Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

The Graduate Certificate program aims to help teaching staff develop the core skills, versatility, competence and confidence to teach effectively in higher education. The Graduate Certificate is also intended for staff experienced in teaching who wish to further develop this aspect of their work. The program is designed to assist participants in the development of a teaching portfolio, a requirement for academic promotion. Successful completion of the first subject also meets the related probation requirement of Swinburne University. Ongoing and contract teaching staff new to both Swinburne and teaching are expected, according to employment guidelines, to complete the unit LTS501 The practice of Learning and Teaching in the first 12 months of their appointment.
