Overall Duration: 3.0 (FTE) Actual Duration: 2.0 (FTE) A standard credit package of 64 points, represented as EDU42C, will apply for a previously completed relevant undergraduate degree that meets NESA content/discipline requirements for Secondary education.

Normal course duration is the effective period of time taken to complete a course when studied Full-time (Full-time Equivalent Duration). Students are advised to consult the Enrolment Pattern for the actual length of study. Not all courses are offered in Full-time mode.
Admission to the Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) Graduate Entry will be on the basis of successful completion of an acceptable undergraduate degree that includes the equivalent of three-quarters of a year (0.75 Equivalent Full Time Study Load - EFTSL) of discipline study, usually comprising sequential discipline study taken over three years. In most programs, this equates to six units, with no more than two units at first year level and no fewer units than two units at third year level.
English Language Proficiency Entry Requirements for Teacher Education Preparation Programs
All applicants who do not meet the Standard CSU English Proficiency Requirements must demonstrate proficiency by completing an Academic IELTS (or equivalent) with an overall score of 7.5 (with no score below 7 in reading and writing, and a score of no less than 8 in speaking and listening).
Note: Please refer to relevant National or State employing bodies for their English language proficiency requirements when seeking employment.
Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) Graduate Entry

If students require additional discipline subjects (maximum of two) to meet NESA accreditation requirements then the following credit package will apply:
Students may be granted up to a maximum of eight subjects credit from the set of sixteen core Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) subjects based upon additional graduate entry studies.
In order for a student to gain credit for a professional experience, the applicant must demonstrate to the Director, Professional Experience Unit that the completed task was indeed equivalent to a professional experience, that is, the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) had provided the student with an opportunity to satisfy the requirements of a typical professional experience. Typically, that would require the pre-service teacher to demonstrate that she/he has developed the skills, knowledge and understanding of the role of a teacher through:
- systematic observation of colleague's teaching and professional dialogue about such observations;
- teaching in a classroom in a collaborative role with an experienced colleague;
- the development of structured teaching and learning materials that are systematically evaluated;
- the development of a professional portfolio;
- discussion of personal teacher development with a supervising colleague on a regular basis;
-engagement in professional dialogue with independent (university) personnel;
- formal assessment of teaching competence by a supervising teacher.
Any student who is conditionally employed within a secondary school setting and is successful in gaining Professional Experience Credit then this credit will only apply to EPT441 Professional Experience 1. It is a course requirement that students must complete practicum in two diverse settings, as such, the student must then complete EPT442 Professional Experience 2 professional experience requirements at a different school settings.
Any student who completed professional experience as part of another incomplete degree may apply to have that practicum recognised as equivalent in the same manner that they would apply for credit for other subjects.
To graduate students must satisfactorily complete 192 points.
To graduate with the Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary), students must complete 192 points (24 subjects) including entry level credit. All subjects have a value of 8 points. The basic course structure consists of 16 education subjects made up of 12 core subjects plus 4 restricted electives (at least 2 curriculum method subjects, and 2 further restricted electives). Those entering the course with less than the maximum credit package must complete an additional 1-2 teaching discipline subjects depending on their background, as explained below.
Upon entry to the course, a standard credit package will be given to each student based on how well the student's undergraduate degree meets the requirements for their intended teaching area, in terms of the NSW Educational Standards Authority (NESA) guidelines.
Students whose background fully meets the requirements are given the maximum standard credit package of 64 points (equivalent to 8 subjects), and simply complete the 16 education subjects (128 points).
Students who do not meet the NESA content/discipline requirements receive proportionally less credit (either 56 points or 48 points) based on the number of additional discipline content subjects required.
Students with the 56-point entry level credit package are required to complete the 16 education subjects (128 points) plus one 8-point discipline content subject to satisfy requirements for their teaching area.
Students with the 48-point entry level credit package are required to complete the 16 education subjects (128 points) plus two 8-point discipline content subjects to satisfy requirements for their teaching area.
