Certificate
If you'd like to help school students to reach their potential, or simply learn about educational psychology, inclusive classroom management and different ways of knowing, being and doing in education, then the Undergraduate Certificate in Education (Learning Support) is for you.
This course prepares you for a school-based learning support role, opening up potential opportunities for employment - while also serving as a pathway into a Primary or Secondary Teaching degree, if you choose to continue study towards an accredited teaching qualification.
Study a series of four units that will teach you how to support and facilitate the development and learning of young people in Australian schools. Throughout the course, you will gain foundational knowledge and skills relevant to the education profession and the Australian education system, including a school-based placement in real classrooms with current students and experienced staff.
After successful completion of the course you will be able to step confidently into schooling environments in a variety of rewarding education support roles.
Alternatively, you can apply to join a bachelor's degree course in either primary or secondary teaching - with full credit for the units you have completed.
This flexible short course can be completed in as little as 9 months part-time and (apart from a 10-day classroom-based placement) is completely self-paced and online, so you can set your own study-work-life balance.
There are currently no formal credit transfer arrangements for entry to this course. Any previous study or work experience will only be considered as part of the application process in accordance with current course rules and university policy.
