Applicants will also be required to engage in reflection of non-academic attributes related to teaching. Students will be responsible for meeting any costs associated with this process. 

Entry to this course will not be possible based on work experience alone. This is consistent with current practice for accredited Initial Teacher Education courses taught by the School of Education.

Students are required to provide evidence of successful completion of the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education students (LANTITE) prior to completing their course. The test is managed by ACER and details of the test (for example, sample questions, the Test Window dates, and registration) are at 

Students are responsible for meeting the costs associated with taking these tests, which are a national requirement applicable to all teaching graduates.

Students are expected to have successfully completed the LANTITE between the first and final professional experience unit.

All students are required to successfully complete four compulsory professional experience placements as part of designated units throughout the course. These placements must be undertaken in registered schools or early learning centres where the language of instruction is English.Ìý

Placements are undertaken on a full-time basis for the number of days shown in a continuous block and students need to plan carefully to ensure they are able to meet this commitment. The total number of days of professional experience in the course will satisfy all states' requirements for teacher registration.Ìý

None of the four professional experience placements can be broken or split into shorter periods.

No more than 50% of professional experience days may be undertaken in schools outside of Australia. Therefore, students can complete their first three-week placement outside Australia but must complete all other placements within Australia.

Students will be required to have a current and valid Working with Children clearance as required by the state or country in which the placement provider is located. They will also need to meet any other relevant State requirements before engaging in any work with children or professional experience. If students have any doubt about their eligibility to acquire these clearances they should contact the local Teacher Registration Authority.
