The demand for teachers in TAS is significant. Many existing technology teachers have only one area of expertise and, over the next 10 years, major shortages of TAS teachers are predicted across Australia. CSU's Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) will address this need. The program is offered as a full-time, four-year on campus program taught at the Wagga Wagga Campus.
On completion of this course you will be classed as a teacher of technology with the ability to teach in the key learning area of Technology and Applied Studies. Dual accreditation for general education and vocational education applies for graduates from the program.
Predicted employment trends indicate considerable growth in opportunities in TAS across Australia, particularly due to teacher retirements and the newly established Trade Training Centres in schools.
Graduates will be eligible to teach throughout Australia and overseas.
Professionals teaching you professional skills
The course is taught by dedicated professionals with a wide range of industry experience. Education staff have experience across a broad range of educational settings, from schools, TAFE and industry training.
The discipline studies associated with the different technologies are drawn from industry accredited courses in the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Business.
This course is currently awaiting accreditation approval from the NSW Institute of Teachers.
Students undertake extensive practical experience in schools.
As part of the Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) students will complete a TAA40104 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, which will require enrolment with CSU Training to complete this award. Enrolment and certificate issue costs need to be met by each student. For students who hold a current TAA40104 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment this component of study may be exempted.
Extra costs may be associated for the acquisition of units of competency to gain accreditation and registration to teach VET in schools. These costs will be determined by various Registered Training Organisations (e.g. TAFE NSW) and must be independently paid for and organised by students.
To graduate, students must satisfactorily complete 264 points.
