Bachelor of Teaching and Learning (Preservice)

This course prepares students to be teachers in early childhood, primary, middle schooling or Vocational Education and Training sectors (VET in Schools).

It is also suitable for preparing students to work at senior levels within the non-school early childhood education and care sector.

Students interested in senior secondary teaching should select one of the combined degree options.

This course meets both national and local need for teachers of exemplary practice committed to enhancing educational outcomes for all children and young adults.

It emphasises improving the teaching-learning relationship in the classroom, raising awareness of issues surrounding Indigenous education and developing an informed, evidence-based approach to learning and teaching in early childhood, primary, middle school and VET settings.

People with a trade qualification and experience in a relevant industry who are interested in teaching at secondary and VET level can apply to have their experience and previous qualification recognised and fast-tracked for a VET in Schools qualification.

Note:

Full Advanced Standing of 140 credit points is only available to tradespeople with five years experience and a Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training with experience preferred at the supervisory level of one year.
