Hello!
I have a few questions, hope someone can help/advise.
I am already in NZ on a Working holiday visa. (Sept 2011 - Sept 2012)
I am a fully qualified primary teacher, Uk trained.
From what I can gather I need to have quals recognised by the NZQA and also register with teaching council.
NZQA fee: $750
TC fee: $300
Is this correct?
As the process takes 4-6 weeks (if i apply to both simultainiously) is it worth all this for a one year WHV?
If I do have employment can I stay longer than one year, employer sponsored? do they do this for teaching?
Someone also told me if on a WHV you do not need to pay full TC registration....not sure about that.
Can I start applying for 2012 jobs while waiting for recognition?
Sorry for all the questions! I have been here 2 months and cannot find work. My partner is working full time so I am limited to locations. (North Shore based)
Thanks in advance
Sandy
