Bachelor of Education (Primary)

NSW Institute of Teachers requirement

The NSW Institute of Teachers require that all students who graduate from this course meet the prerequisite standard of literacy.
The assumed knowledge/entry requirement is;

• Higher School Certificate minimum Band 4 in English Advanced, Standard English or English as a Second Language
  or
  
• other English studies to an equivalent standard.

Where you do not meet these entry requirements, CSU offers concurrent study in English before graduation.

Literacy requirement

To be successful at studies within certain courses,  students must be highly competent in spoken and written English literacy.

All students who do not have this level of competence in spoken and written English will be required to independently organise some form  of coaching in English literacy, such as a short TAFE course or other form of  tuition to improve their skills. Students will be advised of their options by  the Head of School from the campus where they are enrolled.

If, after an agreed period of study in English literacy,  a student's English literacy standard has not improved, the appropriate Head of  School will provide further advice with regard to alternative career options.

National Criminal Record Check

You must undergo a National Criminal Record Check either through your State or Territory Police Service or through the Australian Federal Police in order to obtain a National Police Certificate.

If you have any queries regarding this matter, including  the opportunities available for review of a particular case, contact the Course  Coordinator.
