Transform your undergrad degree into a teaching qualification

If you have a Bachelor’s degree in a non-education field, this course gives you the opportunity to learn to teach primary school students. It is an intensive program where the knowledge, understandings and skills required to teach young learners are developed over a twelve-month period.

Take on a new career challenge

This course allows you to qualify to work in government and non-government schools and other education roles around the world. In some Australian states, you’ll need at least two years of professional pre-service education before you can teach. You will need to check the requirements in your own state.

Gain practical experience in a range of placements

As you progress through this course, you’ll be involved in a range of practical placements. These will increase in intensity over the course of your degree, so you can adjust to working in classrooms and gradually take on more responsibility.
