    I have finished a Level 8 degree in history and Irish. Is it possible for me to "sub" in secondary schools (and more importantly get paid for it) while I undertake a part time Masters. I am very confused about Teaching Council registration, so would appreciate if someone can advise me please.

    No not now and you need to be a registered teacher with the teaching council to sub.
    There are hundreds of qualified teachers who simply can't get work, schools won't and can't to the best of my knowledge employ unqualified people

    The short answer is No because you are not a teacher.

    No you cannot. There are hundreds of teachers who cannot sub/find work. You would need to qualify as a teacher which is a two year masters programme.

    There's little to be confused about TC reg- you qualify as a teacher and hence can register and get work. Same as doctor, solicitor......
