Are you a working teacher looking to update or add to your qualifications?
The Graduate Certificate in Teaching is recognised as an additional teaching qualification in schools around Australia. It is a flexible but intensive course which includes 25 days of school-based advanced professional practice. You will gain a solid base for further study at the Master level. As this degree is designed for working teachers, you can undertake it part-time.
To complete a Graduate Teaching Certificate, you must have relevant studies in the teaching specialisation you wish to enrol in. You must also be teaching at a school that will allow you to undertake advanced professional practice, as we do not find suitable schools for this placement.
Completing this degree will give you accreditation with the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES); you will be prepared for employment with the Department of Education and Training, independent schools and other organisations.
Practising secondary teachers wanting to update or add an additional teaching area to their formal pre-service qualifications will benefit from this degree.
