Graduate Certificate inEducation OverviewIn the Graduate Certificate in Education you willacquire knowledge and understanding of specificissues in education, develop the skills necessary toidentify and evaluate these issues, provide leadershipwithin an educational setting and acquire abilities tomanage the problems identified.

These programs will suit teachers, educators andgraduates with relevant employment experience whoare seeking to make a career change within educationor enhance their existing education career.

Career Development -IMPORTANT INFORMATIONThe field of career development has undergonesignificant change with the attendant demand foraccountability and accreditation. Successfulcompletion of this study area will enable you to workas a career counsellor, career teacher or careercoach. The Career Development study area isrecognised by Career Industry Council of Australia(CICA). This endorsement has been granted for a fiveyear period until 2014.

In the Career Development study area you arerequired to complete the following four (4) units:LCN636 Introductory Educational Counselling ORLCN618 Advanced Educational Counselling; LCN621Career Development and Professional Practice;LCN622 Career Counselling; and LCN637 CareerDevelopment: Policy and Process Context (48 creditpoints).

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: If you have previously studiedan introductory counselling unit or have counsellingexperience, you may satisfy the prior knowledgerequired to study LCN618 Advanced EducationalCounselling without the prerequisite of LCN636Introductory Educational Counselling. If you do notsatisfy the prerequisite, you will need to undertake theunit LCN636 Introductory Educational Counselling inyour first unit of study. If you believe that you havesufficient prior knowledge to waive the requirement tostudy LCN636, you will need to send an email to thestudy area coordinator, Ms Michele Moon([email protected]), with a copy to the courseadministrator, Sian Rodgie ([email protected])and provide certified evidence of your previous study,

and/or an original or certified letter, on letterhead fromyour employer. This waiver must be approvedBEFORE you enrol in LCN618 or LCN622.

BLOCK DATES: As part of your course, you have a'BLOCK’ unit to complete as a core unit. This unitcomprises of a 4 or 5 day intensive at Kelvin GroveCampus during Queensland school holidays andBEFORE semester begins. There will also be somefurther work throughout the remainder of the teachingperiod. If you are required to study LCN636, youshould undertake it in your first semester of study.The Block dates for Career Development are: 13TP(Similar to semester 1) - LCN636 IntroductoryEducation Counselling: Monday 5 - Thursday 8January, 2015 (It is advised that you complete thisunit in the block BEFORE your first semester ofstudy). LCN636 is also offered in internal mode insemester 1 only, attending classes on campus eachweek at Kelvin Grove. SEMESTER 2 - LCN636Introductory Education Counselling: Monday 29 June- Thursday 2 July, 2015 (Unless previouslycompleted, it is advised that you complete this unit inthe block BEFORE your first semester of study);LCN618 Advanced Educational Counselling: Monday29 June - Friday 3 July, 2015.

13TP1: 13TP1 is a teaching period that runs inconjunction with semester 1 each year. LCN636 isoffered in this teaching period because the enrolmentdate is earlier than it is in semester 1. As the block isrun so early in the year, the earlier enrolment dateenables students to be better prepared for theirJanuary block unit. 13TP1 enrolment and censusdates can be found on the 'Key Dates' page on theQUT website.
