Graduate Certificate of Applied Learning and Teaching

This course gives you the opportunity to study core units within the Master of Applied Learning and Teaching. Enjoy the flexibility of graduating with a Graduate Certificate. Students with an existing Bachelor Degree including two teaching methods may continue into the Masters course and qualify to work in secondary schools and other youth settings.

The Graduate Certificate also offers an alternative exit for students wishing to discontinue the Masters degree.

The University aims to provide students with as much credit as possible for approved prior study or informal learning which exceeds the normal entrance requirements for the course and is within the constraints of the course regulations. Students are required to complete a minimum of one-third of the course at Deakin University, or four credit points, whichever if the greater. In the case of certificates, including graduate certificates, a minimum of two credit points within the course must be completed at Deakin.

For graduate-entry initial teacher education courses, applicants may be eligible for Recognition of prior learning (RPL) if additional Australian professional accreditation requirements are also met.

You can also refer to the Recognition of prior learning system which outlines the credit that may be granted towards a Deakin University degree and how to apply for credit.
