Students without an undergraduate degree may be admitted to the Graduate Certificate on the basis of relevant professional experience.
Relevant professional experience includes those who are currently working in education-related fields (e.g. Teacher Aides, Library/IT staff) and teachers holding alternative qualifications (e.g. DipEd).
Using a ‘person first’ approach, you will increase understanding of autism, and develop and apply positive support skills to effectively engage learners in a range of educational environments. You will learn how to create supportive learning environments to shift away from traditional views of Autism to contemporary practice and authentic inclusive education. This is not an accredited Australian Initial Teacher Education course and therefore does not qualify the student to teach in Australia.
