Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching

Entry Requirements

Australian bachelor's degree or equivalent

AND

Students must be ‘teaching’ in a tertiary classroom - as broadly as that may be interpreted.

OR

Students without an undergraduate degree may be admitted to the Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching on the basis that they are being employed to teach within a tertiary education institution or with consideration of appropriate professional expertise within a discipline.

The below is an alternative option. Relevant professional experience includes those who are currently working in education-related fields and teachers holding alternative qualifications.

Course Details

A Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching focuses on current theories and methods of education, emphasising blended approaches to learning. It delivers a student-centred approach to curriculum design and delivery, stronger communication and the ability to execute education research programs.

This course is unique in its ‘practice-first’ approach, and in the depth of learning about the higher education context. You will collaborate and innovate with a group of likeminded peers through the online learning environment, and through innovative folio and project-based assessment tasks. This is not an accredited Australian Initial Teacher Education course and therefore does not qualify the student to teach in Australia.
