Course overview

The Graduate Certificate in Religious Education (Primary) is designed to serve a dual purpose:

a) as a foundation for students seeking a qualification in theology but do not have any prior qualifications in this field;

b) as professional development for students currently working as Religious Education teachers.

It qualifies students who apply a body of knowledge in a range of contexts to undertake professional/highly skilled work. It will serve as a foundational ‘stand-alone’ qualification and as a pathway for further learning in theological studies. For students already with teaching qualifications, it provides an opportunity for professional development.
