Overview

Make an informed assessment about education as a career, focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematics teaching, with the Undergraduate Certificate in Education (P12) from Victoria University.  

This education course provides strong theory and curriculum knowledge in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teaching. 

It will help you prepare for a career in learning settings where teacher registration isn't required, such as community training and after-school or holiday programs.

This Undergraduate Certificate in Education develops knowledge, skills and attributes that will be useful in a range of education roles. It is also a strong basis for further tertiary study in primary or secondary teaching.
