The Diploma of Education and Training is designed to provide those students entering vocational education and training (VET) programs with no prior tertiary qualifications with the basic knowledge and skills to become a competent teacher, lecturer or instructor in Vocational Education and Training. It may be completed in two years full time or equivalent part time.
Note: There will be no new intake into the Diploma of Education and Training in 2000.
The course broadly aims to develop professional educators and trainers able to make significant contributions to the Australian community, business, industry, educational and governmental organisations. Completion of the course should enable you to:
apply and adapt key concepts and theories of adult education and training within the changing contexts of vocational education and training;
evaluate the contexts of vocational education and training using a range of theoretical perspectives;
analyse the interplay between group, individual and organisational needs and assess how these can be addressed through education and training;
develop and maintain professional relationships and collaborative work practices; and
engage in on-going critical reflection as a means of continuing your professional development.
The Bachelor of Education and Training is designed to provide students with more advanced teaching/learning skills and knowledge in Vocational Education and Training, and also with the knowledge and skills to take on greater responsibilities for the supervision and management of VET. It also gives them the opportunity to go on to a variety of postgraduate programs in VET.
An Honours year, following the third year of the Bachelor of Education and Training, provides outstanding students with the opportunity to study aspects of VET at an advanced level, to undertake a significant piece of research in the field, and it further enhances their opportunity to go on to postgraduate work in this area. The degree may be completed in three years full time or equivalent part time.

In the Honours year or part-time equivalent, two subjects are undertaken from the postgraduate subject pool (see Master of Education brochure or the Faculty of Education Postgraduate Handbook 2000) in addition to a research methods subject and a minor thesis. An additional Honours year provides the opportunity for candidates with a special interest in and capacity for research to undertake a challenging and intensive program with a major research focus in a selected area of vocational education and training.
You may apply for the Bachelor of Education and Training (Honours) if you have completed the Bachelor of Education and Training at a standard of H2B or above in the final year, or an approved equivalent.
Upon completion of this course students should be able to demonstrate:
an understanding of the theory and practice of educational research needed to evaluate the research literature and carry out systematic research activities;
an appreciation of the professional responsibilities and ethical principles associated with research, particularly that conducted in vocational education and training settings; and
advanced knowledge and understanding of educational theory and practice in a selected area relevant to vocational education and training settings.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Education (Honours) award you must:
complete two subjects chosen from the postgraduate pool of subjects in Vocational Education and Training (see 2000 Faculty of Education Postgraduate Handbook). Subjects should be related to a potential thesis topic (2 x 25 points);
complete a research methodology subject (25 points); and
complete a 10,000 word thesis (25 points).

The Bachelor of Education and Training (Singapore Program) is taught in Singapore through an arrangement with the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM). Holders of the Diploma in Human Resource Management at SIM have the opportunity to upgrade their qualification to degree level by undertaking the Bachelor of Education and Training in a combined distance/intensive mode.
Students enrolling in the Singapore Program receive 100 points credit towards the Bachelor of Education and Training and complete the remaining 200 points in Singapore, normally over three years.
This course is only available to international students. Subjects are not available under the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS).
Students who have already completed Certificate IV of Workplace Training prior to commencing the Diploma/Bachelor may, on application, receive credit for all first year subjects except for 468-119 Integrating IT Into Training.
For information on lateral entry and credit, please contact the Faculty Office at the Hawthorn Campus.
The Diploma of Education and Training and the Bachelor of Education and Training courses consist of four compulsory strands. Studies in Learning provides subjects which enable the student to understand learning in the workplace, the wider influences on learning and the learner, and selected models and theories of learning appropriate to vocational education and training. Contexts and Applications of Education and Training provide the student with background knowledge about work and cultural issues affecting VET. All the subjects in these two strands are compulsory. The VET Practice strand provides the professional knowledge and practice necessary for graduates to assume responsibility for education and training programs. The compulsory subjects in this stream are designed to allow students to adapt models and approaches to their own workplaces. Elective subjects are available in this strand in the second and third years. The Information Technology and Multimedia strand enables the student to gain and develop skills in this area of increasing importance in education and training. The elective subjects allow students to expand their knowledge in IT in specific areas of workplace need.

The delivery of subjects is flexible and may involve a range of alternative modes. These include:
Weekly Sessions
A combination of lectures, tutorials, workshops and seminars.
Intensive Seminars and Workshops
These may be offered as intensive sessions of one or more days. Weekend and vacation teaching may also be possible.
Online Delivery
Some subjects will be available in online mode for students who have access to computer equipment with communications capability.
Combinations
Subjects may be delivered in one or a combination of these modes.
Computer Mediated Delivery
As most subjects in the course involve use of computer technology, where possible, students will be engaged in the use of Bulletin Boards, information networks and multimedia applications. Students will be encouraged to publish and communicate with colleagues and lecturers using this technology.
The contact hours listed in the subject descriptions are, therefore, expressed in terms of the total contact or equivalent for that subject. It should be noted that the type of delivery used will be determined, to some extent, by student demand.
All subjects in the first year of the Diploma of Education and Training and the Bachelor of Education and Training include a special requirement statement which advises students of the need to have access to an approved role in education and training to enable them to undertake workplace tasks as required, integrating theory and practice. The access to an approved role in education and training is normally guaranteed by the employer in writing as a condition of entry to the course. Should access to this role become unavailable or restricted during the course, the student will be responsible for finding an alternative placement as approved by the Faculty. Failing this, in extenuating circumstances, the Faculty may approve a period of leave of absence for a reasonable period of time in which employment or an education and training role may be sought by the student.
Students in the first year of study may be required to collaborate with workplace mentors, supervisors or colleagues, as well as lecturers and fellow students to undertake tasks in their workplace integrating theory and practice. It is expected that time of at least equivalent to subject contact hours will be spent in the workplace training role.
