The Diploma of Secondary School Teaching is also suited for secondary school teachers who want to improve their discipline content knowledge within an existing teaching area or gain discipline content knowledge in order to add a new teaching area. While completing the course students will benefit from the unique model of supported on-site school delivery and distance delivery, which involves expert school-based teaching staff on-site and university staff online.
