what I was told sounds odd and now it is too late to call back today. Did he mean before Nov 2012?

    Thanks!

    EDIT:
    I got my BSc in June 2012, btw.

    Would this answer my question:
    Qualification shortfalls may be identified in undergraduate and/or teaching qualifications and may include shortfalls in curricular subject knowledge; foundation studies in education; subject teaching methodologies; teaching practice; and knowledge of the history and structure of the Irish education system.

    http://www.teachingcouncil.ie/registration/registration-with-conditions.205.html

    However;
    The Council normally grants conditional registration due to qualification shortfalls where an applicant has been fully recognised as a teacher in another jurisdiction. It does not grant conditional registration to applicants who have partially completed a qualification; or who have not previously been recognised as teachers, who have an obvious qualification shortfall at the time of applying. This policy is consistent with European Directive 2005/36/EC.

    Qualification shortfalls are notified to the applicant when they complete the registration process. The conditions imposed and their respective expiry dates are recorded on the register and on the letter confirming registration.
