Graduate Diploma In Adult Education and Training
Overview
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 project/practicum.
The course is designed on the assumption that 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 and
development of adults. It may also serve as an alternative
form of entry into the Master of Education, which requires
a formal background in the discipline of Education.
