As part of your PME application, you are required to complete a declaration form for all subjects you are qualified to teach and which you are seeking to have recorded on the Teaching Council’s Register of Teachers. Teaching Council regulations stipulate that in addition to holding a Level 8 degree (or equivalent) on the Irish National Framework of Qualifications, you must meet the requirements for at least one post-primary curricular subject.

Applicants commencing a PME in 2024 and applying to register with the Council in 2026, will be required to meet revised Curricular Subject Registration Requirements. The requirements for all qualifying subjects are set out below.

  • Click on the subject(s) of your choice and complete the form online.
  • Please ensure that all details on the form are correct, that you hold a Level 8 degree (or equivalent) and the requisite total number of ECTS credits in the relevant subject.
  • Print the form, sign it and return it with the other documentation requested to the PME provider(s)* to which you have applied. This form should not be returned to the Teaching Council.

*Where applications have been made to the four NUIs, this form should be returned to the Postgraduate Applications Centre (PAC).
