CSU's Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) - industry entry program brings together a diverse range of subjects. Graduates will be trained as secondary school teachers eligible to teach in the Trade Training Centres in schools.

Why study this course?

There is a significant demand for Technology and Applied Studies teachers. CSU’s Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) – industry entry program provides students who have industry experience the opportunity to enhance their skills qualifying them for career opportunities in Trade Training Centres in schools. The program is offered part-time and full-time by distance education, allowing students to fit study around work, family and other commitments.

Students will develop strong practical skills through workplace learning. On completion of this course students will be classed as teachers of technology with the ability to teach in the key learning area of Design and Technology and  another teaching area selected from: Agricultural Technology; Industrial Technology; Information Technology, Food Technology and Textiles Technology. Graduates from the program have the opportunity to gain dual accreditation for general education and vocational education.

NOTE: If you are a school leaver and/or do not believe you hold the required industry qualifications and experience for this course then the four-year on campus Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) may be the course for you.

Associated costs

As part of the Bachelor of Education (Technology and Applied Studies) students will complete a TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment which will require enrolment with CSU Training to complete this award.

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.
