The Graduate Certificate in Specialist Teaching provides the opportunity to upskill in a range of specialist teaching areas.
This program is designed for already qualified teachers who want to increase their skills in specialist teaching areas, those teaching ‘out-of-field’ or teachers looking to gain specialist knowledge in a new discipline area. Entry into the Graduate Certificate in Specialist Teaching (TESOL) is available for those without a teaching degree and wanting to embark on a career in TESOL that does not require an initial teacher training degree.
You will choose four specialist subjects within Numeracy, Literacy, STE(A)M, TESOL and Inclusive Education.
This program is delivered online/blended and part-time over 1 year. It is not currently offered full time.
Upon completion of the Graduate Certificate in Specialist Teaching you may choose to pathway to our Master of Specialist Teaching with full credit.
We encourage you to view our recent webinar to find out more about the course.
