Working at NSW AMES

NSW AMES welcomes students and staff from around the world into our teaching centres and head office. NSW AMES values, respects and supports diversity of age, ability, sex and sexuality, marital status, race and religion.

Teaching and administrative vacancies within NSW AMES are advertised periodically in the Public Sector Notices, the general press and on-line.

For teaching positions NSW AMES requires teachers to have:

A recognised Bachelor Degree - a formal qualification awarded by an Australian university or tertiary institution, or its onshore or overseas equivalent that is at least three years full-time in length or its part-time equivalent and a recognised postgraduate TESOL qualification - resulting from a course of study in which course content of no less than 100 contact hours (or distance learning equivalent) covers the grammar of the English language, language learning and TESOL methodology and includes a practicum

or

A Bachelor of Education with a TESOL major or equivalent which includes a practicum

NOTE:
The practicum must be at least 60 hours which includes, for example, supervised teaching, observation, field visits, resources evaluation, team teaching, volunteer tutoring etc. If a course undertaken has less than 60 hours practicum, teachers must demonstrate teaching experience equivalent to 60 hours, or must make up the difference in duration by individually organising a supervised practicum. Appropriate documentation of such a practicum should be kept.

and

Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAA04) or equivalent or be able to demonstrate equivalent competencies.

Teachers with qualifications originating from countries other than Australia
Teachers holding qualifications from overseas institutions should show a statement of equivalence from AEI-NOOSR (formerly the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition).
