Course outline

Launch a rewarding career in the education sector with a course that features embedded pathways, real-world opportunities, and extensive practical placements. This is an initial teacher education course usually studied over a period of four years. On successful completion of the course, students will be eligible for employment in primary schools from Prep to Year 6 and in early childhood settings (long day care settings and kindergartens/pre-prep) throughout Australia. In addition to building the professional knowledge and skills required to teach effectively, the course is designed to foster dispositions for engaging in and contributing to the teaching profession through a commitment to ongoing professional learning. For more course information, visit Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood).

Note

To be eligible for teacher registration, students in this course are required to undertake and pass the National Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students (ITE) prior to graduation. This test, referred to as LANTITE, is administered Nationally by the Australian Council of Education Research (ACER).

Other requirements

Students must be in possession of a current Positive Notice Blue Card (or equivalent “Working with Children” check issued in other Australian states or territories) to be eligible for placement in a school site.

To be eligible to complete placements in early childhood settings, pre-service teachers may be required to show proof of immunisation against measles, mumps and rubella and influenza. In addition, some states and territories are requiring vaccination against COVID-19 for all school staff. Please be aware that these regulations would apply to preservice teachers. Regulations may be introduced in any state prior to, or at the time of, scheduled placement/s and all students must adhere to these requirements.

Students must meet the inherent requirements for teaching and must ensure they adhere to any requirements within the scope of teaching across the curriculum learning areas. For full course requirements, visit courses at CQUniversity.
