Course description
About Learning Management (Early Childhood)
The Bachelor of Learning Management (Early Childhood) program is dedicated to the graduation of industry-ready and futures oriented educators. Students are supported by industry-experienced educators – trained to mentor students.
Students explore personal development through self-understanding and expression, as well as the theoretical foundations of education. Academic development and the practical application of teaching skills are also a focal point in learning management programs.
Note: it is now a requirement of the Commission for Children and Young People that all university students and other volunteers in schools undergo a criminal history check. Therefore it will be necessary for all commencing students to apply for a ‘Suitability Blue Card’ through a nominated person at each campus. The ‘Suitability Blue Card’ remains current for two years.
Career Opportunities
The Bachelor of Learning Management (Early Childhood) is a pre-service preparation for those who aim to pursue a career as an early childhood teacher. Graduates are qualified to teach in day care centres, preschools or primary schools from Year 1 to 7. Those who aim to pursue a career within the Catholic Education sector should seek information from the Program Coordinator prior to the commencement of their second year studies.
Students who have completed a TAFE CHC50302 Diploma in Children's Services (Child Care) or equivalent will be eligible to apply for credit into this program of study. Those students who are employed in the field are eligible to apply for entry to the internal program but may complete their studies in an on-line mode of delivery while they continue their employment.
