Overview
This program seeks to explore adult education in a broad range of cross-sector settings and will also aim to have significant links with other programs in the Faculty of Education.
The program seeks to capitalise on an environment of innovation and change in:
• Higher Education
• TAFE and VET in Schools programs
• Health and Community Services
• Military, police and security services
• Corrective services
The courses provide opportunity for students, who are most often mid-career professionals, to develop work-based projects to sustain innovation and change in their own organisations.
The Graduate Certificate is offered in the three streams of Adult Education, Higher Education and VET and assessment tasks are focussed for the relevant group of learners.
Entry Requirements

Consideration will be given to candidates who can demonstrate a combination of training qualifications, e.g. Certificate IV and professional experience that are equivalent to a three year degree, but candidates should check whether this pathway meets the formal teaching accreditation requirements of their employers.
