Teacher Graduates 2009
All primary and secondary teachers, and principals (who have previously been employed as a teacher) working in government, Catholic and independent schools, are required by law to be registered with the Institute.
If you are due to complete a teacher education course in 2009 and intend to teach in a Victorian primary, secondary or special education school, you need to apply for registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching.
To apply, you are required to complete Form A - Application for Registration (PDF - 1.4 MB), and submit it to the Institute. When you receive your final year transcripts, have certified copies made and forward them to the Institute to be placed in your file.
If your university participates in the automatic transfer of results to the VIT, and you have submitted a signed consent form by the due date, you will not be required to provide your teacher education transcripts to the VIT.
Please note: Your registration will be finalised only when you provide all required documents. You are not eligible to teach unless you have been granted Provisional or Full Registration or Permission to Teach. These categories of registration cannot be considered until transcripts have been received and assessed by the Institute.
Applying for registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching
You may download Form A and print a copy to fill in by hand. Alternatively, you can enter the information electronically on screen, which can then be printed, signed and the required documentation attached.
Form A may also be obtained from the Institute by ringing 1300 888 067. Some universities will have copies of the application. Please contact your Faculty Office for advice.
