At Second level in the CDETB this means that you:
 
  • must hold a recognised degree (or equivalent) in at least one of the subjects on the Leaving Certificate Programme.  The specific requirements are detailed in Memo V7
  • From 1st April 2013 forward, a qualification in post-primary teacher education (1st to 6th Year) will also be required for recognition as a qualified teacher in the CDETB (with the exception in advance of this date where for certain curricular subjects CDETB requires a specific methodology e.g. Art, Physical Education, Home Economics).
