How long does it take to hear back after applying?

What qualifications are required for a HOD Science?
Most HOD Science roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply.
