SPECIAL ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
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).
You will attain advanced knowledge and skills in supporting individuals with Mental Health challenges, in particular, the three most prominent issues facing contemporary educators, anxiety, depression and eating disorders; and the learning stream, which provides educators with advanced knowledge and skills in supporting individuals with a range of mental health challenges. Each of these areas of mental health addresses challenges and issues faced by mainstream teachers educational practice. This course offers a model of support and flexible tailored learning to suit individual student needs. You will advance your understanding of mental health and be able to apply positive support skills directly into a range of educational environments.
