Overview

Study the fast-tracked, online Graduate Certificate in Teaching (Primary Education) to prepare for a career in children's programs or as teacher support. This course is a stepping stone towards a masters degree and teacher registration. 

Our online program provides an introduction to the principles and practices of teaching children. While the certificate doesn't qualify you to teach in schools, it opens the door to a range of roles that support children in their learning. It also prepares you for the Master of Teaching (Primary Education), which leads to teacher registration.

You will develop foundational knowledge in:
  • education concepts that underpin teaching strategies
  • learning design that meets students' diverse needs
  • practical approaches to teaching language and literacy (reading, writing, comprehension)
  • models for teaching children maths (measurement, geometry, statistics and probability)
  • research methods for sourcing and understanding education resources.

Prerequisites

Bachelor Degree: Completion of an Australian Bachelor degree (or equivalent).

Potential Career Outcomes

You'll graduate with skills and knowledge that will let you work in a range of learning settings, including:
  • teacher support
  • holiday and after-school programs
  • creative learning programs
  • disability support.
Once you have finished, you can apply to enter a masters course like the Master of Teaching (Primary Education). The masters will allow you to apply for registration to teach in schools
