Overview
The Adult, Vocational and Higher Education postgraduate specialisations have been developed to respond to an emerging market in adult education and the need to respond to initiatives in education and training around online learning and flexible delivery. The program will 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 organizations in their post graduate courses.
The GradDipVET benefits those staff who are considering promotion or employment within the TAFE sector.
The program is offered in online mode and will have options for total online and mixed mode delivery depending on student and client needs.
