What about career opportunities?

Once qualified, you are able to move quite freely within the education system to find your niche. Jane explains that if you are interested in progressing further you can either pursue curriculum, where you'll be involved in the development of courses, or take on a pastoral role which involves dealing with both the emotional and academic lives of the students.

Short Course

Classroom Delivery Skills

  This course develops the "people skills" side of training. It shows you how to handle students more effectively; how to enthuse them and keep them committed to their studies; and how to diffuse problems that might undermine their ability to effectively learn.

Course Writing And Development

  Approaches to education are variable, and development of any course should maintain focus on both aims and delivery method. Some courses are developed to be teacher centred; others to be student centred. Experiential learning such as Delivery methods can also vary (eg.Classroom, Workplace, Online, CD E learning, Blended and PBL) and course development requires a different approach in each instance. Learn to develop courses for post secondary or adult education.  Learn all you need to know about how to successfully write courses in order to meet curriculum guidelines.

Certificate

Certificate In Alternative Education

  Education comes in many different shapes and forms, and traditional education systems do not suit everyone. Some people simply don’t learn as well in a highly structured or conventional situation. Sometimes, a parent or employer seeks a different kind of learning: perhaps one that is more focused on the capacity to be innovative and creative and less focused on learning facts and skills; or learning that is more based on developing problem-solving skills. Also, there is a worldwide increasing demand for more flexible forms of delivery or multi-model education. We have designed this course for educators and trainers who want to develop the skills and broader perspective that will help them meet these new and changing demands. It will help you develop alternative education strategies and alternative educational options to meet the changing needs of students and employers.
