Teaching Council Recognition

    I have recently become aware that my qualification is only recognised by the Teaching Council for teaching business and not also accounting and economics as I originally thought. Considering the jobs market is already tough as it is, trying to get a job with only business could be near impossible but I really feel passionate about getting into teaching and dont want to give up.
    My question is, how important is teaching council recognition? Is it possible to get a 'foot in' with only one subject and then teach others? Or is it a necessity to have recognition for all subject you teach?

    Principal told us all today to sort out our registration/garda vetting as Dept wont be paying non registered teachers next sept (dunno if this is from a circular though so could be not 100% kosher).
    I'd say register away with the one subject, after that it's up to the school to allocate to you whatever subjects they see fit. Of course other teachers might be a bit miffed if you get hours considering you're 'unqualified'.

    Yes technically, but ya gotta beat off the competition too!! (Do you have pull eh?)

    No but it'd be nice. Might come down the line in future though.

    Thanks for the reply! Bit of a sticky situation, I really want to get into to teaching but i'm cautious about forking out the €€€'s for a PGDE then to find i'm practically unemployable with only one subject :/ damn council...

    When I was doing my HDip I only had recognition for one subject and was allowed to have full registration. I luckily got a full time job after it and have subsequently qualified in a second subject. So it is possible, but I wouldn't really recommend it at the moment because getting a job with 2 subjects is unlikely, never mind only having one!
