Early Registration

Ensure you provide the required documentary evidence prior to graduation. If applicable, you must provide evidence for proof of identity and/or an international record of conviction check during your application.

Please see our fact sheet on certifying your evidence correctly.

Proof of Identity
If you have received a Student Good Character Determination (SGCD) from the Board (to undertake your professional experience) you have already provided proof of identity evidence. You only need to provide additional proof of identity evidence if you have changed your name since the time of your SGCD.

If you have changed your name since your SGCD, you must provide certified copies of documentary evidence of any and all those names. Suitable evidence includes:

• a marriage certificate
• a deed poll
• a divorce certificate/order (decree absolute)
• other name change documentation.

If you are or have been known by a name for which an official name change has not been made, you must provide a statutory declaration clearly stating the name by which you are or have been known.

Proof of qualifications
When you have completed all the course requirements (professional experience and final unit of study), please download an unofficial academic record (from the UTAS Student Centre) and email it to trb@trb.tas.gov.au.

In your email, please confirm that you have completed all the requirements of your degree. We understand that your unofficial academic record may not contain the results for all units studied as these results may be released at a later date.

If you are a Master of Teaching graduate who received their undergraduate degree from another university, you must also provide a certified copy of the full academic transcript(s) of your undergraduate degree indicating that the degree was conferred/awarded.

If you hold any relevant international qualifications, you must provide additional evidence to support your application. Please see our page on Assessment of International Qualifications.

International Record of Conviction Check
If you have lived outside of Australia as an adult for periods of more than one year, the Board requires an international Record of Convictions check (or its equivalent) from the country or countries in which you lived. Please email conduct@trb.tas.gov.au to discuss what documentation is required.

Applicants must provide the required evidence of graduation within their first year of teacher registration. You must provide certified copies of all relevant documentary evidence of your teaching qualifications. Please see our fact sheet on certifying your evidence correctly.

For completed tertiary qualifications

1. A certified copy of the certificate (testamur)
2. A certified copy of the full academic transcript(s) indicating that the award/degree was conferred/awarded

You will receive your testamur at your graduation ceremony. The University of Tasmania has advised us that an academic transcript is normally mailed to students approximately four to eight weeks after graduation.

For applicants who completed their teaching degree as a postgraduate, please ensure you also provide evidence of your undergraduate degree.

For completed vocational qualifications

1. A certified copy of the certificate (testamur)
2. A certified copy of the accompanying statement of results

Australian eQuals
The Board also accepts Australian eQuals. We require:

1. your conferred academic transcript
2. the testamur
3. your Australian Higher Education Graduate Statement.

Please email equals@trb.tas.gov.au with a direct link to your eQuals document(s), and the access PIN (if applicable). We cannot accept eQuals that have been downloaded as a PDF and sent as an attachment.
