About the course
This associate degree introduces you to university study and provides a supported pathway into Deakin teaching degrees. You’ll study core and elective units aligned to the Bachelor of Education (Primary) while building essential academic and professional skills such as communication, teamwork and digital literacy. The course includes a professional experience unit and can provide credit toward further study in undergraduate education and teaching. The programme develops classroom assistance skills, child development knowledge, and educational support practice.
Career outcome
The course is designed as a pathway into teacher education rather than direct teacher registration. Graduates may progress with credit into Deakin undergraduate teaching degrees, particularly the Bachelor of Education (Primary), and build readiness for professional experience in school settings. It supports entry into roles and further study across education settings, with the long-term goal of becoming a qualified primary or early childhood teacher through subsequent bachelor-level study.
