All teachers in the primary, post-primary and further education sectors must register with the Teaching Council in order to be paid a salary by the State. Full details on the registration process can be found here teachingcouncil.ie.
The Teaching Council considers applications from teachers who qualified outside Ireland if they are fully qualified in their home country. Registration in Ireland, where granted, may be subject to conditions and you may need to do some additional training.
Teachers who qualified in an EU member state are entitled to have their qualifications recognised in Ireland.
The Department of Education provides opportunities for professional development for teachers in a broad range of areas. Click here for more information.
The PDST is the country’s largest single support service offering professional learning opportunities to teachers and school leaders in a range of pedagogical, curricular and educational areas.

The Migrant Teacher Project aims to increase the participation of Immigrant Internationally Educated Teachers (IIETs) in Irish primary and post-primary schools. The project was established by Marino Institute of Education and it is co-funded by the Department of Justice and the Department of Education. The project provides information, advice and training to migrant teachers who have qualified outside of Ireland, to help them to continue their profession in Ireland.
