Following the recent news that AITSL now accepts IELTS score-pooling (for full details, see: Language Requirements for the Teaching Skills Assessment Just Got Easier! AITSL Now Accepts IELTS Score-Pooling!), many overseas teachers have started asking how teachers can migrate to Australia.

Yet the answer many of them receive is: Australia does not recognise qualifications and work experience gained in China or overseas, so you need to come to Australia and first study a teaching programme, then obtain the corresponding teaching skills assessment, and finally migrate to Australia through one of the various pathways.

So, do all teachers really have to start again from scratch?

No, no, no!

It depends on what kind of teacher you are. Teachers in China can in fact qualify directly on the strength of their China-based teaching experience，while staying overseas and complete a teaching skills assessment！

Today we share the teaching skills assessments that require no English test score, and which teachers in China have the opportunity to obtain a skills assessment from overseas and migrate to Australia directly.
