No, Permission to Teach (PTT) is a registration category specific for a role or to address a workplace shortage.  

The employer must endorse the candidate and provide information about the specific position held by the candidate.  

In the case of PTT (COVID-19), the specific role is to provide short term casual support to manage the impacts of COVID-19. The DE (Department of Education) and the MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools) act as the endorsers for each candidate.  

PTT is not a renewable form of registration and is limited to a maximum of 3 years.
