The Teaching Council is the statutory body with responsibility for professional standards at all stages of the teaching career. It has established standards for post-qualification professional practice, as set out in Droichead, the new model of induction and probation for newly qualified primary and post-primary teachers.

As such, individuals in the scenario outlined by the Deputy should get in touch with the Teaching Council to ascertain their requirements for registration.

It should be noted that where an individual holds full registration with a competent authority in another EU state that the EU Directive 2005/36/EC applies. This directive deals with the recognition of professional qualifications across EU states and allows a fully registered teacher in one state to be eligible for registration in another EU state following qualification assessment.
