Additional entry requirements

Applicants must complete a non-academic assessment task known as a Teaching Capabilities Statement as part of their application to demonstrate their motivation to teach, their strong interpersonal and communication skills, willingness to learn, resilience, self-efficacy, and strong organizational and planning skills. This involves a short statement in response to three-set questions used to demonstrate suitability for study and work in the teaching profession.

Inherent requirements

The Australian Government has recently introduced the Literacy and Numeracy Test for all initial teacher education (ITE) students to ensure they have a high level of personal literacy and numeracy skills required of teachers.

The test is a single, national instrument designed to assess elements of an individual’s literacy and numeracy skills and will be used to demonstrate that ITE graduates are in the top 30 percent of the population for literacy and numeracy.

All students commencing an ITE program after 1 January 2017 will be required to meet the benchmark prior to graduation.

There are also important inherent requirements for this course and applicants are strongly advised to become aware of these requirements.
