Course Structure

The Sydney Rudolf Steiner College and our Registered Training Organisation Melbourne Rudolf Steiner College offer the following course.

notes: Advanced Diploma

* Employment as a teacher in most Australian states requires registration with the appropriate body (for example, the VIT in Victoria), for which a four year tertiary course, such as the Bachelor of Education, is required. The Advanced Diploma is therefore not sufficient by itself.

notes: entry to Bachelor of Education

* Advanced Standing refers to:

1. Articulation pathways giving 2 years Advanced Standing into a B Ed course exist with Charles Darwin University and Deakin University
2. Students who gain entry into a B Ed course at the University of Technology Sydney  receive 2 years Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

The first semester offers students foundation studies in Steiner Arts, Philosophy, Humanities and Sciences and an introduction to Steiner/Waldorf education. A two week school observation visit is included.

The second semester applies what has been leant in the foundation studies to the development of Steiner/Waldorf curriculum, pedagogy and teaching practice. It includes 9 weeks of practice teaching in 3 X 3 week blocks.

In each course you will study a number of modules spread over a year which is divided into four terms.

Details of the relevant modules are provided on successful enrolment.
