Oz equivalent to a PGCE (primary teaching)
 

Is there an equivalent post grad course in Oz that also runs for a year for primary teaching? does anyone know if it can be done through the UK O.U. how do you work out the practical part? Can you do it in Oz?

Anyone.........?

Thanks

There are Postgrad diplomas in primary education out there but only this in Canberra and it is 2 years. The Melbourne unis seem to have it - RMIT and LaTrobe seem to have one.

There is a secondary course run by the Australian Catholic University in Canberra but not apparently a primary course. There is a primary course for international students at Strathfield ACU apparently.

The OU has a PGCE but it looks as if it is for secondary subjects only. I have no idea how they would organize the practicum, it is hard enough to get one through ACU or UCan.

Bu by the time I start the course never mind finish it I'd've chnged my mind I bet! :ohmy:
