The course has two major components. The first component is a two year core program.

Program studies are designed to complement the development of competence and experience in the teaching context.

You attend program studies at the school two days each week and undertake supervised teaching experience in a post primary school for two days each week.

The fourth and final semester of the core program is an Integrated Studies Program in which you undertake projects designed to integrate, extend and apply knowledge and skills acquired during the previous three semesters.

The second component of the course is the complementary studies which constitute the third year and consist of two parts.

The first part comprises Advanced Specialist Studies in which you pursue studies designed to increase the depth of knowledge and skills in your base specialist field. You may apply for credits for such studies completed prior to enrolment. The second part consists of the Technology Education Program in which you pursue studies designed to extend and broaden your understanding and skills in various aspects of technology education.

You undertake third year studies on a part-time basis with classes conducted late afternoon, weekends and during school vacations.
