About this course

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) – Industry Entry program (IEP) pathway will address this need. The program is offered fully by distance education, in both full-time and part-time modes.

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 the Industry Entry course. The Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) – Industry Entry program replaces the previously accredited Accelerated Teacher Training Program offered at CSU.
