If you're successfully selected, you will be posted to a school for contract teaching. This can range from 6mths to a year because if you're posted to schools after August, you would have missed the start of the PGDE in July. Note that July 2016 PGDE intake is the last cohort which will last 1 year; from Dec onwards it will be 16 mths.

You'll be paid - GEO 2 (Untrained) pay, depending on your class of honours.

Do note that your Principal will have the final say of whether you'll go to NIE. Some contract teachers leave MOE because they are found unsuitable for teaching or they do not want to continue teaching.
