Transition to full registration

To transition to full registration a provisionally registered teacher must

• complete a minimum of one year (defined as 200 days equivalent) of teaching experience and
• meet the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at the Proficient career stage (PDF, 2.0MB).

The experience may be accumulated in more than one location or school/setting and may include individual days as well as continuous teaching experience.

Eligible teaching experience commences from the date provisional registration was granted.  It must take place in an acceptable setting such as:

• classroom teaching experience in a recognised school in Australia or New Zealand
• delivering an educational program based on a syllabus or kindergarten guideline approved or accredited by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA).

Certain other settings may be acceptable, but you must seek the QCT’s approval when you commence teaching. (Refer to Acceptable other experience for moving to full registration policy)

For information about process, requirements, roles and evidence examples see the Guidelines - Transitioning from provisional to full registration .
