Master of Teaching Practice (Primary Education)

If you have completed any of your initial teacher education program studies outside of Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada or the Republic of Ireland, you are required to complete an English language competency test accepted by the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), such as the IELTS Academic Module or the ISLPR Professional/Teacher Registration Module.

For the IELTS Academic Module, you must achieve the following scores: Speaking – 8.0, Listening – 8.0, Reading – 7.0, and Writing – 7.0. You must reach the required score in each skill area regardless of your overall band score.

Test results are valid for two (2) years from the date listed on the certificate issued by the accredited testing centre.

Yes, the VIT accepts IELTS One Skill Retake results, which allow you to retake any one component of the test without having to retake the full test. However, this option is only available if you book the component within 60 days of undertaking the initial test and your delivery format is 'IELTS on a computer'.

No, the VIT does not accept IELTS Online test results. The IELTS must be taken at a test centre with the delivery format of either 'IELTS on a computer' or 'IELTS on paper'.
