Hi!

I am a German primary school teacher and together with my husband, I want to emigrate to Australia. We have already started the visa process and I have a possible job offer from a school in Melbourne.

I have a question regarding my work experience and how to state this in the visa application.

In Germany, teacher education consists of two phases:

1. 4 years of university: Bachelor and Master of Education
   **2) 18 months of "apprenticeship": Paid work at a school for 14h/week (teaching independently) and seminars for 8h/week**

After finishing both phases, I have been working as a full-time teacher for 3 years now.

My question is:
**Do the 18 months of apprenticeship count towards my work experience or not?**

Happy to receive any information or practical knowledge (:
