Practical experience

Students must complete professional experience units in relevant prior-to-school settings in line with the requirements of national authorities. During this time they are required to be available full-time. All enrolled students must have the appropriate approvals before they may enter a classroom: Working with Vulnerable People (ACT) or Working with Children Check (NSW). International students must bring police check documentation from their own countries. All students who have lived in another country for 12 months or more must provide a police check from that country for that period.

Supervised professional experience is at the heart of all our education courses and the faculty will find appropriate placements to suit the needs of your course. During your required 85 days of professional experience, you’ll be placed in relevant prior-to-school setting at different stages of your course to ensure your practical experience evolves alongside your theoretical knowledge base. 85 days of professional placements will be arranged for the scheduled placement period in the professional experience calendar.
