what paths to post primary teacher?

bovril · 2018-01-09 09:43:08

I am an Information Technology professional with an honours Degree in IT and 17 years industry experience in IT. I currently work as a senior software engineer. I have read recently that there is a shortage of post primary teachers in the STEM subjects. What are my options for a career change to be a post primary teacher…

It is an applicants responsibility to ensure that they qualify for at least one subject so the university don't care. I think you have to check your subject and tick a box confirming that you can register. This wasn't there when I applied a few years ago hence there was an engineering student who wouldn't register for any subject so it's taking PAC/the university out of the firing line when the student can't register. I did the dip not fully registered for my other subject but I was doing further study and the education department were aware so I taught my other subject during TP. It's a long time since I looked at the registration for the PME.
