Learning from the experts

Today’s teachers need increased skills to meet the ever-changing demands of modern society, technology and business.

Australia is a world leader in teacher training and education. An Australian qualification will give you the skills you need to succeed in this environment and prepare your students for the workplace and society of tomorrow.

You’ll find an Australian course to suit your career goal – whether you’re entering the profession or upgrading your skills. Australian universities have courses relevant to educators in diverse settings including early childhood, schools, vocational education and training, universities and the workplace.

Australian expertise used around the world

Australia has pioneered certain areas of education and become an expert in others. These include: distance education; online teaching and learning; inter-cultural education; teaching English as a second language; vocational training; and Indigenous education. Foreign governments and organisations have used the expertise of Australian universities to develop courses and programs in their own countries.

Gain practical experience in Australia

Australian institutions provide state-of-the-art technology in their teaching through multimedia resources. If you are studying in Australia, your course may include a work placement where you work in a school or learning environment so you gain practical experience.

Learn by distance education

Distance education – one of the areas pioneered by Australia – is now offered by Australian universities to foreign students. You can upgrade or expand your teaching skills without leaving your job or home. You’ll gain an international qualification which will give you a competitive edge in your career.

Australian universities offer a wide range of courses, by distance education and on campus in Australia.
