Qualification Question- NOC 4131 College and Other Vocational Instructors

[Harri]

Hi,

I have 3 years latest experience of Language Instructor, before that I had been in Administrative Jobs, I am 40 years of age, got 7 in IELTS, also have 14 years of education.My wife has 16 yaers of education but she is a house wife.

My only doubt is that I do not have any formal degree of Teaching, although I have a large number of students who can write reference letters for me. Also the institute I am teaching in is well known and registered with government.There media campaign is regular in Newspapers, even my name appears on thier adds. Will these proves help? to overcome a non availbility of a formal teaching degree?

I seems to getting 68 Points, with NOC 4131 College and Other Vocational Instructors, but only confused due to formal training or degree.

Can please someone advise me on this.

Thanks a lot.

About requirements at http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2006/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=4131 it says:

* A bachelor's degree, a college diploma or demonstrated expertise in the field of instruction is required.

* A master's degree in the field of instruction may be required.

* A certificate, diploma or degree in adult education may be required.

* For instructors of trades, completion of apprenticeship training and industry or trade certification are required. Additional courses in teaching or a provincial teaching certificate may be required.

So it doesn't say that you must have a formal degree of teaching to qualify for this NOC.

Dear Leon,

I really appreciate your answer which is focused and self explanatory.

Thanks a lot for your guidance.

Hi
For the purpose of immigration, the job requirements listed under job descriptions on the NOC website ARE NOT taken into account. See document OP6 on CIC website. If you have done most of the duties listed, and you can provide proof of that, you will qualify.

I think you should be able to apply under 4131 as "company trainer". My wife has applied under same category as a company trainer but have not got any approval from sydney, ns - they tell you if your job responsibilities match with what they need. It is difficult to prove you job responsibilities in this class as a company trainer, because you need to prove you not not taught , but also prepared and took exams and assignments from 'students', blah blah...which a company trainer don't normally do. Job responsibilities listed under 4131 are more suited for college teachers and less for vocational teachers - who actually are also post secondary teachers and equivalent to college teachers. I would say it is just luck, who reads you application and if he thinks you fall under 4131. I have seen a nursing instructor on this forum who was rejected in this category....
