Registered teachers can use small group tutoring completed under the Teacher Learning Initiative (TLI) to meet and maintain practice requirements as outlined below.  

• While private tutoring will not allow provisionally registered teachers (PRTs) to demonstrate all of the standards required to demonstrate proficiency of practice, they can use their experience as a tutor under the Victorian Government's Tutor Learning Initiative to count towards their required 80 days of teaching for an application for full teacher registration. However, tutoring practice will not allow for the demonstration of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) at the proficient teacher level. To demonstrate they have met the Proficient Teacher level of the APST, PRTs must use VIT’s Inquiry process.

• Fully registered teachers (including those with a returning to teach requirement can use their experience as a tutor under the Victorian Government's Tutor Learning Initiative to demonstrate recency of practice (a requirement of annual renewal). 

• Holders of permission to teach (PTT) (Teacher Tutor) can use their experience as a tutor under the Victorian Government's Tutor Learning Initiative to contribute to recency of practice (i.e. 80 days teaching in the past 5 years) requirements for immediate full teacher registration applications.
