AMEB TEACHING DIPLOMAS

A head start on your CTMusA or ATMusA.

One course. Most of the work for either diploma.

“
Completing my teaching diploma was one of the most rewarding things I have done. It lifted my skills and my confidence as a teacher. But the path was long. I spent a whole year working out where to start, then two more years in one-on-one mentoring to finish, and doing it alone was hard and isolating. This course is the missing link: it gives teachers structure, support and focus, and the company of colleagues learning alongside them.

Helen's experience is a common one. AMEB's teaching diplomas are rigorous and highly respected, but they come as a syllabus without a curriculum: they set out what will be assessed, not how to prepare for it. Many teachers lose months working out where to begin.

The course gives you that structure, with a group of fellow teachers working alongside you. It leads to MTA(NSW) Fellowship, and gives you a clear pathway and much of the preparation for your CTMusA or ATMusA.
