He can expect to get slightly more than the indicative range for GEO1 Dip
$1,800 - $2,350.

With his years of exp, probably about 2500.

He will be paid while studying in NIE, but he has to serve a bond of 3 years.
Diploma in Ed - 2 years. PGDE - 16 months.

He does not have a degree so he can only go for Diploma in Ed? Don't think he can go pdge. So during NIE, he will get abt $2000+ monthly?

Not sure. Depends on the offer by NIE. Suggest to just go for the interview and see what the outcome is or ask during the interview.
