Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching

As one of Australia’s fastest growing universities, we take a progressive approach to learning. Our courses are co-designed, developed and delivered with industry, giving you confidence that you’ll graduate job-ready.

During this course you will:

1. Learn theories and practices surrounding contemporary teaching and curriculum design.
2. Explore behaviours that can help define and overcome obstacles to learning.
3. Use various technologies to research and deliver educational material.
4. Analyse and review influences, trends and challenges impacting higher education.

This course is unique in its ‘practice-first’ approach, and in the depth of learning about the higher education context. You will collaborate and innovate with a group of likeminded peers through the online learning environment, and through innovative folio and project-based assessment tasks. This is not an accredited Australian Initial Teacher Education course and therefore does not qualify the student to teach in Australia. Tailor your study to your lifestyle thanks to our innovative digital learning system, accessible from anywhere with 24/7 personalised support. Participate in live classes, connecting with specialist lecturers and fellow students. When studying online, you’ll complete the same set of self-paced study modules as on-campus students, and graduate with the same qualification. Best of all, you get access to view live content on demand.

Course duration: Full-time: 5 months Part-time: 11 months Accelerated: 3 months.
