Private Tutors and Teachers nec is a VETASSESS Group B occupation

Group B

This occupation necessitates a qualification equivalent to an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Bachelor degree or higher, ideally in a field closely related to the nominated occupation. Additionally, applicants must have at least one year of relevant employment at an appropriate skill level within the last five years following their qualification. If the employment does not follow the qualification, an additional five years of highly relevant work experience are required.

If the degree is not in a closely related field, applicants need three years of employment at an appropriate skill level within the last five years, which is highly relevant to the nominated occupation. This requirement can be reduced to two years if they possess an additional AQF Diploma level qualification in a closely related field.

For those whose employment is not post-qualification, an extra five years of relevant work experience are needed, in addition to at least one year of highly relevant employment within the past five years.

A positive assessment of both qualifications and employment is necessary to achieve a positive Skills Assessment Outcome.

    Employment information

    The ANZSCO requirements for Unit Group 2492 Private Tutors and Teachers pertain to applicants employed by private education providers, delivering specialized education or training outside of mainstream school curricula. Therefore, our assessment criteria for Private Tutors and Teachers specify that applicants must work within a private tuition institution or teach subjects not primarily included in standard school curricula. Occupations within Minor Group 241 School Teachers, who educate across pre-primary to secondary and special education settings, are classified elsewhere in ANZSCO.

    Applicants whose teaching aligns with official school curricula, unless it involves supplementary tutoring, are not considered under Private Tutors and Teachers occupations. This applies to both generalist and specialist teachers, as they fall under Minor Group 241 School Teachers.

    Compare the ANZSCO definitions below:

    Primary School Teachers (ANZSCO 2412) instruct primary school students in various subjects according to a set curriculum, fostering the students’ social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth.

    Secondary School Teachers (ANZSCO 2414) educate secondary school students in one or more subjects following a structured curriculum, while also supporting their social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development.

    Private Tutors and Teachers (ANZSCO 2492) instruct students in the practical, theoretical, and performance aspects of subjects like art, dance, drama, and music within private training institutions.

    According to ANZSCO, Primary and Secondary School Teachers follow a set curriculum when teaching, whereas Private Tutors and Teachers do not adhere to a prescribed curriculum.
