Bachelor
This is a degree with flexibility which offers currently accredited in-service teachers the option of up-skilling to a new sector of teaching, for example, secondary to primary, or primary to secondary. It also allows currently accredited secondary teachers to up-skill to another teaching subject. Finally, it also allows conditionally accredited "three-year-trained" teachers to upgrade to four-year trained.
