Graduate Diploma In Adult Education And Training
The Graduate Diploma in Adult Education and Training is a coursework
postgraduate Diploma designed to meet the specific educational development
needs of a broad range of adult education practitioners. The course
is designed to cover the generic professional skills for all those
who work in the training and education of adults in a variety of
settings - business, industry, community education, government and
private organisations. Candidates will pursue studies in five major
subject areas and demonstrate their skills and knowledge in a special

students undertaking the course will have already obtained their
first professional qualification and that their current employment
requires that they obtain professional qualifications in the training

of entry into the Master of Education, which requires a formal background
in the discipline of Education.
