Have you considered the Graduate Certificate for 2017?

The Graduate Certificate in Higher Education is a professional development activity which is free for staff members at the University. It is a postgraduate award course designed to build, and build on, your university teaching experience.

Participants in this year’s course commented:

The Grad Cert expands ideas and knowledge about teaching
Reflections useful in highlighting how students look at things
Assignments were rewarding and useful as well as challenging

And their comments highlighted the value of working with peers, mentioning:

The interactions in class
Spending time with like minded people
Group discussion and the ability to talk to people who work in other contexts

Participants from previous years have found the Grad Cert a valuable career experience:

… the program has helped me find my passion in learning and teaching and apply it to dentistry and make the two work synchronously together.

(Dr Susie Dracopoulos, Faculty of Dentistry)

I am really appreciative of the whole Grad Cert experience…. I am certainly using the skills I was taught, on a daily basis now. I think I was the only casual tutor doing the Grad Cert last year and thanks in a large part to that I think, my career has had a change of direction which I am enjoying immensely.

(Samantha Haley, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences)
