Embarking on the teaching career path is a major step! Your experience as a student will probably be very different to the experience of teaching. Over the next few weeks, it would be very beneficial for any potential PME applicants to make contact with their local second level school and find out if there might be an opportunity to shadow and observe some of the DCG, Construction Studies or Engineering / Technology teachers for a few days.

In order to qualify as a second level teacher of Construction Studies you need to meet the requirements set out by the Teaching Council of Ireland. If you meet the required criteria for Construction Studies you will also be deemed to have acquired the competency to teach Materials Technology (Wood) at Junior Cycle. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
