Postgraduate Certificate in Tertiary Teaching
PGCertTertTchg
The courses in this professional qualification look beyond the focus of a specific department or knowledge area and consider academic practices from various disciplines.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Tertiary Teaching is designed to enable graduates to apply knowledge of research to teaching and learning, develop and justify a repertoire of teaching approaches and assessment practices, and evaluate and advance their teaching practices.
